DICKINSON, CECIL GEORGE - Cecil G. Dickinson of Rossville, NB passed away July 5, 2011 at Dr. Everett Chalmers Hospital. Born in 1929 at Campbell Settlement, NB, he was a son of the late Marshall and Elois (Nye) Dickinson. Cecil owned a farm and worked as a teamster in the woods. He later worked at Southampton Sawmill and after retirement, was employed at Kings Landing Historical Settlement, doing what he enjoyed the most, driving a team of horses. He loved and was loved as a husband, father and grandfather. Cecil left behind a great void in all the hearts of those who really knew him. Always joking and laughing, enjoying life and a cigar or two along the way, lending a hand when needed, calling and leaving a message on the phone, "No message, just being nosey".
