To the entire Dickson family, please accept my deepest condolences on your loss. He was such a good man.

A great person and uncle
Thinking of all of you p

Barbara, I am saddened by the news of Hughie's death. I am thinking of you, especially today, and know that you will find comfort from the loving family you created. Hughie made the Dickson name a good name to have. He was a lovely man. Judy Dickson

Barbara, We are so sorry to learn about Hugh's passing. We were always happy to see you and Hugh at any family affairs, you both have been so much fun to be with, witty and always interested in family affairs. We thank you for those moments we had together. Hoping there will be more, too.

Barbara, not sure if you remember me from Pandora, but I remember you well, especially since if it wasn't for you I would not have met my second husband - it was through your help that I got a job working for Bob Stewart at Manchester Security Service, where I met Stephan. I am so sorry to hear of your loss and I send my most sincere condolences to you and your family.


"Sunny" was a childhood friend of mine; and during the early war years he lived on the east side of Prout's Park and I lived on the West side. But that was before the family moved to Harrison Street, just below the "Ledge," where we spent the long summer months together, swimming and jumping from the heights. I remember his mother as being a beautiful Scottish lady and I think I was half in love with his younger sister, though I was just a kid. Hi, Audrey!
