1940 Census of Tacoma, Pierce County, Washington ~ Owen H. 32, Euroca 33, Peggy 14, Elijah B. 13, Owen B. 11, Janet 7, and Paul B. Dickson 6. ~ Son.
1953 Graduated from Enumclaw High School ~ Enumclaw, King County, Washington.
Paul B. Dickson, 82, died peacefully October 2, 2016 in Enumclaw Washington surrounded by his family. He was born March 23, 1934 in Snoqualmie, Washington, the fifth and youngest child of the late Owen H. and Euroca B. Dickson. In 1950 the Dickson family settled in Enumclaw, where Paul attended high school.
He graduated from Enumclaw High School in 1953 going on to the University of Washington graduating in 1958 as a pharmacist. He married his high school sweetheart, Janet Lee Moeller, on August 6, 1954 in the Idaho Falls Temple of the Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
After working for five years as a pharmacist in Renton at the A & H Pharmacy, he moved back to Enumclaw, where he and his family worked together to build the MD pharmacy which opened in 1963. The small pharmacy grew rapidly and there were several building additions which included a department store before it was completed.
Paul soon earned the trust of his customers and became known as Uncle Paul. He was known for his words of wisdom which were found weekly in the Enumclaw Courier Herald. They were called "Uncle Paul's Pep Pills" and were thoughts of inspiration and encouragement for the residents of the Enumclaw/Buckley plateau. Many customers came to Paul and instead of asking for a prescription they would ask for a "Pep Pill".
Paul was a devout member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He served in numerous leadership positions in the church. In 1963 there was not an LDS church building in Enumclaw, Paul was instrumental in building the church at 246 Semanski Street which was completed in 1969.
Paul was preceded in death by brothers Owen Dickson (Twyla) and Lige Dickson; sister Peggy Nielson (Blaine); and brother-in-law George Harding.
The joy of Paul's life has been his family. He is survived by his wife of 62 years, Janet Lee Dickson; sons Paul Douglas Dickson (Dawn) of Buckley, Dean M. Dickson (Elizabeth) of Buckley, and Darrel M. Dickson (Holly) of Enumclaw; daughter Diana Jayne Gunderson (Lance) of Houston, TX; sister Janet Burt (Boyd) of Sandy, UT; sister-in-law Narlynn Dickson of Salt Lake City, UT; 20 grandchildren and 24 great grandchildren; numerous cousins, nieces, nephews; and many friends.
Our family is very grateful for the care Paul received at Expressions of Enumclaw. The staff were all caring and treated him with dignity.
