Dillon was born in Savannah, Georgia, and went to UNC where he was an all-American basketball player (he may have gone to Georgia Tech before UNC, but I haven't found real evidence.) After graduating, he took a job in the personnel department at Hooks Hosiery and later signed to play basketball with the Washington Capitols.

Hook married Joan in 1952 and they had four daughters and two sons.
