Norman L. “Norm” Hicks, 81, of Williamsport, passed away on Tuesday, September 5, 2023 at Heritage Springs Memory Care Montoursville, after a long battle with Alzheimer’s. He was preceded in death by his wife of 35 years, Carole A. “Frenchie” (Bower) Hicks on November 26, 2021.
Born on March 21, 1942, in Canton, he was a son of the late Charles and Ethel (Foulkrod) Hicks.
Norm was a 1960 graduate of Canton Junior Senior High School and attended Garden View Church of Christ. His love for cars led him to a successful career in the auto industry. He was the proud owner of Norm Hicks Auto World and had previously worked at Kinley Subaru. His passion for automobiles extended beyond his professional life. Norman was a member of the auto dealer association and owned a race car named “Stormin Norman.” His love for cars was only surpassed by his love for his family, friends, and food.
