Not sure what to say?

My friend Gene and the Hickerson family. Long time close friend good times with u at Silver Quill, BLUE Fox, IRON GATE, MASOIN PIERRE, AND SWINGOS. Left CLEVELAND IN 1995 TO pursue my music career with my top Pop Rock Cover Dance Band Danny Lee & the GEMINI band in Vegas and Phoenix. Thanks for letting me stay at your house before I left Cleveland.

My mother went to high school with Mr. Hickerson at Trezevant HS in Trezevant, TN in the early 50's. The Browns were always her favorite team due to her friendship with Gene. He will always hold a special place in our family's hearts.

Should have been inducted years earlier. Thanks to the great Brown's running backs for wheeling Gene out on to stage.

Hickerson Family:

Do not marvel at this because the hour is coming when all those in the memorial tombs will here his voice and come out those who did good things to a resurrection of life those who practiced vile things to a ressurrection of judgement. John chapter 5 verse 28 and 29. May you find comfort in these words.

Bobby & Family, Sorry for the loss of Gene he was a kind and gentle soul here on earth as I know he is now in heaven. Georgene Johnson

Still remembering your loss in October. I knew Gene personally in High School in Trezevant, Tn. He will be fondly remembered.

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family now. My Dad (retired major league pitcher Bob Cain) worked in the Browns ticket office after retiring from baseball and we would attend every Browns game (20 yd. line) cheering Gene and the Browns on to victory! Outstanding at his position...Hall of Fame was long overdue!! Wonderful memories last a lifetime....don't forget the great times! Fondly, Judy Cain Wilkinson

Celebrating a life well lived. We will cherish the memories forever.
