Newburgh, New York
Robert (Bobby) James Dickman, 61, of New Windsor, NY and lifelong resident of the area, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, August 9th at St. Claire's Hospital in Dover, NJ.
Bobby, as he was referred to by friends and family, was the youngest of 4 children. He was born to the late William H. Dickman and his wife Mary A. (Bollnak) Dickman in Des Moines, Iowa, and moved with his family to New Windsor, NY when he was 7 years old. He attended Newburgh schools and loved playing baseball and football as a kid.
Bobby was employed as a telephone technician for Williams Inc. One of his most loved pastimes was as an avid fisherman, like his dad, and loved camping and sitting by the campfire with his friends and family drinking beer, joking, and telling stories reliving the good times. His love of the outdoors extended to planting and tending his summer vegetable garden. He also loved playing darts and bowling, trying his luck at Quickdraw and he never said 'no' to a frozen margarita!
Bobby is survived by his wife, Natalie (Millspaugh) Dickman and son, Robert W. Dickman of Newburgh, daughter, Kristina M. Dickman of Long Island, his mother Mary A. Dickman of New Windsor, brother William (Bill) Dickman and wife Linda of Cuddebackville, sister Ann (Dickman) O'Reilly and husband Glenn of Newburgh, as well as many nieces and nephews. Bobby was pre-deceased by his father, William H. Dickman and brother, Leslie Dickman.
Visitation will be held from 4-7 p.m. on Tuesday, August 16 at Brooks Funeral Home, 481 Gidney Ave., Newburgh.
