Dean Dillingham
--
We're sorry to report the passing of Dean Dillingham at the age of 81 after a courageous battle with cancer.
Dean served Pacific Swimming and USA Swimming in a wide variety of capacities. After Pacific Swimming was formed out of the AAU in the late 1970s, Dean was its first general chairman. He served as Age Group vice president of United States Swimming, for years was the Top 16 times tabulator for Pacific, and provided timing services at many of our meets. Our condolences to his spouse Jacquie, who worked by his side in all his endeavors, and to his children and grandchildren.
According to the family, donations in Dean's memory may be made to the Sierra Nevada Memorial Hospital Cancer Center in Grass Valley, the American Cancer Society, or a charity of choice.
