Joanne: I am so sorry for your loss. I just learned of Ron's passing. You may remember I coached with Ron at AMS in the late 80's, and my wife taught at Kerr for a year or two with Ron. He was a special person. I liked him very much, and the kids all loved him. My sympathy goes out to you.
So much love and sympathy for you, Joanne and Taylor. You were long time wonderful neighbors. We have missed you. We wish you peace and God's tender mercies in your life. We wish we could have known at the time of Ron's passing. God bless you all.
I am sorry to hear of Ron's death. I was a roommate of his at Brockport Sate for a year. Everything that was said about him in his obituary, and in the previously submitted condolences, are all true. Ron was a truly exceptional human being, and will be missed.
I attended Alief Middle School from 1990-1993 and remember Coach Dickey well. He was one of the few educators that left a lasting impression. I am saddened to read that he has left us. Many prayers to his family and friends as you heal during this time.
Everything in the obituary is true. He made everyone he came in contact with feel special and important. I was with him every morning for a year & loved every single minute with him. He always made me laugh & was the most down to earth person. You will be truly missed, Coach Dickey!!
This news saddens me deeply. Coach Dickey is someone who continues to pop up in my mind to this day, periodically and for no particular reason other than to remember his kindness fondly. I remember very vividly being in Health class when I was a freshman and dealing with some hard feelings. I started to cry and decided to crawl under the table to hide, because I was embarrassed. Instead of getting upset with me for crawling under the table in the middle of class he crawled under the table with me and comforted me. His kindness that day and every day until I graduated will never be forgotten. I send love and condolences to his family. Your person made a huge impact in my life and I’m sure many others. I am a better person for knowing him and I hope that can provide just a sliver of comfort at this time. Love and blessings to you all.
Coach Dickey was with me throughout my years in Kerr High School. He was a massive inspiration to me, my future and a huge influence in the man I was to be. Always caring, appreciative, and understanding, there was never a dull moment with him around. His talent was to bring inspiration to the uninspired, even if it was a small gesture like a smile. A smile at the right moment can change the tide of the day, week and month. I always looked forward to seeing his big smile; it was contagious and will forever embedded in my minds eye every time I think of him. Condolences to his family and close friends, he will be truly missed.
Coach Dickey was a great man. Even decades later, I'll never forget how he encouraged me to take my rightful place in a basketball game when the boys tried to crowd me out. Teaching wasn't just a job to him. He genuinely cared about us students and I'll always remember him for that. I'm so sorry for his loss. Thoughts and prayers are with his family.
Rest in peace
Love coach from AMS. My heartfelt condolences to the family.
God bless you Coach Dickey
