Howard Cocks Dickinson IV, aka Crow, King of The Hill, and "Uncle Foof" crossed over to the other side at 4:20 AM on October 8, 2014, as stormy skies covered up the eclipse of the full blood moon and the North winds swept in to carry his spirit away from his home on Baird Hill. He walked through heaven's gate "prick first," just as he would have wanted.

Born in Schenectady N.Y., January 29, 1936 to Cynthia Potter Read and Howard C. Dickinson, Jr. Crow grew up at Peach's Point in Marblehead, Mass., and from there went on to St. Paul's School, Harvard University '58, and Yale Forestry School.
