Edward J. Vickers, 88, passed away peacefully on March 8, 2022. Formerly of Manhattan, he passed away at Catholic Hospice in Holy Cross Hospital in Fort Lauderdale, Florida with his wife by his side.
Born in the Strathmore area of Syracuse, he was a resident of Manhattan for over 68 years. He graduated from the Cathedral Academy, Dean Academy, and the University of Pennsylvania. He worked in finance his entire career and retired from JNK Securities in 2021. He was one of the longest-serving brokers in the history of the New York Stock Exchange.
Ed loved football, basketball, baseball, golf, and good food. In high school, he played football, basketball, and baseball alongside his brothers. He went on to play semi-pro baseball as a catcher for the Syracuse Chiefs in 1956. His fondness for golf began at the heels of his father and family and continued throughout his life. He was a lifelong member of the Westchester Country Club in Rye, NY, a place he often referred to as his second home. Always an athlete, he also played squash at the University Club in Manhattan where he was also a longtime member. He especially enjoyed Christmastime in New York, with all the decorations and ambiance.
Edward was predeceased by his parents, Dr. William Vincent Vickers and Teresa Driscoll Vickers, and brothers, Reverend William D. Vickers and Robert D. Vickers. Surviving are his wife of 5 years, Dorothy Vickers of Manhattan; sister, Suzanne M. Vickers of Mattydale; sister-in-law, Helen Vickers of Camillus; nieces, Kathleen A.
