Dr. Ira Hicks Jr.

Missing you Dr. Hicks. Darrell Hicks is awesome. I know you are watching over us. My wife and love you forever.

I remember him as a man of integrity and a role model for the male students.

Dr. Ira Hicks was truly loved by my family. My father, Lenoris E. Abrams Sr., consistently spoke of his respect and admiration of Dr. Hicks. My mother speaks of Mr. and Mrs. Hicks’ hospitality and graciousness during their many visits to FVSU. The Abrams family sends love and light. Please know that Mr. Hicks left a legacy that will be forever felt!
