Lloyd T. Dillow, Jr., “Junior” 87, of Point Marion, passed away Saturday, January 25, 2025, in the Horizon Personal Care Home in Fairchance. Born November 12, 1937, in Gans, he was a son of the late Clara Porter and Lloyd Dillow, Sr.
A 1957 graduate of Point Marion High School, Junior served in the U.S. Army Reserves, had worked as a butcher at the former 119 Superette, worked for Greer Limestone and retired as a coal miner from U.S. Steel’s Kirby mine. Following his retirement, he delivered parts for area auto parts stores.
In his spare time, Junior enjoyed cutting grass, painting for neighbors, or just sitting on the front porch or back swing watching the cars go by. He was a special father, who would do anything for anyone.
