Jim was one of the most interesting people I have ever met. His life story of hard work and perseverance and kindness should be known to ALL Americans . Along with his family; one of the greatest American success stories. Rest in peace Jim

Jim purchased many new Tow Trucks from us at No-Mar, and we spent many hours with him when we provided Tow Trucks for the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. He had a great sense of humor!

Remembering great times at IMS . Wrecker 3 has signed out and gone on home

I met Mr Hicks many times over the years. Purchase Parts at his Parts yard. I was also an insurance damage appraiser. Went to look at cars that were towed in from accidents. Was always a pleasure to talk with him. One night not too many years ago. Had a chance meeting with him when my wife was in the car. We talked for a good little bit. I don't remember what exactly brought us together that evening. but it was once again quite interesting and he had good stories to tell. The world will miss...

Condolences to the Hix family. We grew up across the street from Jim. He actually bought our house on Werges for his business. He was a really nice man.

I considered James my great uncle even though he really wasn´t. I loved him, his wife and daughter with all my heart. I will miss Jim but I have lots of memories held in my heart. Heartfelt condolences to the family. Gail, call or text if you want. Love Lee Crawford
