Dr Dicus was my orthopedic surgeon. He gave me advice about many things in life that I am very thankful for. As my joints continue to fail, I remember the advice and it has saved me many problems

I am sorry to have missed giving you all condolences but I wanted to say that Bill (and Jane , and the children) , will always remain in my heart, however distant our lives have become. In my faith it is said; "may his memory be for a blessing", and I know that it is.

Dear Jane and family,
My sincere prayers and sympathy for you at this time. I know that Bill will be missed by all but there is great comfort in knowing that he is in our Father's care. I have great joy in that and in also being able to partner with you both in the usher ministry and getting to know you more. God be with you all.

Bill was my hip doctor and a great friend who took me one day on a flight doing aerobatics which I will never forget.
So sorry for the loss. Much to soon.

Jane and Family,
Bill was not only my go to Orthopedic Doctor, he was a dear friend for 20 years at our Wednesday morning Bible Study. Stunned and shocked to say the least upon hearing of his sudden death.
Compassionate, caring, insightful and knowledgeable are just a few of the traits that Bill possessed. His laughter and sense of humor I will always treasure. The memories are many and our loss is great.
He treated both Carol and I medically for our many athletic injuries and provided outstanding counsel and referrals. We will miss him and treasure the memories we shared.
We will pray for you and your family for comfort and peace as you deal with this loss.
Love to all of your family and friends of Bill's.

Dear Jane, Megan, Andy and Carolyn,
I will always have fond memories of Dr. Dicus, from growing up next door. He was one of the especially kind grownups I knew, that also seemed like a bit of a kid himself he was fun and funny. I also remember listening to him play the piano with gusto, especially ragtime music. He played those songs loud and fast, it was impressive to my ear and delightful to dance to as a little kid.
I have warm memories of all of you from those days, you were such wonderful and supportive friends to our family.
I'm so sorry for your loss, for all of our loss. I know you will miss Bill, your dad, so much. I wish I could be there to celebrate him with you. I'm sending you lots of love.
Rita, Dennis Dern

Dear Jane, Carolyn, Meg, Andy and Grandchildren,
Our hearts are deeply saddened to hear of Bill's passing. What a void he is leaving this side of Heaven. We are so very sorry. We fondly remember Bill as a devoted family man, a lover of Jesus, a thoughtful friend and caring doctor. We hold onto beautiful memories of gatherings at your home and ours. May God grant each of you peace and strength as He comforts your hearts. You have our love for eternity. Dennis and Rita Dern

I'm so sad to hear of his passing. I worked with him for years at Columbia hospital. He was a kind sweet man. I will never forget that twinkle in his eyes when he was teasing patients or staff.

Dear Jane and family,
My sincere sympathies and prayers go out to you all. Dr. Dicus was the kindest, most caring physician I have known. I loved working with his patients back in the good 'ol days at Columbia Hospital, and also hearing him speak of his airplanes and stunt flying! Quite a man! God's blessings to you during this difficult time.
Sincerely,
Michelle Prudlow, PT

I worked with Bill for many years at Columbia. Not only was he an excellent physician, he supported those who partnered with him to provide care for his patients. He was always interesting to talk to and had a great sense of humor. Condolences to Jane and his family.

Bill was first introduced to me by BettyJo Cassidy. He has been a great friend and just a pleasure to talk to every time I see him. A kind and gentle man and that will be repeated by others many times. Love family and life and always more interested in others life rather then his own. My best wishes to all of his family and friends and especially Jane. Bill is a terrible loss to anyone who may have known.

I babysat for Dr. and Mrs. Dicus when Megan was just a baby. I lived a few houses down the street on Newhall in WFB and Dr. Dicus always insisted on walking me home to make sure I would arrive safely. I credit both Bill and Jane with steering me into my nursing career which lasted 35 years. They always had medical journals for me to read and always spoke to me about medicine. I have no idea what compelled me to look up the Dicus family tonight after 40 plus years but when I "Googled" William Dicus name I saw that he had passed away a few days ago. I am so sorry for your loss. Please accept my sympathies.

Bill was a wonderful man. He was a superb doctor and a great guy. I feel privileged to have been associated with him at Columbia Hospital. I loved his upbeat personality and his wit. I wish I could have flown with him in one of his old style planes.

Jane & Family,
Condolences for your loss. His clinic days at Blount on St. Paul were among my favorite, as Dr. Dicus was a joy to work for; rarely did you see him without a smile on his face and a warm "hello." I always enjoyed discussing both orthopedics and aviation with him, and I particularly remember the joy he exhibited while showing off his RV-8 while he was still constructing it. He will be missed and remembered with great fondness.

It was a privilege to know him & work for him at the Blount Clinic - Mequon Office.
You are all in our thoughts & prayers.
