Rabbi Bick was buried in Lincoln Park Cemetery in Warwick Rhode Island.
I am sending information via email on him that I obtained from the RI Jewish Historical Society.
I’ll try to remember to take a picture of the Kever the next time I’m at the cemetery involved with matters of the Chevra Kadisha.

This is my great grandfather. I live in NYC and would be interested in any information anyone has on Rabbi Yitzchok Bick. My grandmother was one of his daughters that married and stayed in NYC.
Thanks.
