Sorry to hear about Richard. I went to school with him at Lynn View, and his sister Pauline was one of my best friends. Pauline can call me at 571- 5803. Prayers for the coming days ahead.
It saddens me to here of Richard's passing. He was a great friend and Brother of the IBEW. He was one of the main reasons I became a Journeyman Wireman out of LU 934. You will be missed.
Richard was a light to the world! His awesome talent, love for all,and friendship will be greatly missed. It was my pleasure to know him. And everyone that knew him felt the same. Prayers. Joseph Crawford
Dear Pappaw,
I love you so much. You mean the whole world to me, and you were my best friend in the whole entire world. You were an amazing father, and grandfather. I can’t wait to see you again.
I have mighty good memories of Richard Hickman from high scholo and over the years. My deepest condolences go to Shirley and all of his family.
Richard was a great musician and I did a lot of sessions with him on the drums in the mid 1970s. He went on to literally perfect the fiddle...and anything else he wanted to play.
I am so sorry for his departure so early in his life. I am exactly 15 days older than him.
