"To the entire Hickman family. Jan was such a calming soul. He always was respectful and portrayed the feeling that he really cared about whoever he was visiting with at the time. To Bert, you raised two very nice respectful men. While I know the loss must be hard to bear, Bert I know you know that God is in control. Jan was so genuine, and will always represent what's good about our hometown. He is and will always be to us a big part of our beloved Quincy. Rest In Peace Jan. The Eddie Fletcher family"
