Christine and Tim, we are so deeply saddened by the loss of your father. We always enjoyed just running into him here and there. The conversation was always up beat, punctuated with lots of laughter. We will miss him terribly and will always remember him with great fondness. Take care and God Bless

Every time I hear thunder, I will think of "Chevy Eddie" pulling into my driveway and reving up his '55 Chevy. To all the good times, the jokes, smiles, laughter, pizza and beer. To all the "Sock Hops" and New Year's Partys that we did at Pius and other churches around Milwaukee as "Rocky & Rolly's Oldies Revue". Look out "Rock and Roll Heaven", Ed has arrived and he knows all the "oldies" and who did them.... he knows them all. I will miss you and never forget you............................

We will miss you Mr. Dixon. It was always nice hearing your voice when you would call my parents house, so fun to talk to, would always leave a smile on my face.
When we use our retro telephone, the wedding gift you gave us nine years ago, we will think of you.

I grew up hearing a lot of funny stories about my Dad and Mr. Dixon cruising the highway, racing their hot rods and just good times. We are so sorry to hear about Mr. Dixon's passing. He was such a good friend of my Dad's. I know he will be missed by all.

We are truly very sad to hear of the passing of Mr. Dickson. I grew up hearing of the many drag racing tales involving making laps up and down Wisconsin Avenue, and the many memories involving hanging out at "Gilles." We will miss you...

Christine, We are so sad to hear of your dad's passing. He was a great guy with a great sense of humor -- always ready with a joke and a smile! He was certainly very lucky to have such a wonderful, caring daughter by his side to help him through his illness. Our prayers are with you.
With much love,
