James Dillon Obituary

Mr. Dillion was a leader and mentor to me when I worked as a Private Investigator for his detective agency in 1986-1987. Jim motivated me to seek a career in law enforcement/security and encouraged me to seek advanced education.

I’m for ever grateful for Jim and the time he took to develop me.

Godspeed Mr. Dillion.

So sorry for your loss. May you find comfort and strength to endure this time of sorrow by drawing close to God who gives support to those who rely on Him. Psalms 145: 14, 18

so very sorry to hear of Jims passing. We worked with each other for many years. He alwaywas an inspiration and leader of his men. He also was a valued member of my staff, giving guidance to me and men of the spd of the highest quality. He will be missed by all who were fortunate to know him..

Psalm 90:10 says that the days of our years are 70 years, And if because of special mightiness they are 80 years.
May the memories of the wonderful times you shared together bring a smile and joy in your heart.

My sincere condolences to your family for the loss of your love one. May the God of comfort be with you during this sad occasion and may his loving words at John 6:40 console your heart.

Sorry for your loss may the God of comfort be with you and your family

I seriously doubt words can ever express Jim's impact on SPD. When I was hired in 1974 I was one of the first on the department with a BS in Law Enforcement Administration. Combined with the police academy and an excellent FTO I felt I had a broad knowledge base. Jim continually showed me things I never saw before on subjects ranging form knowledge & application of law, and department policy. His investigative expertise, especially at death investigations often left me speechless. Jim was a very close second to Marty Conroy himself
Gone, but never forgotten. RIP "10-1"

May your memories of the wonderful times that you shared with your loved one bring comfort to you and your family at this difficult time My condolences Isaiah 61:1&2

I am so sorry for the loss of your loved one. Please find peace and comfort in Psalms 119:76.

I am so sorry to hear of Jims passing but I am sure he is in a better place now! I started working with Jim at SPD in 1975 until his retirement in 1985. As a former Chicago cop, and being a fellow Irishman, I felt an instant bond with Jim. He worked hard and laughed easily. He played a huge role in the early development and legacy of SPD. He was a model of honor and integrity. He was very proud of his family and spoke of his children often. My sincerest condolences to Jims family.

I am deeply sorry for your loss. May God's loving kindness comfort you and help you through this sad and difficult time. Psalms 119:50,76.

You have my deepest sympathy. May God give you peace and strength to keep you going during your time of sorrow.

MY DEEPEST CONDOLENCES TO FAMILY. MAY THE DEVIL HEAR OF YOUR DEATH AFTER YOU HAVE REUNITED WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS IN HEAVEN. SEMPER FI

I had the honor to work with Jim for many years, starting in 1973. Jim was a hard working person who was instrumental in helping to create the Schaumburg Police Department.

Jim Dillon was a cop's cop. He came from a family that valued public service as his father was a Chicago Fireman. He was a role model for me and always warned me about the pitfalls and temptations of being a police. Jim, who was my uncle, helped my career and supported me in all of my endeavors. His children, Jimmy and Debbie, followed his example and also have had distinguished careers in law enforcement. We will miss you Uncle Jim.

Jim was a legend in the Illinois Chapter of the FBINAA. His military and police service was exceptional. My condolences to Debbie and Jim, it was a pleasure to be with you and your father at many events throughout the Country and particularly in the Chicago area.
