We've lost another dear friend...RIP Bob Hickish

Post by Ray Montee (RIP) »

Just received word from his son up in Washington State.......

that BOB HICKISH passed away last Monday following heart valve surgery. He was an aviation fan and had worked on many different kinds of WWII aircraft, including the PBY Catalina that was featured in the great movie "ALWAYS"..........

We've corresponded regularly this past year and this happening comes to me as a real shocker.

BOB.......will surely be sorely missed.

I'm so sorry to hear about Bob. His posts in EXTENDED FAMILY were always very positive and enjoyable to read. I am praying for Bob's family and friends in their time of grief.

May Bob rest in peace.
