Bio: Frick, John Hershel ?Jack?, 100, passed away peacefully on Friday February 23, 2018 surrounded by those he was most proud of ? his loving family. He was born in a farm house in Bullitt County, Kentucky on June 21, 1917, the youngest of 6 children, to Benard William and Laura Link Frick. He was a 1937 graduate of Okolona High School (now Southern High School). Upon graduation, Jack went to work for Southern Bell (now AT&T) when the country?s telephone and communications systems were in their infancy. As a proud member of the ?Greatest Generation?, his career was interrupted by war. Jack served in the United States Army as a 1st Lieutenant during World War II with tours in North Africa and Italy. A few years later, he was called again to serve in the Korean War. He was a veteran who was proud of his country and the victories that were achieved. After returning home from war, he continued his career with South Central Bell and retired in 1977 after 40 years of service. Upon retirement, his love of real estate and people lead him to become the principal broker at his own firm, Jack Frick Real Estate, Inc. Outside of his careers, he was a founding member of the Okolona High School Alumni Association and instrumental in creating the T.T. Knight Memorial Scholarship Fund at Western Kentucky University. He was an active member of St. Bartholomew Catholic Church for 63 years, where he served the Lord in many volunteer positions. In addition, he always maintained a garden big enough to feed his entire neighborhood. With over 300 guests in attendance at his 100th birthday in June 2017, he shared his secrets to a long life: physical and spiritual health, job pride, taking care of mankind and a positive attitude. Always one to tell jokes, he added that genetics helped too. He will be greatly missed by all those he touched, helped, befriended and mentored over his 100 + years on Earth. In addition to his parents and five siblings, he was preceded in death by the love of his life, his wife of 72 years, Nellie Hatter Frick. He is survived by his children, Dr. John ?Jack? Frick (Pat), Kenneth W. Frick (Pam) and Kathy Jo Key (Buddy); daughter-in-law, Marie Papasadero (Otto); 11 grandchildren, Jeff Frick (Joy), Greg Frick, Chris Frick (Laura), Travis Frick (Stephanie), Lindsay Swearingen (Jason), Ashley Frick, Erin Singleton, Ben Frick (Jennifer), Taylor Phelps (Mike), Hunter Frick and Matt Frick; and 23 great grandchildren. A special thanks to Beverly Franklin, Delores Rodgers, Brenda Hodapp, Denise Twyman, as well as the excellent staff of the Nazareth Home for their love and compassionate care. His funeral mass is 11am Thursday, March 1st, at St. Bartholomew Catholic Church, 2040 Buechel Bank Road with burial in Hebron Cemetery. Source: Fern Creek Funeral Home
