Vicente Pico

Vicente was born an only child in Havana, Cuba to Vicente and Daniela Pico on September 27,1935. He went to school in Havana, Cuba. He married Amelia Reyes on June 1, 1963, in Brooklyn, New York. He graduated from the Universidad de La Havana with a degree in civil engineering. He worked as a Motorman for the New York City Transit Authority for 25 years. He was an active member of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Church. In his younger days, he was Mr. Super Handyman; there wasn’t a home project or remodel he couldn’t handle. He was a strong family man. During his free time, he enjoyed going to the casino, watching baseball and novellas, and going out to dinner. He instilled the importance of family and education to us all.
