JAMES VICK Obituary


  
JAMES EDWARD VICK (Age 67)  
On June 7, 2014 in Springfield VA. James was born on January 26, 1947 in Crossett Arkansas. He spent most of his formative years in Chicago, Illinois and earned a full athletic scholarship to Lincoln University in Jefferson City, MO. After graduation in 1970 James served as a member of the Army Reserves. James began a professional journey that took him from a correctional officer with the State of Missouri to a Case Analyst with the Army Clemency Board and finally to an appointment as Chairman of the Army Clemency and Parole Board in 1981, a position he held until his retirement in October 2011. James was an active member of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity and Metropolitan Baptist Church of Washington DC. James is survived by his wife of 45 years Beverly Vick; his children, Wendy, Kristal, Christian and Zachary; his brother Floyd, and countless close family and friends. James' funeral service will be held at 11 a.m. on June 14, 2014 at the Everly Wheatley Funeral Home, 1500 West Braddock Rd, Alexandria VA. It will be preceded by a viewing from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. and a ceremony by the brothers of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in his name to Metropolitan's Children's Nursery.

Beverly and Children- Sort of lost touch with Jim after I retired in 2010 and was saddened upon reading this OB in the Post today. Conjuring up pleasant memories of the 30 years we worked together and the many trips to the DB and Camp Funston. Know Jim will be missed but hope you have many pleasant memories of your time together. Sorry I will be unable to attend the Memorial Service tomorrow. God Bless. Jack and Lissa
