Dillon, they named him, Arthur Lee Dillon. He along with his siblings, Wilbert, James, Dennis, Frank, Helen, Laura, Shirley, Maxine, Myrtle, Willene, Jerri and Emma, were reared in a loving Christian environment where Christ was reverenced. Arthur Lee was a proud graduate of Washington Parish High School, class of 1966.  Upon completing high school and relocating to Fort Worth, Arthur became employed with Miller Brewery as a Forklift    driver. In 2009,  Arthur Lee retired with over thirty years of committed and dutiful service to Millers, even serving as a Union Representative with the Teamsters. On July 31, 2015, Mr. Dillon heard the call from his master, “come unto me all ye that are heavy laden and I will give thee rest”.  He is now seated at the welcome table with his parents, his brother-Frank Dillon, and his sister-Emma J.
