Carl DICKERSON Obituary
On Friday, June 10, 2022, Carl Robert (Bob) Dickerson passed away at the age of 92 in Houston, TX, but was a life long resident of Trenton and Middletown, Ohio. Bob was born on April 22, 1930, to Bessie Grow Dickerson and Arthur Dickerson in Chillicothe, Ohio. He served in the Army in Germany during the Korean War. Bob married Hazel Burton on July 4, 1954. Most of his working life was spent in the shoe business and at Sheffer Corporation. He married Jean Brewer in 1982. He was a lifelong member of the Community of Christ church.
Bob was a people person—loved to talk, joke, and play Spades. He was the garage sale king. He could re-sell anything in his front yard, especially used bikes, walkers and portable toilets. He loved a good deal and never paid full price for milk, pop, or toilet paper. One of his favorite memories was playing by the Scioto River in Chillicothe as a child.
Bob was preceded in death by wives Hazel and Jean, his daughter Joy, step-daughter Tammy, and ten brothers and sisters. He is survived by his daughters Robin Dickerson, Judy Graybill (Craig) and Kathy Bradbury (Phillip), nine grandchildren, several great-grandchildren, and close friends, the Patricks.
A memorial service will be held on Saturday, July 23, 11:00 A.M. at the Community of Christ Church, 2424 S. Sutphin St., Middletown, OH 45044. A luncheon will follow provided by his friends at Community of Christ.
Donations may be made to Camp Bountiful, a ministry connected to Community of Christ (www.campbountiful.org).

We were neighbors of Bob and Jean years ago in Trenton. We dearly loved them. Bob was a great guy, loved his family and truly enjoyed talking to people. He will be greatly missed! Our sincere condolences to his family.

I have such fond memories of Mr. Dickerson... I have known him for the last 10 years or so. He was tough at first (letting me know that he liked the girls at the Trenton Bank better) until he got to know us at Elliott Drive. He liked to talk about his family and church. He loved raisin pie prepared in the Amish country. He also liked shopping at Kroger. He was really a kind person. I am going to miss my buddy. Asking for the Lord to comfort the family during this time.
