Deepest Sympathies

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the entire hicks family. We met Mr Hicks playing virtual poker on Xbox. We met in person in the summer of 2008 and travelled many summers to visit from Ontario Canada. His sense of humour, genuine heart and energy I will never forget. RIP Mr Hicks you are forever loved and remembered.
