Summary
- Sergio Pizzorno's grandfather, Wilf Dillon, became student union president at 50.
- Dillon enrolled in a politics course at age 47 after selling his business.
- His family donated newspaper cuttings, exam papers, and photographs to the university.
The family of Kasabian's Sergio Pizzorno has honored his grandfather, Wilf Dillon, by donating a collection of his personal items to the University of Leicester's archive. Dillon, who was elected student union president in 1971 at the age of 50, had enrolled in a politics course three years prior after selling his family's hosiery business.
His daughter, Pat Pizzorno, Sergio's mother, contributed newspaper clippings, exam papers, and photographs, describing her father's archive as a window into an "everyday man who lived an extraordinary life." Wilf Dillon's legacy as a student leader and a remarkable individual is now preserved for future generations.
