James L. Dick, age 76, of Somerset, Ky., went to be with the Lord on Saturday, November 6, 2010 with his family by his side at the St. Joseph Hospital in Lexington, Ky.
He was born on January 21, 1934 in Frazier, Ky. to the late William and Mildred Barnett Dick.
He was a 1952 graduate of Wayne County High School, a United States Army veteran, and was of the Baptist faith. He worked for Brown Brothers Construction, Sears Glass Shop, and retired from the Somerset City Gas Company. He served on the Lake Cumberland Long Term Care Advisory Council.
The family would like everyone to know that James was the kindest, most gentle and loving man they had ever known. To some he was like a Daddy to them and to others he was a brother and best friend. His advice and the example he set will be sorely missed.
He is survived by his loving wife of 57 years, Mary Elizabeth Silvers Dick, whom he married on December 5, 1953 in Ferguson, Ky.; a sister-Janet
(Jim) Druin of Elizabethtown, Ky.; three nephews-David (and Sherry) Dick, John (Stacy) Dick, and Stephen Druin; two nieces-Juanelle (Scott) Smith and Lisa Druin; three great nephews-Wesley Dick, Matthew Dick, and Jacob Dick; and two great nieces-Heather (Eric) Surber and MaKayla Smith.
He was preceded in death by three brothers-Richard Dick, Howard Ray Dick and John Jr. Dick; and a sister-Junita Dick that died at birth.
Funeral services were held at 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday, November 10, 2010 in the funeral home chapel with Bro. J.S. New and Bro. Clarence Floyd officiating. Burial was in the Mill Springs National Cemetery in Nancy, Ky.
The American Legion Post #38 Honor Guard were conducted military honors.
