By Bobbye Sikes Wicke
The “He-Coon” is former U. S. Congressman Bob Sikes, once the most
powerful figure in Florida’s Panhandle. At the onset of his long bout with
Alzheimer’s disease, Bob Sikes married his third, much younger wife. By
the time he died, she had transferred everything he owned into her name
with the help of his doctor (later a state senator), secretary, and the mayor.
During a decade of court battles, the children and grandchildren of Bob
Sikes learned that despite documentation of evidence, records, and
perjury, despite legal precedents and statutes, justice follows political
connections and deep pockets.
For families of the vulnerable elderly, and anyone who believes that justice
is blind. This true story is documented by legal, court and medical
records. No names have been changed. Second edition, 360 pages.
