 OBITUARY 
On Saturday, September 26, 2009, Mr. Willie Theo Dickerson, Jr. went home to be with our Lord Jesus. Willie was born August 7, 1946 in Augusta, Georgia to Inez Johnson Dickerson and Willie Theo Dickerson. Willie (affectionately known as "Sug") was a life-long resident of Augusta, Georgia and a 1964 graduate of Lucy C. Laney High School. He graduated from Augusta Technical College with an associate degree. Willie retired in 2004 with over 40 years of service from International Paper Company (formerly Federal Paperboard and Continental Can Company). 
Willie was saved at an early age, baptized and joined the Second Ebenezer Baptist Church. He was a member of the Union Sons and Daughters Society. In later years, he worshiped at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah Witnesses. In 1966, Willie married his high school sweetheart Betty Jeannette Smith. They have two sons, William Theodore Dickerson, Thomas Preston Dickerson and a daughter, Monica Martha Inez Dickerson. 
Willie was a people person. He loved everyone. He never forgot a face or a name. Willie enjoyed drawing, painting and making people happy. He was a good husband, father and friend to all that met him. He was a generous man with a passion for helping others. Willie will be missed. He was preceded in death by his father. Willie leaves to cherish his memories: a devoted wife, Betty Jeannette Dickerson; sons William T. (Joshlen) Dickerson and Thomas Preston Dickerson; daughters Monica M. Dickerson and Christine Gibbs; a loving mother, Mrs. Inez Dickerson Burch; sisters Betty A. (Luther) Belcher, Pamelia J. (Ernest) Bowman; brother Edward R. Adams, Esq.; grandchildren; Keona Dickerson, Breanna Dickerson, Kennedy Dickerson, Dario Howard, Christopher Corey Gibbs and Paliek Gibbs; aunts Sadie Bell Dickerson, Annie E.

The Final Flight D on't grieve fo r me; fo r now I'm free. I'm follow in g the path God laid fo r me. I took His hand when 1heard His call; I turned my back and le ft it a ll I could n ot stay another day, to laugh, to love, to work, to play. Tasks left undone must stay that way. I've found that peace at the end o f the day. I f my parting has left a void, then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, ah, yes, these things too 1 will miss. 
Be n ot burdened with times o f sorrow, I wish you the sunshine o f tom orrow. M y life's been fu ll I savored mm ft* good friends, good times, and a loved one's touch. Perhaps my tim e seemed all too brief; don't lengthen it now with undue grief. L ift up your heart and share with me. God wanted me now, He set me free. Author unknown. 
Acknow ledgem ents The family o f Mr. W illie Theo Dickerson Jr. wishes to acknowledge with deep appreciation the many expressions o f love, comfort, concern and kindness shown to them during this time o f bereavement. May our G od bless and keep you.
