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.

His Son Rabbi Shoul Yisocher Bick was a Rav in Brooklyn NY in the Anshie Sefard Cong.
Rabbi Avrohom Yeshoua Bick son of the above Rabbi Shoul Yisocher was also a Rabbi in Brooklyn.
Family 2:
Rabbi Chaim Yechiel Bick of Brooklyn NY (listed in this site) was born to his father with same name after his father has passed away.
The first Rabbi Chaim Bick was the son of Rabbi Zvi Aryeh Bick from Mezhbizh who was a brother to Rabbi Simcha Bick from Family 1 above.

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.
