William Hicks Jr.

Bill and l coached football together at Lincoln-West, along with his son Kahari. Bill was instrumental in the winningest season in LW football history in 1994. He was a motivator and cared about the players as individuals. Unfortunately I recently found out about his passing. My deepest condolences to his wife and family.

I will always remember him for his sense of humor, wisdom and great love for our youths. He was a great mentor.

Dear Karen,
I was so sorry to learn of your husband's passing. You & Bill were one of my favorite couples when we socially interacted. His "laugh" was one for the ages! May God's grace and mercies softly cover you and your family through this time of sorrow. God Bless You.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

Sending you my deepest condolences. Hope you are well and safe.

Condolences to Karen Hicks and family on the loss of your loved one. I met Bill when I arrived at Anthony Wayne Elementary School. There was never a dull moment with Bill around......he liked to play pranks on me at any given time during the school day as he worked with his students, moving around the building. He organized the Anthony Wayne Friday Happy Hour..a "Toddy for the Body" down the street at the Original Grist Mill! His energy and sense of fun will be missed. Praying God will keep...

We have no adequate words to express our thoughts and feelings at the loss of Brother William Hicks. Bill's passing diminishes our families and all the communities in which he sought to serve his fellow human beings. We will remain inspired by his exemplary embodiment of love of family and community; his daily commitment to equity and justice; and to personal integrity, teamwork, and pursuit of excellence.

Bill was my internship mentor at Cleveland Public Schools fortysome years ago. He had a tremendous impact on me that carries on today. My condolences to all who loved him.
