Retired State Sen. Stephen Amick has died.
Amick, a Republican from Newark, represented the area for more than two decades. He was part of a group of moderate Republicans that included former Gov. and Cong. Mike Castle.
Amick also retired from a legal career that included stints at the Newark law firm of Cooch and Taylor and DuPont Co.
Amick served on many local boards, including the Newark Historical Society, Old Swedes Church Foundation, and the Pencader Heritage Area.
Gov. John Carney issued the following statement on news of Amick’s passing:
I have fond memories having served alongside Senator Amick during my time as Lieutenant Governor. Senator Amick was a dedicated community leader in Newark, and he served his community well in the Delaware General Assembly for nearly three decades – first in the House and later in the Senate. Simply put, he was a good guy. Senator Amick had a real commitment to public service, and the State of Delaware is better today because he served.
Amick was honored in 2017 for his public service by Common Cause.
