David Charles Dickey, 68, died at his home in Stanardsville on Tuesday, November 24, 2009, after a long struggle with lung disease., He was born on March 11, 1941, in Detroit, Michigan, the eldest son of John Wakeman Dickey and Patricia Hope Dickey, and was followed by John Michael Dickey in 1942., The family lived in Detroit, Pony Hollow, New York, Ridgewood, New Jersey, and Pine Glenn, Pennsylvania, before moving to Greenway Cottage in Esmont, Virginia, in 1960. He was particularly proud of making Eagle Scout and of founding with his brother the Rocky and Bullwinkle Fan Club as a teenager., He graduated in 1959 from The Hill School in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, also the alma mater of his brother and his son. At The Hill School he developed a passion for wrestling, a belief in broad, classical education, and a love of victimless pranks. After several years studying engineering and competing as a wrestler at the University of Michigan, he worked as a court reporter and taught himself ancient Greek in Charlottesville. He then enrolled at St. John's College in Annapolis, Maryland. St. John's was an idyllic immersion into the great classics of western civilization that solidified his deep convictions about justice and freedom, and he responded by matriculating at the University of Virginia School of Law., In 1970, he opened a solo practice in Stanardsville, which he continued until his retirement in 2009, serving as Commonwealth Attorney for the County of Greene from 1972 until 1984. His calling as a lawyer came to define his life, and he enjoyed nothing more than fighting for his clients in the courtroom. He loved learning, philosophy, local and national politics, University of Michigan football, and culture. He delighted in his Scottish heritage, science fiction, making omelets, hiking, the ocean, and games of skill. He was especially devoted to chess, working on gambits, spending long evenings at the chess table with visitors, and sharing his love of the game with his children and grandchildren. His long commitment to the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and its branches yielded among other honors the title of Past Grand Master of the State of Virginia., He is survived by his former wife, Julia D. Dickey of Stanardsville and their four children, Thomas Edward Dickey of Richmond, Anne Winston Dickey and partner, Laura Hartman of Rock Island, Illinois, Sarah Kathleen Dickey of Stanardsville, and Rachel Perry Holderied and her husband, Anthony, of Lumberton, North Carolina; his brother, John Michael Dickey and his wife, Claire, of Elizabethtown, North Carolina; a grandson, Jackson Reese Wakeman Dickey of Richmond; and two granddaughters, Alder Elizabeth Dickey of Richmond and Avery Jordan Holderied of Lumberton., He followed his father and mother John and Patricia Dickey of Stanardsville in death., A graveside service will be held at the Stanardsville Cemetery 1 p.m. Saturday, November 28, 2009, with Grace Cangialosi., Memorial contributions may be made to Hospice of the Piedmont, 675 Peter Jefferson Parkway, Suite 300, Charlottesville, VA 22911. |

Louis Arthur King Louis Arthur King, age 94, passed away on Sunday morning, Nov. 1, 2009, at Wellmont Bristol Regional Medical Center. He was born Jan. 1, 1915, in Bristol Tennessee, to the late Arthur and Geneva King. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his wife, Elizabeth H. "Libby" King, on Dec. 1, 2004, following 60 wonderful years of marriage. He was also preceded in death by his sister, Katherine King Adamson. Mr. King was a lifelong member of First Presbyterian Church where he was an elder emeritus, and was a member of the Bristol Rotary Club for over 40 years. During his professional career spanning a period of 45 years, Louis King, PE, distinguished himself as an inventor, an educator, a broadcast consultant, and a corporate entrepreneur in the field of radio broadcast antenna systems. Following graduation with a BSEE from the University of Tennessee at Knoxville in 1938 and MSEE from the University of Missouri in 1940, he taught electrical engineering at Clemson College in Greenville, S.C., where he developed the radio engineering curriculum, which later formed the foundation for the communications courses presently offered at what is now Clemson University. In 1945, he was hired by the Radio Corporation of America in Camden, N.J., as a radio transmitter design engineer where he received five patents. In 1949, he returned to Bristol at which time he obtained a PE license in Tennessee and Virginia and set up operations in his father, Arthur's, office space on Shelby Street as a broadcast consulting engineer. In the early 1950's, he started manufacturing radio broadcast equipment while continuing his consulting practice. The manufacturing business was later named Kintronic Laboratories and was incorporated in 1984. Under the guiding vision of Mr. King empowered by the grace and mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, Kintronic Labs grew to be a world leader with products in over 100 countries. As a result of his many contributions to radio broadcasting, Mr. King was recognized by the National Association of Broadcasters in 2007 as the recipient of the NAB Lifetime Radio Engineering Achievement Award. Later that same year, King College honored Mr. King with an honorary Doctor of Laws Degree at their first winter commencement. In 2008, the National Religious Broadcasters presented Mr. King with their first Impact Award recognizing Mr. King's behind-the-scenes support of Christian radio around the world. Mr. King is survived by: his daughter, Marla King Black and husband William Black III, of Dandridge, Tenn.; and grandsons, William "Scotty" Black IV of Dandridge and Monty Black and his wife Tyler; and great-grandson, Mason of Alexandria, Va.; his son, Tom F.

