He married a Blair girl, Ane Christine Poulsen. There were no children.

He was a member of the First Lutheran Church and the Masonic Lodge.

John William Fick (Bill), a life-long resident of Blair, Nebraska, died at his home at 1419 Colfax Street, Saturday forenoon, March 17th. He had been in failing health for many months.
In addition to his wife, he is survived by a brother, C.R. (Rudy) Fick, of 1403 Front Street in Blair, Nebraska.
