Don't know if any of you old timers from South Patrick Shores (like you, dingpatch) remembers Dickie the Mailman, but, his full page obit was in the Space Coast Daily News yesterday. He was 94 and died within 4 days of his 93 year old wife (or vice versa, can't remember). He was the founding supervisor of the Indialantic branch and delivered our route (on NE 2nd St) out of the Sat Beach office before that (in the early 60s, back when they walked the routes). [The Sat Beach post office was on the south end of the South Patrick Plaza (Gaskins Drugs, Silber Shoes, Jackson market, Rocket Lounge, and, eventually the Golden Dolphin). Harry Clark and I embedded our handprints when they poured the concrete for the extension in about 1961 or so.] He used to carry dog treats for the pooches and my brother followed him every day. Super nice guy.
