In Memoriam: Paul Hicks

Paul Hicks, age 78 of Marion Center, Indiana County, passed away on Friday July 1, 2022 at his home. Paul was a longtime volunteer for the Baker Trail and the Evergreen Conservancy. He worked long hours monitoring water along the Mahoning and keeping our trail open and navigable. He enjoyed benching and spent many hours on the first and second phases of the Mahoning reroute.

Late in his life, he quit smoking and took up running, competing in 5K races into his 70s.

He was quiet, protective, kind, and just easy to work with. When he spoke he usually had something profound to say. He will be missed!
