With the spirit of compassion, Uncle Harry tried to help
some teenagers and in return was cowardly attacked by
those criminals. May the Lord bless his Irish soul.

Officer Hicks was my Dad, I was nine at the time of the killing. There would be no xmas tree, no platform with trains, no joy that year, that was Dad's job, he was our Santa, our magic man. Now at seventy seven, memory of that day still brings a wave of grief over me. He is my eternal HERO, my guide through life. His life of service is what I pass on to my children and grand children, his legacy will live on.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 65th anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer who was murdered in the the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered.

Finally, November 24, 2008, I learned specific details of my cousins, death. Remember bits and pieces of these facts and wondered what happened. Now I know. I remember his twins Mae-Mae and Jimmy who lived with my father's brother at 27 hundred block of Pierce Street. His son Jimmy, I heard survived a fall off a moving train in Nam

Officer Hicks,
On today, the 50th anniversary of your murder, I would like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for the citizens of Philadelphia. I think it's a real crime that your murderers only spent a few years behind bars instead of at least getting life.
