Thomas Carey Wicker Jr., whose legal career included 26 years as a judge in two courts, died Wednesday at his Metairie home. He was 97.
A lifelong resident of the New Orleans area, Wicker had a private law practice until 1972, when he decided to make what turned out to be a successful run for a judgeship on the 24th Judicial District Court. Thirteen years later, he won a seat on the 5th Louisiana Circuit Court of Appeal, where he sat until he retired in 1998.
