Ronald Litle Vick passed from this life into the arms of his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Monday, January 18, 2021, with his wife holding his hand.
Ron was born on January 16, 1952, in Amarillo, Texas to Mary Frances Litle and William Edward Vick. His education included boarding school in England, NMMI -New Mexico Military Institute, University of Texas at Arlington, and graduate work at University of North Texas in Denton.
Ron loved his family, loved life, traveling and learning. He was kind and generous with his family and friends. He never met a stranger. If needed he would rush to aid any family or friend in need.
Ron retired at least three times. He was an Air Traffic Controller until mandatory retirement in August 2006. After a short retirement Ron worked for Lockheed-Martin managing contracts with the FAA. Lideos, Inc., bought the contracts division and Ron continued to work for Lideos. After his retirement from Lideos he went to work for Halcon, Inc.
His children will always remember a fun energetic dad who insisted that traveling not only be fun but a learning experience. He was always ready to rough house with the kids, then grandkids, but also insisted on good manners - particularly good table manners.
