Lloyd J. Dickhut

Lloyd James Dickhut, 89, of Rochester, Minnesota, passed away at his home on January 8, 2015.   Lloyd is survived by his wife, Marie, eight of ten children:  Jeannette (John) Gunther, Rose Elaine Ferguson, Jeffry (Kathryn) Dickhut, Barbara Dickhut, Kathleen Dickhut, Gregory Dickhut, Jacqueline (Randall) Carson, Constance (Dale) Fuhrman; 18 grand-children and 34 great-grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews. He is preceded in death by sons Michael and David Dickhut, and grandson Nicholas and great-grandson Idris, his parents and siblings.

Lloyd was born November 25, 1925, to Russell and Margaret Dickhut, in Kansas City, Kansas, where he met his loving wife Marie Anderson. They married January 26, 1946 in Chicago, Illinois.  They travelled with the military before residing in Kansas City and finally settling in Rochester, MN in 1968.

After serving in the US Navy during WWII and US Air Force during the Korean conflict, Lloyd was employed by I.B.M. in a career spanning 39 years.

Lloyd had a special interest in aviation, serving as a pilot as well as joining a flying club in Rochester with his IBM colleagues.  He was active, enjoying both bowling, golf and working on his hobby farm.

His family and friends will remember him as being passionately devoted to family, a loving father and role model.  He was generous, compassionate, with a strong moral compass.  He was a model of strength and family values. His work ethic drove him to achieve professional success in various positions with IBM.

Mom & family, though always so far away from home (where the heart is), I always think of you.  Now Daddy, you have "left the building", but you are still "at home" as you live on in our hearts. I grieve for the times I will miss your voice -- while visiting at house or on phone -- but I will hear your spirit every day.  I didn't get to say good-bye, so I won't. I'll just say, "will be talking to you, and keeping you in my heart till we see each other again.  I love you Daddy.
