He founded Dixon and Associates in Philadelphia in 1987 and was an expert at establishing startups. Mostly, though, he enjoyed his family and friends. 'He was just a fun guy,' his wife said.
William C. Dixon, 65, of Philadelphia, longtime attorney, energetic entrepreneur, and passionate arts advocate, died Friday, July 7, of metastatic lung cancer at his home in West Mount Airy.
Mr. Dixon cofounded Gold Coast Trading Co., Greene Street Pharmaceuticals, ProSolus Pharmaceuticals, and Scilex Pharmaceuticals, and helped organize many other start-ups. In the courtroom, he worked as a deputy county attorney in New York in the 1980s and later as an associate and senior attorney for firms in Philadelphia and Boston., to “bring the experience and mindset of a large law firm to benefit individuals.
William Charles Dixon was born Oct. 26, 1957, in Rockville Centre, N.Y. He was a teenage tenor in the Nassau County choir, won statewide recognition from the American Legion for his interest in local government, and developed a fascination with the law after watching TV lawyers Perry Mason and Owen Marshall.
Mr. Dixon was an avid gardener and tended buzzing beehives in his backyard. He was active with the Philadelphia chapter of Jack and Jill of America, spent a semester in France as a college student, and so impressed community leaders on a visit to Ghana that they held an official celebration in his honor.
