Larry Dickie, a loving husband, dedicated father, and cherished friend, passed away on September 16th with his wife of 55 years, Barbara, by his side.

Born in Riverside, CT to parents H. Ford and Marjorie Dickie, Larry graduated from Loomis Chafee, Middlebury College & Syracuse Law School. He also proudly served as Captain in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War. His law career began at Hughes, Hubbard & Reed in New York City, before he spent the majority of his career at PepsiCo, where he retired as Associate General Counsel.

Beyond his career, he was dedicated to serving as a Chairman of the Board at Green Mountain Valley School in Waitsfield, VT as well as a Commodore at Riverside Yacht Club.

Larry’s passion for wine led him to earn membership in the Confrerie des Chevaliers du Tastevin. But his true joy was found on the water. He started a charter fishing company in Turks and Caicos, where he made his second home. And he spent decades racing on his various Ptarmigan sailboats alongside his beloved crewmembers.

He is survived by his wife Barbara Dickie. His daughter Liz Walters, her husband Will, and their children Griffin and Sophia. And also his daughter Ally Shaule, her husband Scott, and their children Luca and Sloane.

A memorial service will be held on Friday, September 29th at 1:30pm at Riverside Yacht Club.
