Joe Dickson has been my best friend for over 50 years. He has done more for the residents of Ajax than anyone I know. He will be sadly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.

RIP Joe
I so remember you on your bicycle bringing pages of local news to my mother for her to type and prepare for our local newspaper "The Ajax Advertiser".
Memories include your dad "Lou" who published the paper.
