Was a regular at Hicks hardware and talked regularly with Bert in the 50´s and early 60´s. Left Berwyn in 1967 and now reside in Portland Oregon but my memory of Hicks Hardware endures.

During the many years I worked at Freedom Federal, it was always a pleasure to visit Bert at the hardware store, my deepest sympathy, he was a great man.

My father used to work at Hicks Hardware and always spoke so fondly of every member of the family. All our thoughts are with the Hicks family at this time.

Bert was a gentleman who was much loved by his family and friends. During his long life he made significant contributions to his country and community. He will be missed.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Hicks family during this difficult time. Bert is by far one of the nicest people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. It was always a joy to have him come into the branch and just sit for long periods of time talking to. He will be dearly missed by many! R.I.P. my dear friend
