Peter V. Fick

Lets first renumber an unknown fact about Pete. He coached wrestling at Burlington City in 68-69 going 6-5-2. Unfortunately he choose softball and the rest is history as we all know. Maybe in today's world he may be the girls wrestling coach at Skyland school. Or leader in career wins for boys wrestling. A great loss for the sport of wrestling
Also worked with Pete as I ran the high school summer league in Bridgewater/Hillsborough in the 90's before club ball took over. The league started right after the high school ended and Pete used great opportunity to work and get to know the following years players. I umpired many of his games during the summer. I always remember his philosophy was to be the visitor. Be aggressive and have the home team work from behind. I still mentioned his philosophy even today. I agree with everyone is speaking about him as person. He was a GREAT human being and the high sports world continues in NJ continues to miss him even today. They don't make people like him anymore. God Bless

Mr Fick made busting your butt fun, a great guy. Always has a place in my memories.

Mr Fick was my freshman football coach in 1971. He taught his athletes discipline and respect. I have fond memories of coach Fick and am sad to learn of his passing. May he rest in peace after a life well lived.

The successful records and awards that Peter earned in his career are a testament to his skill as a teacher and coach. He had a special ability to use basic fundamentals in leading his athletes to the mastery of essential skills. He was persistent and focused on student achievement, and he was a reliable and supportive friend. It was my honor to referee basketball games with him and call him my colleague for more than thirty years.

Grew up in Ringoes, Mary Rae Gritsmacher was our babysitter. Was at her wedding to Pete. Remember watching golf and football with Pete at the Gritsmacher with their crazy dog April. What a fine man Pete was and I know will be sorely missed. My wife Kim and I will keep the family in our prayers

Rest peacefully Coach. Thank you for some of the best high school memories! (Class of `91) Grateful to be a small part of your incredible story. My deepest condolences to your loved ones.

RIP. Pete was an inspiration, he tried to reach me and I was not receptive, but when life became more in line I remember those who saw something in a troubled young man. I was fortunate enough to have returned to my alma -mata to teach along side Pete for a short time, I often wondered if he´d remember the troubled teen I was. Pete, (Mr Fick) will not be forgotten.

Rest in peace Coach Fick. Hunterdon Central class of 1980 alumni

To a great coach whose lessons helped on and off the field. I´ll never forget the great times I had in high school at your softball camps and in gym class. May you rest in peace.

Peter Fick was my freshman football coach. Coach Fick is one of those rare teachers who was able to connect with his students and players. One of the few teachers/coaches that you never forget. I met him 25 years after my graduation and he still remember my name. Condolences to the Family. Rest in Peace Coach Fick.
