It's been well over 40 years since I last saw him, but Dicey was not someone you forget. He's an east side legend. My condolences to his family.

Dicey was a good friend to myself and my significant other Mark Zimmer. We loved his company and his humor. A good soul who could always make you laugh and find humor in everything. He kept us laughing and always found the absurdity in life. Dicey always appreciated a good dinner and we enjoyed treating him to them. We will miss him.

My deepest sympathies to the Hoydic Family and friends.
Dicey was a fun guy to be around. Always had a quick wit about him. Although I hadn't seen him in years, when they mentioned him at Mass yesterday at St. James, I was hoping that it was someone else.

God Bless!!!

Chuck and I have many great memories of Dicey, just sittin' around the picnic table, playing pinochlle, firing up the grll and just enjoyin the summer days pass by. Once, he hit the lotto and took us to a place in NY where we got the biggest cut of prime rib i've ever seen! The beef was hanging out all around the platter, Awesome! Of course, knowing Dicey, he slipped the waitress a $100 before we started ordering 'carte blanche' all that we wanted. He always treated us as the good friends we became and don't expect we'll come across another like him, truly one of a kind and a great survivor in all times, good and bad. We love you friend, and will treasure our memories of time spent together.
