I posted in the New York Times obituary with Legacy.com as well.
I remember when Richard Vick was confirmed at St. Catherine's Church, Holmdel, NJ. It was at the Easter Vigil and he was confirmed with his wife Celeste standing behind him. She always did that. I sang in the choir. I felt privileged to be part of that with him.
After that, I always saw him as a Eucharistic minister at St. Catherine's. It was reassuring to see him there. No matter what he did, he did it with quiet dignity.
I personally have been friends with Richard Vick II,one of his sons, since the early 1980's when he sang in the choir with me. The nice thing about Richard , Celeste and their sons is that once you became a friend of theirs, you were their friends forever. What a wonderful legacy of love. God Bless all of you in the Vick family.
