(Laura) Dixon, Corona, Calif., Randy (Angie) Dixon, Cincinnati, and Teresa Roberts, St. Marys, and their mother, Zita Dixon Bidwell, St. Marys; four grandchildren, Jennifer, Megan and Kyle Dixon, and Ashley Roberts; his constant companion, his beloved dog,"Dixie"; three stepchildren, Collin Thomas, Van Wert, and Rhonda Thomas Slough and Nick Thomas, both of Findlay; and five stepgrandchildren, Eric Duvall, Shaun and Cory Seibert, and Brady and Travis Dickerson.

He was the owner of Sam Dixon Motor Sales in Celina for many years, continuing a family tradition in the automotive business. A 1946 graduate of Celina High School, he proudly served with the U.S. Army from 1951-52, during the Korean Conflict. He enjoyed bowling, golfing and working on his yard. He was interested in genealogy, was an avid writer, and had written many stories of family history. A very social man, he maintained lifetime memberships in many local organizations, including the Mercer County Elks Lodge #2170, the Dayton Antioch Shrine and Masonic Lodge #241, Eagles Aerie #1291, Moose Lodge #1473, American Legion Post #210 and Veterans of Foreign Wars Post #5713, all of Celina. He also served on the Honor Guard for the Celina VFW.

  A meal and fellowship for friends and family will be held at the Celina VFW Post on West Logan Street, following the service. Burial will be at Swamp College Cemetery, Celina, at a later date.
