John Romie Hicks March 27, 1933 March 13, 2020 Middlesex......John Romie Hicks, age 87, passed away at his home with his beautiful, loving wife, Hilda holding his hand. The treasures of Papa`s life were his grandchildren Laura Ayscue, Jacob and Josh Murray, Caleb Upchurch and Waylon Creech. He served his country in the Korean War as a skilled marksman. He was one of the first to start Ferrell`s volunteer fire department in Samaria.
