Obituary for Glenn E. ""Giddyup"" Dillon
Glenn “Giddyup” E. Dillon 80 of Harrison passed away Saturday, February 16, 2019 at his home. Glenn was born June 21, 1938 in Boynton, Missouri, the son of Donald and Theodosia (McDowell) Dillon. Mr. Dillon honorably served his country in the United States Army. Glenn began his civilian career working as a truck driver, delivering freight for over thirty years, retiring in 1994. Glenn was united in marriage to Ms. Yvonne J. McWethy on July 16, 1971 in Highland, Michigan.
Mr. Dillon had resided in Harrison since 2012, moving from Sears, Michigan and previously from Evart, Michigan and White Lake, Michigan.
