Paul E. Dickison, 63, Falmouth
Paul E. Dickison, 63, of Falmouth, Ky.,
passed away on Monday, December 18, 2006 at
the Christ Hospital in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Born on January 27, 1943 in Harrison County,
Ky., he was the son of Mildred Catron
Dickison and the late Jack Dickison.
He was a retired manager for AT&T, a member
and deacon at Richland Baptist Church in
Pendleton County, and a member of the United
States Air Force. He was actively serving as
a magistrate for Pendleton County Fiscal
Court, and was just elected to another term.
He graduated from Pendleton County High
School in 1961 and attended Eastern Kentucky
University. He was active in the martial
arts. A fellow employee from AT&T has
donated several acres in Northern Pendleton
County and established the Paul E. Dickison
Nature Trail.
"Paul was one of the most cooperative and
most intelligent people I have ever worked
with," added Pendleton Judge/ Executive
Henry Bertram. "He would stop in the office
about everyday and I would use him as a
sounding board. I'm sure going to miss him."
Politics was no stranger to Paul, his
father, the late Jack Dickison was a former
Pendleton County judge.
The family owned and operated a gas station,
Via 27 Service Center, just south of
Falmouth on Highway 27, for many years. So
Paul grew up puttering around in the garage.
Fellow classmate and long time friend Roger
Anderson recounts Paul's younger years. "He
was a person that had many capabilities.
Anything he read, he could do," he said.
"In his teenage years, he was into drag
racing and he rebuilt his own car motors,"
recounts Anderson. "He has helped me at the
garage with projects that I've had over the
years."
Paul had his machine shop next to Anderson's
Equipment. "He would go there and tinker
around with old machines such as lathes,
etc. that he would buy and rebuild or other
things such as rebuilding one of his
airplane motors."
He was a long time member of the
Falmouth/Pendleton County Airport Board. "He
helped and tried to do anything he could
anywhere for the betterment of the
community," said fellow friend and pilot
Paul Tuemler. "He loved to fly his plane. In
fact, he went up with me a couple of weeks
ago."
He dedicated himself to the Falmouth Rotary
Club as he did with anything he undertook.
Paul served as Assistant District Governor
for Rotary. He served multiple terms as
Falmouth Rotary President, International
Club Chairman and a Paul Harris Fellow. He
went to Honduras as part of Rotary
International to help the people there.
Besides working diligently in the Falmouth
Rotary Club Paul was best known for his
famous spaghetti and sauce he was in charge
of at the annual Falmouth Rotary Club
Spaghetti Supper.
"Paul Dickison, What manner of man was he?
Intelligent. Articulate. Poised.
Multilingual. Pilot. Served his nation as an
intelligence officer. Served his county as a
magistrate for four years and was re-elected
without opposition," said fellow Rotarian
Owen Collins. "Paul could move with aplomb
among the dignitaries in state government
and felt just as comfortable, if not more
so, with the common man on the streets of
Falmouth, bringing to mind Kipling's 'If you
can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings---nor lose the common
touch.'"
Paul will be sadly missed by his family,
friends, county government, fellow Rotarians
and the community he served with pride.
"He will never be forgotten for he has left
behind many things that he accomplished for
his community," said Falmouth Outlook Editor
Debbie Dennie.
He is survived by his mother, Mildred
Dickison of Falmouth; and a sister, Barbara
Dickison Storer of Falmouth.
Funeral services were conducted on Friday,
December 22 at Woodhead Funeral Home in
Falmouth with Richard Kendall officiating.
Serving as honorary pallbearers will be
Roger Anderson, Henry Bertram the Pendleton
County Judge Executive, members of the
Fiscal Court, and officers and members of
the Falmouth Rotary Club. A military tribute
will be conducted by the Hardin-Browning
Post #109. Interment will take place in the
Riverside Cemetery, Falmouth.
