Our condolences to all the Pickard family. I’m sure John remembers watching the Packer games each Sunday afternoon with Mr. Pickard, betting a dime on the Packers and haggling over points. I think he let us win each time. Your dad was always so kind, I know how much you must be missing him. God Bless
