Mr. Dickerson will be truly missed. He had a way of making one feel comfortable in his presence, and was about the sharpest man I ever met. I am truly sorry to hear of his passing.

Linda, Caleb, Colin and Callie,

Our prays and thoughts are with you. I was remembering the years we were neighbors and the times we were at the same events socially or for our kids. Steve and I played basketball at Cedar Creek until we got too beat up (old). I know you have a hole in your heart right now, but know you will see him again. Let us know how we can help.

God Bless You All,

John, Sara, and Kenzie Yost
