Hickman Jr. Jon served in the US Air Force and retired from US Steel Research. He was a member of the American Legion Post 820 and the Plum Creek-Monroeville Lodge 799 F & AM. Jon had a passion for life and a thirst for knowledge, he loved a good debate. He was a gifted man who had many talents; ship building, gardening, origami, making (and drinking!) wine and playing the bagpipes to name a few. He loved the holidays, his grandchildren will tell you their memories of the July 4th holiday and grandpa’s fantastic firework displays continues on with their families today. His favorite holiday was Christmas and he started planning and making months in advance a special handmade gift (with a little money tucked inside) for everyone, he found such pleasure with doing this.
