Robert (Bob) Dickinson was a man of quiet strength, a member of a truly remarkable generation, the WWII veterans, and specifically, a proud member of the “Silent Service”, the U. S. Navy’s Submarine force. He embodied the spirit of the Silent Service, performing his duty with immense skill and courage, often in the face of incredible danger especially while serving onboard the USS Queenfish SS-383.
RIP BRAVE SOUL. THANKS FOR YOUR SERVICE TO OUR COUNTRY. A TRUE HERO HAS ENTERED INTO HEAVEN. “Bob, you stand relieved, rest your oar. Rest in peace. You stood your watch well. We have the watch.” “Fair winds and following seas”
Bob was a former Heritage Hills resident and recently resided near his family in Long Island, NY.
