Maj. Edward B. Dillon USAF., Ret

February 19, 1938 - October 26, 2019

It is with great sadness that the family of Edward Bertrand Dillon announces his passing after a brief but arduous battle with cancer on Saturday, October 26, 2019, at the age of 81. He was born in Utica, New York and has called Benicia, California his home for the past 19 years. Ed will be lovingly remembered by his wife and best friend, Desiree, and his sons Michael, Matthew and Christopher (Anne Marie), his grandchildren, Candace, Andrew, Meghan and Lauren and 5 great-grandchildren. Ed will also be fondly remembered by his siblings Judith (Kaltenbach), Mary (Coonradt), Kathleen (Nathan), Robert, John and Joseph along with his in-laws Kenneth and Jean Landon. He was predeceased by his parents, Edward James Dillon and Eleanor Bertrand Dillon and his brother James. He will also be warmly remembered by his adopted Turkish families, the Ali Ustays and Selcuk Aks. Ed studied at St. Michael's College in Toronto, Canada prior to entering the US Air Force in 1960. The highlight of Ed's 20-year Air Force career was flying as a B-52 bombardier and an F-111 navigator. He was an avid gunsmith, wood artisan, world traveler, chef, grill-master, family historian and good-hearted friend to many. Ed was truly a renaissance man. To raise a glass of your favorite wine or Irish beer in his memory would be quite appropriate and give him great joy. A celebration of life will be held during his birthday month of February 2020 in Benicia, California. Donations in memory of Ed can be made to Full Circle Home (www.fullcirclehome.org) or the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (www.jdrf.org)
