JOHN B. "PLANKS" HICKEY

Miss you

The anniversary of your death is coming up soon on Nov 6th. Want you to know
that I still love you and miss you terribly.

Yesterday was the two month
anniversary of your death. I still can
not believe you are gone. I spent
NY Eve with our dear friends the
Higgins and the Quinns and I was very
happy to do so but we all are grieving.
Love you,
Carol O'Brien

'I'm kicking over paint cans.' Then
still adjusting to our new freedom,
we dated others ( you had many girlfriends

At Fresh Pond Golf Course, where we both played, you never know who you will get matched up with. It was always a relief to see John waiting when I walked down to the tee. He was a kind and gentle man, and a great golfing partner. I last played with him just a few weeks ago. It was my first round since a major injury, and he could not have been more patient and generous. I will miss him.
