Our sincere condolances to Jim's family. Jim would come in to our Father's store on a regular basis and he was always pleasant and kind.

CONDOLENCES
Our condolences to the family of Jim Dixon. He was a very good friend who left me with many great memories. Our long talks that we've had over the years, especially after I moved to Texas, were very uplifting and helpful to us both. He was the kind of friend who kept in touch with me in spite of the distance. Paula and I will forever treasure the love and friendship that he and Connie has shown us. We will keep the family uplifted in prayer.

A Fine Man
I am sorry to read of Mr. Dixon‘s passing. I remember him from my days as a solicitor for Parkesburg Borough. He had a fantastic smile, a great handshake, and was a true friend to everyone who knew him. He was the kind of man that lit up a room when he entered. Everyone was his friend.
Rest in peace, Mr. Dixion. Your memory will last forever.
