THERON L. DIKEMAN Jr.

St Louis University Orthodontic prof. Ted was a great student. Could always count on him having a smile He sent me a disc with his band's music and didn't even charge me. He will be missed. Phil Levens

Doc DIkeman played at our wedding in 1982. He made the party! Our condolences. Kerry Foley and Dan Warren

What a delight it was to get to know your sweet dad and granddad as a MBC Primetime member. Loved reminiscing about my mom having heard Glenn Miller (now play him for my granddaughter). Doc said he had the good fortune to meet him at Duke and sat in with Les Brown. What a joy our Christmas banquets were with Doc and his band playing. I remember his last concerned "don't eat too much at a potluck" was such a sweet one of concern. Can't wait to hear him play on that heavenly shore. Praying for...

I will miss my dear friend and talented musical colleague. Blessings to the family.

My condolences to the Dikeman family for the loss of your dear loved one. May visits from family and friends comfort you. May prayers to the God of all comfort strengthen and sustain you during your grieving process.

I was deeply saddened to learn of Doc's passing. He directed our jazz lab at JEB Stuart High School in 1971-72 and took a personal interest in developing my sax playing, even inviting me to sit in occasionally with his own Ambassadors jazz group. He was a kind and generous man, and I really appreciated his tutoring. My deepest condolences to the family.
