In 2004, they moved to Charlotte, NC when General Dynamics transferred her there. That stay was only for a few months before the company shut down.

Patrick is remembered as a kind, thoughtful, and generous person. He loved the water and being on his boat, his animals, and of course his beloved Florida Gators. As a former player, Patrick was a sports fan, which included NASCAR as well. He was the more quiet and reserved type, but he loved his wife and family, enjoying the get togethers, trips to the mountains, and more over the years. He will be forever missed by all whose life he touched. He was preceded by his mother, Francis (Peeler) Dickson, and his brother, Joe Dickson. Left to cherish his memories are: his loving wife of 53 years, Brenda; his brother Jim (Dana) Dickson of Clearwater, FL, along with numerous extended family and friends.
