May you rest in holy heavenly peace. I was only 12 years old when I watched him coach the Ayer Basketball team with General Holman, Randy Rock and others. I looked up to you then, because I somehow knew you were a man of integrity, utmost character, and virtru. I am thankful that from a distance I knew you.

Coach Hickey,
Simply the best! Patient, passionate and wise. He coached me in basketball but was such a great mentor. When I went through one of the toughest times in my life junior year of high school, it was he who consoled me and guided me toward my faith for answers. I´ll never forget what he did for me! I couldn´t have done it without his kindness and guidance. I am sorry I couldn´t make the wake but he will always be in my heart. Until we meet again coach, rest easy.
Dean, Kelly and Beth-Ann I love you all. His kindness shines through each and every one of you. I´m so sorry for your loss.

Please accept my condolences on behalf of the Coke family from Ayer. Mr. Hickey coached my brothers Dave and Brian at AHS where they went to the state championship. He was definitely a push behind my brother Brian getting a full ride basketball scholarship to ULowell and then on to play professional basketball in Ireland for three years. Coach Hickey was a very good guy! Prayers to you all.

My heart goes out to the Hickey family! I first met Coach when I was 10 years old and he let me be a part of the football program as a waterboy. He didn´t have to, but he could tell how much I wanted to be close to the game and the players. I was lucky enough to go on and play and then coach with Coach Hickey. I learned so much about how to handle life from him. He will be missed, but fondly remembered. He´ll forever be my Coach! With love, Sam Chery and family.
