Obituary and Condolences

February 13, 1944 - May 12, 2020

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Earl Gordon Dickson in Belleville on Tuesday, May 12, 2020 at the age of 76.

He was predeceased by his parents, Gordon and Jean (nee Hope) and is survived by his wife Agnes (Aggie), his three children, David (Tomomi), Kathryn and Irene, as well as his seven grandchildren, Brandon, Ryan, Jayden, Maeve, Zaine, Noah and Tristan, and his sister Linda Lomano (Jim).

Earl was born in Ottawa and grew up in Windsor. He joined the Force in 1964 and was posted to “J” Division, serving in Campbellton and Moncton until 1970 when he was posted to “O” Division. There, he served in Windsor, Toronto, St. Catherines and back to Toronto. Earl met Aggie in Toronto in 1974 and they were married in 1978. They retired to Belleville in 1986 where Earl was instrumental in founding the Law and Security Program at Loyalist College. He taught at Loyalist until 2007.

Earl was an avid hockey player, so skilled that he was offered a hockey scholarship in the U.S. which he turned down in favour of joining the Force. He played for many years on the RCMP team in Toronto. He was also a keen boater and had many craft over the years, sailing one of them to Newfoundland one summer. And of course he loved to play golf. But most of all Earl was a loving husband, a proud father and an even prouder grandfather.

Earl will be greatly missed by us all.

Due to the COVID - 19 pandemic, a celebration of life will be held at a later date.
