Dixon was a dear friend since we were about 10 years old. Our farms were a mile apart, so we knew each other before he transferred from the Temple school to Tioga. Over the years my visits to Tioga usually included some time with Dixon. My sympathy to his family and am asking the Lord to comfort each of you.
