John N. Dyll, 92, of Sharon passed away Thursday morning, March 11, 2021, in Sharon Regional Medical Center.

Mr. Dyll was born June 23, 1928, in Sharon, a son of John and Caroline (Smolenski) Dyll. He was a 1946 graduate of Farrell High School, where he was an exceptional three sport athlete. In 1994, he was inducted into the Mercer Co. Sports Hall of Fame for his achievements as a varsity football, basketball and baseball player.

A veteran of the U.S. Army, John was stationed in Germany during the Korean War and achieved the rank of Sergeant prior to being honorably discharged.

John was a member of Sts. Peter & Paul Evangelical Lutheran Church, Sharon, where he served as an Elder and oversaw the church food pantry.

In his younger years, he remained active in sports by coaching Sharon Little League. An avid golfer, John loved the game and continued playing into his early 90's, and now in heaven, he will birdie every hole.

He was a lifelong and oldest living member of the Slovenian Athletic Club, Sharon, where he actively volunteered at annual fundraisers to provide local students with scholarships.
