Theodore Nickerson Obituary
Formerly of Cotuit, he retired from the Barnstable Police Department as a sergeant after 32 ½ years on the force. He was a prosecuting officer for the police department at the 1st District Court.
He was past exalted ruler and life member of the Hyannis Lodge of Elks, and a member of the American Legion in Naples. He was also an avid boater and fisherman.
Ted will be dearly missed by his devoted family, including his loving wife of 52 years, Gail (Brightman) Nickerson; children, Cheryl (John) Robbins, Terri (Michael) Jones, and Mark (Annemarie) Nickerson; grandchildren, Jef, Courtney, Michael, Kenny, Andrea, Marissa, Nathan, Billy and Nicholas; and great-granddaughter, Brynn Marie.
A graveside service will be held in Mosswood Cemetery, Putnam Avenue, Cotuit, on Monday, Sept. 3, at 11 a.m.
In lieu of flowers, memorials in Ted's name may be made to the charity of one's choice.

Dear Gail and Family,
I was saddened to receive the call from one of our brothers at BPD telling of Ted's passing. It seems like only yesterday that the two of you first visited Naples! I've been living in Maine for six years now but stay in touch with many Cape friends. My memories of Ted are filled with his dry wit, his ever-present sense of humor and his laughter....My thoughts and prayers are with you. Ted will be missed....
