John Fickes Sr.

I worked with John at Appleton he was a cool person he starts call me Bubba

Never saw John without a smile. He was a true gentleman and I love how he loved my aunt. She deserved him. They deserved each other. And his memory will be strong until they meet again. John, you know we love our Astros, but here´s one for you... LET´S GO PHILS!!!!! Rest easy...

My first and longest friend since I moved to Harrisburg in 1972. I was with him when Vicki brought both John and Mandy home from the hospital. John was a loyal to the core and I knew I could always count on him. Countless hours of shooting pool, playing ping pong (I rarely beat him) parcheesi, baseball arguments (Phils vs. Pirates), softball games, fishing, hunting, drinking beer and on and on. Living on the farm. So many stories I could write a book. I would have to title it "Johnny,...

Your smile and gentle spirit will remain alive with me forever

Our deepest sympathy to your family, to Shirley and her family. God be with during this difficult time.

I´ve known John for a long time. He was such a nice person and taught me a lot about shooting pool. He was the best! Never saw anyone beat him. You will be missed....

We are going to miss Johnny, had many good times and memories with him. Heartfelt condolences to his family. Love you! Lew and Deb Buck
