Joe was born Nov. 13, 1938, in Sparta, to Henry Dickerson and Alma Sheldon Dickerson.

Left to carry on his legacy are his wife of 64 years, Larona Dickerson; daughter, Veronica Cantrell; grandchildren, Chris Abston, Josh Smith, Michael (Tosha) Teeples, Miya (Jeff) Copeland; and great-grandchildren, Kami, Jamison, Morgan, Roman, Logan, and Ozzy.
