Obituary of Timothy R. Dickerson

Timothy Ryan Dickerson, 68, of the Town of Binghamton, New York passed away on March 10, 2022 at Delhi Rehab and Nursing Center after a long and courageous battle with Lewy Body Dementia and Multiple Myeloma. Tim was born in Johnson City. He graduated from Binghamton Central High School and went on to attend Broome Community College and Binghamton University. While spending summers at Oquaga Lake, he met Rosemary, whom he married and spent 44 incredible years. Tim worked for the D& H Railroad for 10 years. He loved the physical nature of the job and all the Railroaders. When an opportunity to purchase Mountain Top Grove came up he jumped at the chance. Tim and Rosey spent 30 years working side by side in the business with their children Leigh and Pat. He loved this job and it showed in the success that he had building and growing the business. Mountain Top View was added to accommodate the growing demand. Tim was a mentor in many ways to all who worked with him at Mountain Top, teaching them lifelong skills that propelled them in later careers. When illness struck, the business was purchased by their son Pat and daughter-in-law, Sarah, who carry on that tradition, a true family business. Tim was a member of the C&H Recreation Club. Hunting and Fishing were his passions outside of work. He was also a diehard Yankee and Giants fan. Taking family and friends to games was the most fun for him. Tim is survived by his wife, Rosey Dickerson and their children Leigh (Marc) Rivet, Patrick (Sarah) Dickerson and Grandchildren Cameron Dickerson, Taylor Dickerson, Ryan Dickerson, Rosemary Rivet and Anthony Rivet; his father -in- law John V. Cizauskas. Siblings JoAnne Hugaboom, James (Sue) Dickerson, Thomas Dickerson, Mathew (Liz) Dickerson, Paul (Monique) Dickerson. Sister-in-law Maureen Myrick (James Armstrong) and Brother -in -law John F. Cizauskas, and many Nieces and Nephews. Tim was predeceased by his parents Robert J. and Olga Dickerson, Mother -in-law Jeanne Moffitt Cizauskas, Brothers Brian Dickerson, Robert and Melanie Dickerson, Brother-in-law Gary Hugaboom ,Sister Sue Scott and Nieces Christine Dickerson and Sara Dickerson. The family would like to thank Bonnie Allen, our home aid, Dr. Mikloucich for your excellent care and all the phenomenal staff at the Delhi Rehab and Nursing Home for the care you gave Tim and our whole family during this difficult time. You all went above and beyond and it was truly appreciated In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the Alzheimer's Association or the American Cancer Association. His children and grandchildren meant the world to him. He loved teaching Pat all the ins and outs of hunting and fishing which is a tradition to be passed to the grandchildren and having family and friends visit in Florida created special memories. You could see the pride and contentment in his face watching Leigh and family playing on the beach even though he hated swimming in the ocean. Lining up for family photos, Tim was the one to start everyone dancing in a chorus line to the giggles of the grandkids. Tim was proud of his 10 point buck, putting him in the New York State Big Buck Club and his 91 inch Sailfish, both mounted prominently in his home. Funeral Services will be held at the J.A. McCormack Sons Funeral Home, 141 Main Street, Binghamton, Monday at 11 a.m. Father Kevin Miller, Pastor of St. Augustine's Church, Silver Lake, PA., will officiate. Entombment will be in Calvary Cemetery, Johnson City. The family will receive friends at the McCormack Funeral Home, Sunday from 2 to 5 p.m.
