From the September28, 2020, Port City Daily.
Mr. Dickson died at home on Thursday, September 24.
He was born in 1940 in Schenectady, New York and served in the U.S. Navy between1958 to 1960. After a 30-year career, he retired to Wilmington, North Carolina, as he had been going there on vacation for many years.
Most importantly to me, anyway, was his time devoted to Fort Fisher where he gave over 2,000 hours and was chosen Volunteer of the Year in 2008 and 2011.
Being able to volunteer at Fort Fisher for as many hours as Mr. Dickson would be a dream for me. This fort is very special to my life.
Upon further thought, the obituary might have been referring to the North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher as it says in lieu of flowers to make donations to that place. But, that is built inside the former Fort Fisher, so either way.
He was a Fort Fisher guy.
Thanks.
