I was a young Coach with Emmy at Melrose HS. Everyday I learned, laughed and became better as a person because of him! I always have great memories of my time with him!

Coach Dickie was the best Coach to introduce young freshmen to College Football.
He was always calm and clear and patient with young players being introduced to College Football and that really helped. He had played football at BC for my Father and he was very patient with me.
I wish his family All the very best enduring this Loss.
