NICKERSON, WILLIAM JAMES
1930-2016

This is our father. His name is Bill Nickerson. He died July 1, 2016, at age 86. We hope that he would say he had a good life. We think he did. He was with our mother for more than 66 years and together they raised 2 daughters, who gave them four grand-children and who in turn have given them five great-grandchildren. In the mix we have a synchronized swimmer, a rock star, a rock climber, a graphic artist and a little cutie-pie with as yet undiscovered talents!
As with all families, there were bumps along the road, but with our parents hard work we had everything we ever needed and even as adults going through difficult times, our father told each of us that we would never lose our homes and whatever we needed we had only to ask for.
He was stubborn and opinionated, but he made our mother's breakfast every morning and turned down the bed for her every night before she climbed in. And panicked whenever she was ill.
He was so very proud of all of his grand-children and great-grandchildren. For those family members too far away to see often, he and our mother checked FaceBook regularly for the most recent updates of their activities and successes and always remarked on them in phone calls.
He loved Judge Judy and laughed at Donald Trump. He flew everything from WWll bombers to passenger planes (but only on the computer!) and always joked that in a real in-flight emergency, he could take over for any pilot.
He's had a rough past year, but this turn of events was unrelated and unexpected. We are all shaken. It's hard to say good-bye. Rest in peace, Poppy.
Your loving daughters,
Susan Crawford and Janet White
