Community Remembers Dan Dillon as Selfless Advocate


PITTSFIELD, Mass. Many are mourning the loss of local human services advocate Daniel Dillon, 79, who passed away on Monday, Jan. 4, at Berkshire Medical Center from complications of COVID-19.
Born June 14, 1941, and a graduate of St. Joseph s High School and Berkshire Community College, Dillon held many important roles throughout his lifetime including as a soldier, a leader, and a helping hand.
I had the privilege to know and to work with Dan Dillon for nearly 20 years,  President and CEO of Greylock Federal Credit Union John Bissell said. He set the standard for community service, and service above self. In every capacity, from community volunteer roles to his leadership of the Berkshire United Way, to his engagement with local politics, and his part-time role at Greylock, Dan demonstrated how deeply he cared for all of the people in this region. We will miss his tireless energy, his upbeat spirit, and his Irish charm. ....
