Benjamin Dickerson Obituary

Alice,

I look forward to seeing Ben in Heaven. You will be in my prayers.

I fondly remember the group dinners and church camping/fishing trips.

Dear Alice & Ben's wonderful family,
I remember working with Ben & Alice when I was in my early 20's, back in the CME days. I was learning to be a customer service person & secretary. Ben & Alice were always so patient with me! It was such a rewarding and joyful place to work, with people like the Dickersons, and with my parents, the Walthers. I met so many wonderful people through this Christian non-profit organization. The office setting was so beautiful and peaceful- just like Ben Dickerson. Something I will always remember is that Ben's eyes were bright, sparkling, happy, and they showed true joy in them. Gentle Ben is so befitting. Alice always smiled, too, and I will always appreciate the support and friendship that they have shown our family. During a crisis in my first marriage, Ben & Alice were so very supportive. I am also grateful for the strength that Alice and Ben showed as a couple--a testimony in today's society! I know that those final days together must have been so hard for the family, and I really care.
With genuine sympathy and loving concern,
E. Jane "EJ" Walther Booth & Charles Arthur Booth (Children - Stacia 22; Trenton 17; Emily 15; Sasha 7).

Hello, Ben joined our group, Pikes Peak Sales Professionals, right before his heart attack. We feel badly that we never had a chance to get to know him well. Our most sincere condolences to his family and friends!

Thank you Ben for being such a good frient over the years (about 47 I think). God bless your family as they rest in His promises.

Although I only knew Mr Dickerson as a child, I will always remember how nice he was and how dedicated he was to his family and friends. I remember one thing specifically. When he was an executive at CME, he took on a project to send out a several page pamphlet to some 10,000 plus people. I remember him saying, after being up all night two nights in a row, that 10,000 doesnt seem like a lot until you try it. I also said to him 'I bet a nap sounds pretty good right now' He laughed and said, you know, im so tired that a shower sounds better!' My thoughts and prayers go out to you. We will all see him again when the time comes.

Alice,

God put together a wonderful team in you and Ben and has used you both to "change lives" for Him. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family as you celebrate Ben's "Graduation" and the joy of his life with you.

Love,

Rocky & Sherrie Forshey

You have all been in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. The obituary is a very well written tribute and summary of Ben's life and his ultimate desire to know Christ and make Him known.

We wish we could be with you at this time but know that our love and prayers are coming to you.

We praise God for the years we were privileged to work daily with Ben and Alice in service to couples and families for Our Lord, Jesus Christ. Ben's love was very deep--for his Lord, his life's partner and best friend Alice, his family and his friends. His Christ-like compassion seemed boundless. He always saw the best in others. At times quiet and pensive, he was always thinking ahead as to how he next could reach out to someone who was hurting. Ben was ever a bright spot in our day. His creative sense of humor brought smiles and joy even in trying times. We are so much richer in spirit for having been blessed to know, love, and work with this dear brother so full of compassion, wisdom, loyalty, and deep caring.

There has never been a man like your husband/father. He was the closest man I have ever seen to what the Bible says about Jesus. You were truly blessed! My favorite memory of Ben was the time we all went camping and your dad took everyone on a motorcyle ride. I was terrified of motorcycles and never went. After Ben put everything away and we were ready to leave, I jokingly said "oh and I was just about ready to take a ride" (I wasn't!!) And Ben took the bike out and said let's go. Now Ben was my pastor, a man and a special friend... where in the world do you hold on?? We took over very slowly - thank you Ben - and got stuck in the creek. Gentle Ben -- He was a treasure here and I will along with you miss him terribly. Blessings to each one of you, Anita
