He passed away peacefully in Santa Monica, Calif., where he was living with his son, Robert and his family for the past few years. Charley was born Nov. 21, 1921, in Columbus, Neb., to Charley Jr. and Wilma Belle Houdersheldt Dickey. He attended the University of Nebraska in Lincoln where he was enrolled in the School of Engineering until his junior year when he enlisted in the U.S. Army, returning in 1946. Anyone who knows Charley knows World War II was the highlight or his life. He served in the U.S. Armed Forces from February 1943 to July 1946. He enlisted in the Army Air Corps and later transferred to the Engineers. He was commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant and assigned to the 11th Combat Engineers going to Europe in November 1944, where he served as a reconnaissance officer in France and later with the Army of Occupation in Austria. He was honored to be awarded a Bronze Star for exceptional meritorious wartime service, 68 years late. In 1953, he started his 35–year career with the U.S. Postal Service in Columbus as postmaster. He went on to a district position in Omaha, moving to Chicago for 10 years and then to Cheyenne, where he retired in 1988, after running a five–state area. He wasn’t long in retirement, purchasing the Little Ole Printshop in Cheyenne, which he ran with Martha until 2009. He enjoyed working. He loved gardening, was a voracious reader, an avid and competitive bridge player, loved talking about World War II and politics, was a serious Cornhuskers football fan and had a great sense of humor. He was an asset to late night parties for sing-a-longs to his piano playing. He and Martha held many Columbus Day parties in Cheyenne, reinventing it to be a national holiday to the hometown. He was a long-standing Rotary member and was involved with many civic organizations throughout his life. Charley was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 63 years, Martha Lips Dickey; and his brother Warren. Charley is survived by his sisters, Marian Hanner and Sandra Kniffin; his son, Charley L. Dickey IV and his wife, Kathleen; his daughter Paula M. Dickey; his son, Robert C. Dickey and his wife, Anna and their children; his grandchildren Christopher and Amy Dickey; and his daughter, Susan E. Dickey. © Wyoming Tribune Eagle February 18, 2018
