As a former friend of Patrick Lico,
I would think of him often. Since the early to mid 2000s year
I use to help him with odds and ends when I lived in Kearny. I drove him to visit his friend Mr Solano former firefighter of Kearny and to his daughters home in Brooklyn.
We had a fall out many years ago with some personal issues but I still
Seen him as a life time friend.
I remember helping him move out of his home in Kearny to his apt in North Arlington. Shortly after that was the last time we spoke to each other. I remember how much he loved Christmas time and with all the decorations ect. He wrote me a poem one day about a pet squirrel that I had been caring for in the park,The poem was a special one. Pat has now moved on to bring joy and smiles to a much higher platform in the heavens above. He will be missed Take care Pat Mission accomplished your friend Eddie ️

Pat will be missed for his wonderful words as well as connecting a lot of family again. I remember how touched he was when I wrote a poem for him. I shared it in the stories section for all to see. RIP my cousin. We will miss you

So sorry to learn of Pat's passing. As a close cousin of Lucille's, we sat Pat quite often. I have cherished a poem that he wrote about my father. Although we lost touch after Lucille passed, my husband Bob and I will remember him fondly for being kind and funny. He always made us smile. Rest in peace.

I will miss Pat. He was so nice and always put a smile on my face. Rest in peace my friend.

It was a blessing for me to have had the chance of meeting up with Pat again. He brightened my day with his poetry. I will cherish the time , however brief. As the saying goes, "Out of sight, but never out of mind". Comfort to the loving family. Peace be with you.

Dear Nicole and Family, So sorry to hear of the passing of your wonderful father and my dearest friend . He truly was a fabulous human being gifted with musical talent as well as a beautiful man of words and letters expressed in the many many poems he has written. Pat surely deserves the tiltle of " Poetry Man " as their are very few who could come close to his poetic and lyric ability .. However Pat's greatest attribute was his capacity to love and make those around him experience his warmth and compassion and love for them in so many ways .. Pat was my best friend and my lyricist and musical collaborator and some day we will meet in heaven and pick up on our musical collaboration where we left off here on earth . My family and myself love Pat and his family and we pray for all of you at this time of your mourning .

I worked for Pat from 71-78 and enjoyed his band take five.

Our sincere condolences to our cousins. Your father was always fun to see at our Solano/Lico reunions. Always with a guitar and a song or poem. My wife Mary Anne and I are both cousins of Pat. Mary Anne through the Martone side and me through the Lico side. He will be missed.

My life is better for knowing Pat. He was truly a great man and someone I was proud to call my friend. I worked with him at Kearny Shop-Rite years ago and I'll always cherish the good times we had there, but what will always be special to me was my visits to see him and Lucille as we would sit and watch our beloved Yankees and have a drink and dinner and just talk. They were both special people! I'm glad I had the chance to talk to Pat earlier this year and check in on him and see how he was doing. I'll miss him but I know he is finally re-united with his Lucille! My sincere condolences to the family.

What a wonderful and kind man. Every time I came to visit he always told me wonderful things about myself to make me feel good. I always left the room with a smile. Deepest Condolences 

I am forever blessed by a father who never left a doubt in my mind that I was loved. I will miss him every day for the rest of my life. His talent was unsurpassed. No one could make me laugh and cry like him. Always in my heart
