Dear Alberta and family,

We knew "Vick" for many years because of our association with the Legionaries of Christ. We had many good times together and always felt so highly of both of you......a fun-loving couple! So sad to hear of Vick's passing.

Love and prayers, Pat and Dave Warner

Sorry to hear of the passing of Willard. It was a pleasure to visit Willard and Alberta in their home in Silver Spring, Md., many years ago. Even got to play tennis with Willard.

God bless Alberta and all the family.

During my adult life I remember family members speaking often of Willard and Alberta Vick. They always spoke well of them and I always hoped that Willard and Alberta and their kids would someday attend one of our Vick Family Reunions in Montana, so I could meet them. I feel a strange sadness that I never got to know Willard personally. My sincere condolences to Alberta, all the kids, grandkids and great grandkids. God bless!

Our sincere condolences to the family. We were just wondering the other day how things were with the family there in Silver Springs.
God bless, Don and Jackie Vick

I remember Mr. Vick as the tall gentleman who drove a Volvo. And the person my friend, Gary, always kept in the back of his mind as his guide and "compass."
