Samuel Bruce Dickson,
Renaissance man
Samuel Bruce Dickson, 69, of Angola Beach, returned to Our Heavenly Father Friday, May 5, 2006.
Born November 23, 1936, his journey honed and sharpened him to a true Renaissance man. A noted U.S. Marine, police officer and member of Masonic Lodge 775 Steelton-Swatara, Pa., Sam was respected as a leader as well as a contributor.
His creative skills were dedicated to 20-plus years of lead electrical service at the Community General Osteopathic Hospital in Harrisburg, Pa., to part-time electrician at his second home, American Legion Post 28 Oak Orchard/Riverdale.
A devoted member of The Church of the Latter Day Saints, he is now reunited with his son, Michael B. Dickson; father Fred B. Dickson; and mother, Evelyn P. Dickson.
Sam’s lifelong dream became a reality in 1995 when he moved to Angola Beach to tinker in his shop, boat as he pleased, take cruises and dance with his wife.
His memory is sustained by his sons, Timothy Dickson of Lewes, Christopher Dickson of Middletown, Pa., Robert Stalter Jr. of Reston, Va.; and his daughter, Cara Hinderer of Millsboro; but none more strongly that by his wife, dance partner, first mate and love of his life, Cynthia K. Dickson.
Services will be held at 11 a.m., Friday, May 19, at the Delaware Veterans Memorial cemetery , 100 Patriots Way, Millsboro. A luncheon will follow at American Legion Post 28, Route 24, east of Millsboro.

A consistently active member of Groome United Methodist Church of Lewes for the past half-century, Jack was honored in 2003 by a resolution of the Administrative Council upon completion of his lengthy service as chairman of the council. He sang in the church choir and enjoyed singing with Bill Earl’s Men’s Chorus. He was a 32nd-degree Mason and member of Jefferson Masonic Lodge 15 in Lewes.
Jack was predeceased in 2004 by his wife of 54 years, the former Helen Downs, and also by their daughter April Beauchamp, his twin brother Thomas and sisters Margaret Barbarita, Marie McMakin and Betty Chapman.
