I met Mr. Hicks when I worked downtown. I loved talking with him...he knew alot about alot! I missed saying goodbye by one day as he had retired the day before. I will always remember his warm smile!
W.K. was the first mentor to my generation of Dunbar Buffaloes football players. May he rest in peace with the Lord. My Condolences to the Family.
Ronnie Patterson and family.
Wow, Dub was my buddy. On those 6 hrs trips down to Prairie View for state band competition we always rode together. We laughed and talked all the way there and back. When Dub was home from college, or playing pro ball, he would always come by my Mother's house. Dub was my friend! For those who may not know both Dub and Pumpkin Strickland played trumpets in the band during concert season and football season was over.
We will cherish all the wonderful memories of our beloved WKHicks. The angels kissed us twice and I know my daddy was waiting on you at heavens door.

Glad you guys were there today. Your jokes and memories of my Dad were much needed.
Mr. Hicks Never seemed to sweat anything! Always as cool as a cucumber! Always extremely welcoming to me when I would see him. May you rest peacefully in eternity! Condolences to the family and all who had the privilege of knowing him!
WK was a good neighbor with a kind heart. Thank you for including us in the service. Mary, our thoughts are with you and his children. May God bless you with comfort in this time of sorrow.
Kerry and Donna Shirley
