Just heard that Jim Dickey passed away yesterday morning.
Susan had gone to church or the store or out somewhere and came home and found him passed away.
He was 59.
I will always remember the "Big Dummy" as one of the nicest guys I have ever met in the bowling center.... always had a kind word for you... win or lose.... and his team was usually winning.
No word on services yet.

I met him at Meadowcreek and I don't think he ever had anything bad to say about any bowler, no matter what hand he used to throw the ball. Every time I saw him after that there was a kind word from him on how's it going are you bowling any good! A true gentleman bowling lost one of the good guys RIP " DUMMY"

My prayers are with the family.
