Biography
HOLDEN - M. Allan Nickerson, 89, beloved husband, father, brother, uncle and cherished friend, passed away peacefully on August 26 after a 10 year struggle with Parkinson’s and Lewy Body Disease.
He leaves his wife of 64 years, Barbara J. (Baird); a daughter, Debbie Yerdon, her husband Steve of Holden, and their children, Jennifer Bolton and her husband, Mark of Quincy, Lauren Dumais and her husband, Casey of Nashua NH; a son, Mark Nickerson and his wife, Barbara of Plymouth and their children, Benjamin and Jacob; his sisters, Sylvia Ribbe and her husband, John of Hudson, FL, Marilyn Briscoe of Duxbury; a sister-in-law, Diana Ferrazza of San Diego, CA; and several nieces and nephews.
Allan lived in South Weymouth most of his life and moved into a home his son built in Pocasset when he retired in 1989 and enjoyed 20 years of Cape Cod life. He moved to Holden in 2010 to live near his daughter. He graduated from Weymouth High School in 1943 and Boston University in 1949 with a degree in Journalism. He also studied accounting at Bentley College and graduated second in his class in 1964. He worked at Stone and Webster in Boston for 10 years, Chas T. Main in Boston as a corporate budget manager for 25 years and for Development Concepts in Weymouth for 5 years. He served in the Army Air Corps from 1944 to 1946 and trained as a navigation engineer.
He was a member of the First Baptist Church of Weymouth until 1989 and served as a Deacon, Trustee, adult Sunday School teacher, Chairperson of two building committees and volunteered his time and gifts in many other areas. He joined the Osterville Baptist Church in Osterville and continued to serve in similar roles.
He enjoyed golfing with family and friends and sailing his small boat along the south coast. He was a walking encyclopedia and his grandchildren used him for homework help whenever they were stumped. He was a voracious reader and also had a wonderful sense of humor.
A memorial service will be held Sunday, September 13 at 2:00 PM at the Community Baptist Church, 17 Mutton Lane, Weymouth, MA. Burial will be private. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Osterville Baptist Church, 824 Main Street, Osterville, MA 02665, Devereux, PO Box 219, 60 Miles Road, Rutland, MA 01543, or DOVE Inc, PO Box 690267, Quincy MA 02269.
