Guy L. Dilno
Guy Leroy Dilno, 71, passed away Monday in Twin Lake, MI, surrounded by friends and family.
Guy leaves behind his beloved wife of 36 years, Charlotte Dilno; his sister Cheri Vandrey, his stepchildren Brad Richmond, Kimberly Hickey and Lance Ostrom; ten grandchildren, seven great-grandchildren and many friends.
Born in Kalamazoo, the son of Lee and Wilda Dilno, Guy was a longtime resident of Plainwell. He graduated from Plainwell High School in 1964. After serving in the Army, he returned home and graduated from University of Michigan-Dearborn in 1972 and remained a devoted UofM football fan. Engineering was his calling and he enjoyed a fulfilling career as an aerospace and mechanical engineer for ABEX/NWL, Allied Signal, Honeywell and Eclipse Aviation. His work took him to Indiana, Arizona and eventually New Mexico, where he and Charlotte have lived since 2006.
Outside of work, he was an avid car enthusiast, history buff, political observer, thoughtful blogger and passionate reader. Above all, he was a devoted husband, caring father and grandfather.
A visitation will take place on Sunday, September 10, 2017 at the Winkel Funeral Home, Otsego, from 12:30PM until the time of memorial service at 1:30PM with a gathering to follow.
An internment service will be held at Ft. Custer National Cemetery, Augusta, MI. at 2:15 PM Monday, Sept 11.

I am truly sorry for your loss, please accept my sincere condolences. I hope the Dilno family will find some comfort and strength in Jesus promise of the earthly resurrection (Acts 24:15, John 5:28, 29) and the renewed Paradise earth, where death is an enemy (1 Corinthians 15:26) that will very soon be eleminated forever, and no family will mourn the death of a loved one (Revelation 21:3,4). This promise has been given by Almighty God Jehovah (Psalms 83:18). Truly, what a glorious and almost unbelievable day that will be! It’s a reality though for God cannot lie (Titus 1:2).

I am so sorry to hear about Guy’s passing. We were very close ever since we became friends in the 4th grade. We spent many good times together. May God be with you in this time of deep sorrow.
