November 14, 1946 - April 1, 2025

William Roy ''Bill'' Dickinson, 78, passed away on April 1, 2025, surrounded by his wife and kids. Born November 14, 1946, in Shreveport, Louisiana, Bill lived a life of kindness and unwavering love for his family. To know Bill meant you had a friend for life.

He was a loving husband to Cathy Dickinson and a devoted father to Wesley Dickinson, his wife Ellie, Paige Brumley, and her husband Brandon. He also embraced his role as stepfather with warmth and love to Haley Fowler, her husband Michael, Candice Watson, and her husband Jon. Bill, known affectionately as Bepaw to his grandchildren, took pride in his grandchildren-Nicholas and William Dickinson; Kaylee and Tyler Brumley; Crafton and Campbell Fowler; and Gianna and Jude Watson-each of whom brought him immense joy.

Bill is remembered by his brother Ben (Terri) Dickinson and many nieces, nephews, and cousins who cherished their time with him. He was preceded in death by his parents, Jeanette and Louis Dickinson, his sister, Louise Bland, and his granddaughter, Grace Dickinson.

Bill was generous and loving, never met a stranger, and always had a joke on hand. He was a wonderful husband, dad, and Bepaw whose presence enriched the lives of those around him. Bill's pride and joy were his kids and grandkids. He rarely missed a daily phone call with his kids which always included a story that may or may not have been true and many I love you's.

Bill spent many of his days traveling with Cathy around the world checking off items on his bucket list. When they weren't traveling Bill and Cathy were watching their horses run at Oaklawn or spending time with family and countless friends. No matter the season you could always find Bill calling those Hogs. Bill was a member of Fellowship Bible Church in Cabot, where he deepened his faith and cherished the connections he made with everyone he knew. He was known as a man who listened intently, gave advice freely, and would be the first to meet any need.

Bill and his twin brother Ben are widely known and much loved as the 'Barbers to the Political and Business Leaders of Little Rock and Arkansas.' At Morrison's of Little Rock, located first in the 1515 building near the State Capitol, they served Governors, legislators and justices. Then for the past 53 years in the now Regions Bank building in downtown, they also served leading business, media and government executives. Morrison's was a place where you could find out what was happening, and Bill and Ben seemed to know everyone. They are the only known twin brothers in Arkansas to partner as barbers.

His legacy lives on through the countless memories of those who knew him best.
