Robert “Bob” L. Dillman, 91, of Littlestown, passed away Thursday, November 13, 2025, at Paramount Senior Living, Fayetteville. He was the loving husband of Sandra “Sonnie” J. (Little) Dillman; together they shared 67 years of marriage.
Born July 31, 1934, in Mount Misery, PA, he was the son of the late Leo A. and Helen G. (Smith) Dillman.
Bob was a 1952 graduate of Delone Catholic High School and a 1959 graduate of the Philadelphia School of Barbering. He served with the military police in the U.S. Air Force from January 1953 to December 1956. He began as a barber at Redding’s Barber Shop in Littlestown in April 1959 and later opened Dillman’s Barbershop in August 1963, retiring in July 2014 after 55 years of service. His barber shop jokes and stories were legendary… and while you may have entered his shop a “customer,” you were guaranteed to walk out a “friend.”
