I hate to hear of Pat's passing. I remember she & (as daddy would've called him) Ajax fondly from my youth. I am Jim Hicks' youngest daughter, Julie. My sincerest sympathy.

Mrs. Kockritz gave me my first job at Kocktitz Leather Store when I was a junior in high school, I admired her from the beginning. Such an articulated woman, she was a role model in her community involvement, Her family was first and she and Art were definitely a unit. I always remember her telling me good bye when I left for college. She was a classy lady. My sympathy to your family on the loss of your Mother.Sincerely,Joyce Hillyard Lutz
