George E. Fickett of Toutle, Washington, died peacefully March 9, 2006 at Peace 
Health Hospital surrounded by family. 

He was born March 2, 1929 in Onalaska, Washington on his grandfather's 
homestead. He was a 40 year member of the Eagles in Castle Rock. George was a 
timber faller with Weyerhaeuser most of his working years and retired in 1989 
after 34 years. He enjoyed wood working and made many pieces of furniture that 
he would give to his children, grandchildren and friends or donate to 
fundraisers in the community. He was very gifted with his wood work and loved 
to have people stop by and ask for his help on their projects. While many 
people saw the gruff side of George, he had a heart of gold and loved his 
family. He would especially like to talk about his grandchildren and was very 
proud of them. George is preceded in death by his mother and father, Charlie 
and Nancy Fickett; three brothers, Charles (James) Fickett, Daniel Chester 
(Chet) Fickett and Edward Fickett; and a half sister Francis. He is survived by 
four sons; Lewis Fickett of Longview, Roger Fickett of Tigard, Oregon, Les 
Fickett of Silver Lake and Ricky Fickett of Albuquerque, New Mexico. He is also 
survived by two brothers Eugene Fickett of Camarillo, California and Miller 
Fickett of Toutle, Washington. George had eight grandchildren, Jodie and Scott 
Fickett; Roger, Jr. and Nick Fickett; Bailey and Oly Fickett; and Ryan and 
Jacquie Fickett. He also had many friends too numerous to name, but includes 
special friends Will and Diane Dunn and Bud Tippery. Viewing will be at Hubbard 
Funeral Home in Castle Rock on Thursday, March 16th and Friday, March 17th from 
10a.m. to 4p.m. A memorial service will be held Saturday March 18th at 11a.m. 
at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Castle Rock, WA followed by burial at Alfa 
Cemetery in Alpha, WA at 2:30p.m.
