Kozy Cafe and Modern Motel
3525 S Echo Rd, Echo Utah
In 1948 Willard and Cora Dillree became the proud owners of Kozy Cafe. The Kozy Cafe flourished in Echo; most of the credit can go to Cora's wonderful cooking.
Willard and Cora taught their sons and daughter about the cafe, but one took the most interest, their son Clinton - most people knew him as 'Fat' Dillree. Fat took much pride in the cafe and spent most of his time there. Unfortunately, Fat died suddenly at an early age.
Today, the Kozy Cafe is known for it's home cooking and its ghosts. Many employees and customers believe that the ghosts of the Dillrees haunt the cafe, keeping a close eye on the place they loved. The Dillree that seems to visit the most is Fat.
Employees state that at night when the cafe is empty you can hear his favorite barstool squeaking as if Fat is sitting and spinning it back and forth. Employees are often shocked by the sound of Fat's voice asking for a refill of his coffee as they are closing for the night.
Employees and customers have both witnessed the sound of Fat's boots stomping their way across the cafe to the jukebox. The jukebox will suddenly turn on, often playing a Johnny Cash song, and the volume will continue to rise.

The Kozy is neither haunted nor open anymore. Whomever was haunting it left several years ago. It was not the Dilrees. I knew them.
I worked at the Kozy cafe as a cook . Fats was a hard worker, he would come in everynight haul the garbage out, cut chicken and clean the restrooms. He was a wonderful man. I have been in Cali for the last 26 years and now have returned to Salt Lake. It saddens me every time I see the Kozy Cafe. Echo, Ut Its been closed for some years. It was a 24 hr cafe. I lived right behind it. I loved Fats. He was a good man. He was a mediator between my best friend and I during a bad time. I wanted to look him up and was afraid to do so, I didnt know that he had passed until now. Thanks. I dont remember Fats ever sitting.
