Jorge Luis "Dicky" Vazquez-Lear, 71 years old of Tampa, FL, earned his heavenly wings while surrounded by family on Sunday, January 15, 2017.

He is preceded in death by his parents, three sisters, three brothers and his beloved son, Ivan "Bambam". Dicky is survivedby his daughters, Gianna and Selena, his son Andres Javier, son in law Ivan, grand-daughters Alondra del Mar and Coral del Mar, great-grandson Christian, along with several siblings, nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews, many cousins, in-laws and relatives.

Dicky was born on July 16, 1945 in Coamo, Puerto Rico. He attended Academia Inmaculada Concepcion HS and Recinto Universitario de Mayaguez, PR. He worked most of his life in Human Resources in Puerto Rico and most recently in sales at Floor and Décor in Tampa, being in the top three salesmen for six months in a row. In the time he worked there he earned the respect and the friendship of his fellow workers.

An outstanding baseball player in his youth and avid tennis player and golfer throughout his adult life, he whole-heartedly enjoyed watching sports of every sort and was an outstanding domino player.He was a free spirit and could be stubborn sometimes, especially with his obsession toward his children and their well-being. All who knew Dicky loved being around him and as he had the ability to make friends easily! He was quite a character, very charming with the ladies, always funny and witty, a great cook who sought to entertain in the kitchen and a man of faith. He was a loyal friend to many, and will be sorely missed by his family and all who knew him.

A Celebration of his life will be held at Oak Grove Church of God on 6830 N. Habana Ave, Tampa FL 33614 on Saturday, January 28 from 12PM to 2:30pm with a memorial service at 1pm. His family is grateful for the outpouring of love expressed by so many.
