Dickerson, 101 MILFORD - John Dickerson passed away peacefully on Thursday, November 13, 2014 at Delaware Hospice in Milford. He was 101. He was born in Greenwood on December 7, 1912, son of the late Edgar and Ida (Watson) Dickerson. Jack was a proud veteran of the United States Army serving his country during World War II. Mr. Dickerson was a multi-talented man whose work ethics, integrity, and dedication to the job at hand earned him great respect and many titles over the years; mechanic, farmer, field manager and lastly as a pipe fitter for General Foods in Dover from where he retired in 1978 after 13 years with the company. His greatest loyalty was to his family and he was a shining example of a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather. Jack will be dearly missed by them all. While stationed in the military, Jack became a member of the Masonic Lodge of Charleston, S.C., and was recently honored as the longest standing member of the lodge. He was also a member of the Avenue United Methodist Church in Milford where he was active for many years.
