Louis J. Vickery

April 15, 1943 - July 31, 2016

On July 31st, Louis Vickery, 73, died peacefully after a short illness under the care of Community Hospice of Saratoga. He is survived by his loving wife Jean, 2 step-children, Jean Ann Kesting (Brian) and Lawrence Manning (Courtney) and 2 devoted sisters, Ruth Ann Assmann, Doris Carter. He is predeceased by sister Mary Ebert and brother Loran. Additionally he had been blessed with 2 beloved grandchildren, Heather Kesting and Jack Manning, and numerous nieces and nephews. Born on April 15th , 1943 to parents Wesley and Lora Vickery, Lou’s love of aviation began early. Growing up across from Saratoga County Airport, Lou would watch the planes take off, fly overhead, and land. Eventually, he would be piloting small aircraft himself as frequently as life would allow. His love of adventure continued, as did his passion for motorcycles. Many times Jean was along for the ride throughout the 41 years they were together, whether it was on the back of his motorcycle or on a charter bus trip he was driving. Through his career as a driver, he eventually became the Director of Operations and Safety, at Upstate Tours and Travel. As an avid country music fan, Lou was inspired to pick up a guitar himself, and he was passionate about playing until the very end. Memorial services will be held privately, at the convenience of the family. Memorial donations may be made to Community Hospice of Saratoga.
