Donald Davis Dickson (August 25, 1928 - December 31, 2012)  With heavy hearts, we are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Donald Davis Dickson, son of Merlyn and Julia, husband of Joann, father of Teri (Larry) Hankammer and grandfather of Meghan (Justin) Secrest.

Don and Joann are members of the First Congregational Church in Redlands.  They have been residents of Sun Lakes Country Club in Banning for 19 years.  Don was a member of the Masonic Order and a hospice volunteer for 14 years.  Don courageously battled cancer and it is his wish to help just one someone by donating his body to Loma Linda University Medical Center and is now known as a "Silent Teacher."  The family wishes to thank all of the wonderful, caring, and compassionate hospice people for their loving and special care they give to all of their patients.
