William "Bill" L. Hickman, age 72 of Fulton passed away Monday, September 29, 2025, at Marion General Hospital. He was born on February 22, 1953, to the late Frank D. and Eva M. (Longacre) Hickman.

Bill was a 1971 graduate of Cardington-Lincoln High School. He had worked as a draftsman for many years and later worked for the OSU Extension Office working on spider identification.
