OswaldDIXON Passed away peacefully on September 25th 2019, aged 100 years. Oswald Dixon - known as 'Ossie' - made Manchester his home after leaving Jamaica to serve during the Second World War. He was the oldest resident at Broughton House care home for veterans in Salford. An RAF veteran, Mr Dixon, turned 100 in April; known for his wicked sense of humour, he joined the RAF in Kingston, Jamaica, in November, 1944, as a flight mechanic then moved to Britain to serve before the conflict ended. He became a leading aircraftman and remained in the service teaching new recruits until he retired. Mr Dixon, who was registered blind, was living alone in Salford until he moved to Broughton House in 2015. He received greetings from the Queen, the Government and the Jamaican High Commissioner on his milestone birthday earlier this year, which was celebrated at the care home with a huge party. Co-op Funeral Care in Salford arranged his funeral for Agecroft Cemetery and Crematorium in Salford on Wednesday, October 9. The service began at 2.20pm and was extremely well attended by fellow veterans and serving members of the RAF and armed forces alongside the kind, generous people of Manchester.
May he rest in peace.
