To the family of Frank Dickerson. I am one of the receptionist at the Carrington Place. Frank could always brighten up my day. He was so proud of his children and grandchildren. He would always pull pictures out and show me. I am really gonna miss his smile and all his talks. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time.

We were very fond of Frank and will miss him dearly. His presence in the SCV will surely be missed. God Bless, Brandon and Kristin Dorsey and family.

Isobel, Dave and Denny:
Please accept my sympathies on Frank's passing. He was a good man, and I had great respect for him as a fellow Lion in years past and his military service to our country. I also have fond memories of working for him (and you,too, Dave) at the old Elm avenue gas station.
Sincerely,
Paul Tucker

My sympathy to the family of Mr. Dickerson. I got to meet Mr. Frank only once but he made an impression on me. I met him in Tennessee at an SCV meeting. I fondly recall our conversation and how full of life he was. He was, in my opinion, a true Son of the South.

Dear Dickerson Family: I am so sad to learn of Frank's passing. Frank and I had a special bond, as we BOTH were raised at the children's home. He just got there a few years before I did. I will miss him and his wonderful smile. Please accept my condolences during this time of sorrow. I believe in my heart that Frank was a man of great character, despite the obstacles that he may have faced in his life. Bev Coleman

Frank was always one of those people that I thoroughly enjoyed seeing because he was always so positive about life regardless of how he was feeling at the time. The community has lost a good soul! I will miss running into him!
