Harlan "Chico" Nickerson
Harlan "Chico" Nickerson, 86, died Saturday, April 7, 2007, at Pine Ridge Extended Care Center in Pagosa Springs.
Born in Pasadena, Calif., in 1921, he served in the Army Air Force in World War II, stationed in England where he met and married the love of his life, June Nickerson. June passed away in July of 2006.
Chico was a legend in the southern California area for resolving complicated title issues specializing in oil and gas leases. He loved to listen and dance with June to Dixie Land Jazz and both he and June were able to see some of the greatest jazz performers ever (Benny Goodman, Count Basie, Jelly Roll Morton, Turk Murphy and many more). Chico retired to Santa Fe, N.M., where he lived from 1989 to 2005, at which time he moved to Pagosa and resided at Pine Ridge Extended Care Center.
He is survived by his son, Stephen Nickerson (Alberta), of Pagosa Springs; daughter, Karen Wheeler (Charlie), of Santa Fe, N.M.; son, Geoff Nickerson, of Corpus Christie, Texas; daughter, Jody Bergsma (David), of Scottsdale, Ariz.; seven grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
We know Chico will be jitterbuggin' with his Junie on that big dance floor in the sky. A memorial service will be held at 10 a.m., Sunday, April 15, 2007, at Pagosa Junction. We love you, Chico, and will miss you.
