Theodore Avery Bick

I was deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Professor Bick. He was always friendly to me and had a kind word for me despite my never having competed for him or been in any of his classes. All my fellow students who did so always spoke so highly of Professor/Coach Bick. Sincerest condolences to the Bick Family and all those who remember him as the wonderful man and person I will always remember. Humble, kind and a true Champion!

I was shocked to hear of Ted's passing. As a colleague in the 60s and 70s he got me into running and changed my life for ever. He even sold me my first pair of custom made running shoes. My best wishes to his family on the loss of such an extraordinary individual.

ted was in class at union.. i am so sorry for your loss.. he is a great guy..

Ted was our beloved "Professor Bick".
Along with our Mom, Aunt Angie we thought the world of Ted and the many, many happy times we spent together singing all the "front parts" of old
songs. He was a faithful visitor to Aunt Angie when she was ill, a true and faithful friend to all who knew him and a superb athlete who always gave his best. With deepest love and
sympathy, Fran and Mike Bartholomew

Sorry to hear of Ted's passing. I have lost a teacher, a coach and a friend who was a shining example of what Union College is and what it stands for. Assuming Ted is now working on getting his marathon time down :-)

I have fond memories of Professor Bick's math classes at Union College in the 80's. Later in life, saw him many times around campus. He always had time for a chat and chuckle. He will be remembered and missed.

Born to run . . . interested . . . spirit leader with trumpet . . . math puzzles, conundrums, and riddles on long car rides . . . ever the teacher . . . big, ready smile and a bon mot for everyone . . . healthy respect for a good beer . . . ever curious . . . bled Garnet . . . loved and defended America . . . indelible memories of a very good man . . . . . . . . no more bad knees in heaven -- he won't need wings to fly

Joan & family: I am away with family, and was so sorry to read of Ted's passing. Ted had always been a good friend to all of us at Union College, a caring & loyal person. My thoughts are with you and your entire family. My deepest sympathy. Bob Montana, Schenectady, NY

JOAN & FAMILY, WE ARE SO VERY SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS OF SUCH A WONDERFUL MAN. SHARYN AND I ALWAYS ENJOYED SEEING AND LISTENING TO TED'S GREAT STORIES FROM THE MEMORIES OF HIS LIFE. HE WILL BE DEEPLY MISSED. HEAVEN HAS GAINED ANOTHER ANGEL. GOD BLESS TED AND HIS FAMILY.

Joan & Lisa, so sorry for your loss.

Anyone who was privileged enough to meet Ted, they will have lasting memories of a wonderful person who was generous with his time and loved working with his students. I was a computer science graduate of Union College and enjoyed taking Ted's math classes. And, when taking a photography class, Ted was happy to sit for my assignment (contrasting light).

We will miss Ted and his love of life long learning.

This is such sad news. To the Bick family, I so sorry. You have all lost a terrific person. Dr. Bick was always welcoming and generous to me, and I will always remember his kindness.

To my dear friend Jon, please let me know if there is anything I can do. I love you and miss you very much, and I am sending you and your whole family love and light.
