Condolence: Del Dickson was a physician's physician - serving his colleagues with incredible expertise, mild-mannered grace, and that wonderful warm smile. He was a mentor and inspiration to me in my training and staff career at Cottage Hospital. I will miss him.

John Michal, M.D.

Condolence: I had the pleasure of knowing "Doc" Dickson. He was truly a kind, caring and compassionate man. I remember working on his house on the Riviera for the CALM benefit. He also had a great sense of humor. During that time I had a BB gun and would bag a few quail for the grill. Unfortunately my aim wasn't always that great. "Doc" asked me to limit my shooting because when he made orange juice the BB'S made hell with the juicer ! He was a true gentleman. My thoughts and prayers to you all. James.......
My condolences to the family and my thoughts and prayers are with you as well. May the wonderful memories fill your hearts during this difficult time. Annelie

Condolence: Del, it is hard to believe you have been gone from us for over a month now. It feels like forever and nothing at once. You were and always will be our everything. We love you and miss you ... oceans and oceans.

Condolence: Happy Fathers Day Dad.
You were and always will be larger than life.
Thank you for everything.
We all love you and miss you profoundly.

Condolence: I was privileged to be trusted as Dr. D's CPA for many years. He was always good natured, organized, and astute. His colleagues respected him for these and other qualities and he is greatly missed by all who had the good fortune to have known him.

Condolence: Grandpa Del, you will most definitely be missed.
My most vivid memories of us come from my childhood. Even as a child, Grandpa Del's presence was impressive and inspiring, and even a little intimidating. But his love for his family and friends was always known. He worked hard to give hard.
I feel our most recent conversation was the best we had, honest and loving. I will cherish that always.
My thoughts are with all of you as we celebrate Grandpa Del's life.

Condolence: I liked Del. I saw in him the energy and strength that the world demands and then reveres. He accepted me into his circle. I send my condolences to Susie, Phyllis, Pamela, Deb, Dan and Brian. They have lost a person of great effect. We can all share our “stories of Del”, and be the better for it.

Condolence: Del Dickson was a very unique and special person. He was always the tallest, strongest, and most informed person in any gathering. Everywhere he went, Del was the person that people sought out for advice. People came to Del for all kinds of information and they sought his opinion on a wide range of topics - from medicine to gardening. Del worked hard for everything that he had but he was extremely generous and willing to help others. Being Del's oldest daughter was an honor and a privilege. We will all miss him SO MUCH but he will live on in our hearts and memories.

Condolence: I will always remember my Dad as he can be seen in a old black and white Brownie photo from the '50s. In the photo he his holding a tiny litter of squirming and really cute weiner puppies. But it is the happy and proud grin on his face that I will cherish in my memory forever. It is my hope and prayer that is the way he feels today and forevermore.
