Vincent Lee Vicari

Vincent Lee Vicari, 68, of Lower Heidelberg Township, passed away peacefully on July 1, 2025,

at his home surrounded by his family.

Vince was the loving husband of Saunja M. (Wilson) Vicari for 33 years, supporting her in all her

pursuits and creating a wonderful life together.

Born July 23, 1956, in Reading, PA, Vince was the son of the late Lindy V. and Jeanette N.

(Ciabattoni) Vicari.

Vince was a proud graduate of Muhlenberg High School, Class of 1974 and Villanova University,

Class of 1978.

Growing up, Vince was a multi-sport athlete, earning High School accolades in Football,

Basketball and Baseball. After college, Vince was an avid slow-pitch softball player for 22 years,

competing in the Reading City League and many travel tournaments.

Vince was the owner of several businesses, including Speed Zone with his family and Paul's Tree

Service & Landscaping with his son, Andrew. Vince was passionate about his racing endeavors

and cherished his time collaborating with his father, Lindy, at the Reading Fairgrounds and

Nazareth Speedway. He was owner of Reading Stock Car Association (RSCA), promoting

numerous events and specials at various tracks. Vince, along with his family, owned and

operated Susquehanna Speedway from 1997 to 2003.

Vince's true joy was simply being with his family. They embarked on many travel trips together

up and down the east coast, instilling a tradition of exploring and treasuring the opportunities

to spend time together. He loved to play card games and trivia, talk sports, and could always be

found on the sidelines at his children's sporting events, cheering them on and motivating them

to be the best versions of themselves in everything they pursued. Vince also valued the many

friends throughout his life who became more like family.
