Not sure what to say?

I worked in the lab at Medical City Dallas 1975 to 1978 and Dr Dickey was the first Dr or Pathologist that ever supported me or gave this lowly lab boy Medical Technologist a pat on the back and quickly became a hero of mine. He defined respectability and led the way for improvement at the new hospital by "counseling" staff physicians on their mistakes and ways to improve treatment. Dr Dickey will be missed

I was granted Title of Med.tech by Dr. Dickey In 1973, just found of his passing 6-26-2020. He was a caring spirit and vessel. I will remember always with the fondest of memories

May your hearts be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times that you shared together. May our loving Heavenly Father provide you with the comfort and support that you need during this difficult time. (Psalm 145:18, 19) My thoughts and heartfelt condolences goes out to the family.

May you find comfort in knowing he made a great impact on many lives.

Hi, Amy -
I saw your dad's photo in the Dallas Morning News, and my memories rushed back to 1985, when you were in my 6th grade class. I remember your dad as a kind, warm, level-headed fellow who just seemed comfortable in his own skin and who realized that he had wonderful kids. I am thinking about you and your family and wishing you peace,

Tom was the heart and soul (and brain and conscience) of Irving Community Hospital (aka Baylor Irving) for 40+ years. His leadership will be forever missed. Joe Dickerson,MD

During our residency program Tom's humor and humility encouraged my group of urology trainees at SWMC to pass the patholgy section of the board exams. That same interest in others made its mark thoughout his life.

My sincere condolences to you. May the God of peace and comfort be with your family during this difficult time.
