Truman Floyd Dickerson was born February 21, 1921 in Aledo, Oklahoma, to Minnis and Alta Mae Dickerson. He started school in August 1926 at Center Point School until the 7th grade, and then attended Independence School District until his graduation in 1940. Truman played basketball in school. He worked in his father's blacksmith shop and on the family farm. He came to Oklahoma City in 1940 to attend aircraft sheet metal school. In 1941, Truman went to Wichita, Kansas, to work for Boeing Aircraft, where he worked on tooling for the B-17 and B-29 Bombers. In January 1943, Truman was drafted into the Army Air Corps and went to Fort Sill for induction and training as a Sheet Metal Specialist. Truman was assigned to the newly activated 445th Heavy Bombardment Group at Gowen Field, Idaho, for ground-crew training on the B-24 Liberator Bomber. He departed the U.S. with 17,000 other troops for England on the Queen Mary in October 1943, making his way to the 445th Base at Tibenham, Norwich County, England. Truman was stationed at Tibenham until the war's end. He was a member of the 703rd Bomb Squadron, which was commanded by the film actor James Stewart. After returning from England and receiving his discharge in 1945, he worked in construction in Oklahoma and in Kansas for the D.C. Bass Construction Company.

Truman married Evelyn Mae Thomas in Perryton, Texas, May 21, 1949 and lived there until 1952. Truman and Evelyn came to Oklahoma City and he began his career as a home builder and land developer. Truman was one of the founders of Architectural Building Specialties, a manufacturer of hollow-metal door and window frames in the 60's. In the 70's and 80's, Truman concentrated on land development and home building. He developed several home additions in South Oklahoma City, Del City, and Edmond. Truman was a respected home builder. He built many homes around the metro area for family and friends, and stayed active in land development to this day. Truman loved to be around his family and friends. He loved children. He loved dogs. Recently, he'd even befriended a squirrel that lived in the backyard and fed her on a daily basis. He had a gift. Truman was preceded by his mother and father, one brother, Ewell Dickerson and one sister, Reba Williams, and one great-grandchild, Lauren Hilsheimer. He is survived by his wife, Evelyn Mae Dickerson; one daughter, Shirley Hilsheimer and husband Dan of Tulsa; one son, Keith Dickerson of Edmond; grandchildren, Chad Hilsheimer, Mark Hilsheimer, Timothy Dickerson, and John Dickerson; and one great-grandchild, Adam Hilsheimer.
