My brother Bill Hill sent me this obit, I am sorry that John is gone. We were neighbors on Deville Ave. NW from 1954 to 1959. We lived across the street from each other . I was almost 10 when my family moved but I do remember the Ickes boys & their parents. Terry, Johnny, Denny & Timmy . Donny was born after we moved away . I remember the boys as silly & funny . I remember all of them as good guys, ornery but not bad kids. Denny was, I think the same age as my brother Bill. I remember some Summer evenings after supper when the boys' mom Ruth would sit on the stoop in front of the house & sometimes I would sit with her. My family moved to Plain Township right before I turned 10 so I never saw any of the old neighbors after that. Always good memories of the neighbors on Deville . I am sad for your family, I remember John as a good guy .
