PAUL DICKMAN PASSES AWAY

Paul R. Dickman passed away on July 13 at age 60 after a battle against cancer. A fourth-generation Floridian, Mr. Dickman was the eldest son of Lyle C. and Margaret Dickman and grandson of Paul B. Dickman, who was instrumental in establishing Ruskin as a major agricultural center.

After the death of his father in 1976, he became president of Artesianj Farms, the family’s agricultural entity. Mr. Dickman is survived by his wife, Tammy Dickman; and brothers, Edward L. and Glenn K. Dickman.

FFVA sends its condolences and prayers to the Dickman family.
