Hi Stephanie,
Here's what I know about Adrian D. Equitz:
Born 12 Jul 1933, Wisconsin; died 27 Nov 1979, Chicago, IL. Married at least 3 times: Ann M. Abene (16 Jun 1954, Cook Co., IL); Veronica L. Zartler (27 Aug 1958, Cook Co., IL); Lynn Oberg (date & place of marriage unknown; she's listed as his surviving spouse on the death certificate).
Parents: Erwin Bruno Equitz (1890-1946) and his 2nd wife Pearl Awerdick (1895-1980), both born Wisconsin.
Grandparents: (paternal) Wilhelm Equitz (1849-1903) and Emilie Vollbrecht (1859-1946), both born Germany; (maternal) David Awerdick (ca. 1864-?), born New York, and Ella -?- (ca. 1865-?), born Wisconsin.
I find the name Dillon in connection with these people in my records too. At the time of the 1930 Census, Gladys L. Equitz (b. 1919), the eldest child of Erwin and his first wife, Emma Grace Knepper, was living with her great-aunt Bertha Dillon in Los Angeles.
Let me know if you'd like more information, such as exact dates of birth & death. I also have Adrian's marriage record to Ann M. Abene and his death record.
Best regards,