Born July 15, 1923, Bishop Willie J. Hilton is the eldest child of the late James and Betty Hilton. He was preceded in death by Icebell Chamberlin, Alvin Hilton, Charles Hilton, Pastor Anna Sorey, and Levi Hilton., His surviving siblings are Dorothy Boatwright (Wilbert), Elake Hilton (Odessa), Bishop James E. Hilton (Molly), Thomas Hilton, Frank Hilton, and Florence Hilton. Mrs. Searlean E. Hilton, his dear wife, also precedes him in death., He received his early education from the North Carolina School System. He earned a Certificate of Achievement from Norfolk State College; Bachelor of Theology Degree from United Christian College; Master of Divinity from Rhema Seminary; Doctorate of Divinity Degree from United Christian College; and Doctor of Humanities from Eastern North Carolina Theological Institute., In 1942, Bishop Hilton enlisted in the United States Army, departing for service from Newport News, Va. He was a decorated soldier, who served our country with distinction during World War II. In 1946, he received an honorable discharge for dedicated and true service. On Nov. 11, 1994, as a committee member of the Black War Memorial Museum, Bishop Hilton and other distinguished soldiers dedicated the black gallery as a beacon to promote and enlighten others on the history of blacks who served in the United States Armed Forces., While serving his country, there came the greater call for service to God and His people. Answering the call of God, Bishop Hilton began his ministry at Zion Baptist Church, where he was ordained as Deacon under the leadership of the late Dr. S. S. Sutton. He preached his initial sermon and was ordained under the leadership of Dr. L. T. Daye. In 1973, Bishop Hilton was called to Pastor Calvary United Church of Christ. Under his administration, the church's name was changed to Calvary Community Baptist Church. After seven and a half years of dedicated service, Bishop Hilton left Calvary to do evangelistic work. Being a loyal and obedient servant to God, on April 17, 1982, Bishop Hilton founded and organized Friendship Baptist Church in his home with 13 members. As the church family grew, Bishop Hilton received the vision and heard the voice of God saying, "Build my church." It was the gift of his profession, as a master brick mason, that Bishop Hilton so skillfully built the beautiful edifice of Friendship Baptist Church. It stands today as a monument of his love and glory to God., Bishop Hilton's work spanned far beyond the church walls. He was a partner with the Newport News Police Department; a graduate of the Newport News Senior Citizen's Police Academy; graduate of the Citizen's Police Academy; crime line member; volunteer at Patrick Henry Mall; and Police Chaplain. He served on the Board of the Office of Human Affairs. He was a supporting Pastor of the "One Church, One Child.", Bishop Hilton is the father to the late Louise McDaniel (Willie), Deacon William Hilton (Barbara), Deacon Wilbert Hilton (Danielle), and the Rev. Dr. Beverly Ashburn (Delton). Left to cherish his memory are grandchildren, Phyllis Hicks (Ronald), Willie Mae Robinson (James), Timothy McDaniel, Stephanie Terrell (Robert), Jason McDaniel, Clayton McDaniel (Cynthia), Moses Alexander McDaniel, Tonya Boyd, Keisha Boyd, Shawn Saunders, Krista Hilton, Kheia Hilton, Mark Hilton, Pauline Foster, Erica Milford, Najla Samuel, and Raida Hilton. He leaves the PaPa crew of Asabi, Amir, Yasir; a host of great-grandchildren, great great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins, church family, and friends, all whom will miss him dearly., Bishop Hilton will lie in state on Friday, Nov. 27, 2009 at noon; the Christian Wake will follow at 7 p.m., at Friendship Baptist Church., The Homegoing Celebration will be held Saturday, Nov. 28, 2009, at noon at Friendship Baptist Church. Bishop James E. Hilton will be conducting the eulogy. The interment will be held at Hampton Memorial Gardens. The repast will be held at Friendship Baptist Church following the interment., The family wishes to thank the Friendship Baptist Church family; the health staff of Riverside Regional Medical Center; Dr. Mark Clark, Dr. Brian Baines, and Dr. David Conito, for their outstanding care., In the book, "To Life," Stories of Courage and Survival, "The Promise …" When the Great One saw that there were still honorable men and women trying to do the right thing, to teach justice and liberty and honor, He paused… He said …. I see, my little Angel, you are right. There are people who still care, who have honor and who fight injustice. I will refrain from my destruction as long as I see ONE "Just Man" on Earth, still working for the good of all. I will honor man, if he will honor Me by continuing to fight for all of humanity." Bishop Willie J. Hilton departs this earth as one of the "Just Men." |
