James Pickard Obituary

I'm missing you already, James aka Bigguy, as we used to call you at the forum. You had a heart as large as you were. Your sweetness was only surpassed by the empathy and concern that you showed to others. Despite how you felt, you were always there for someone else in need. I miss the pictures that you'd post and the jokes you would make when you were feeling up to it. I miss the way you'd call me sister, and I called you brother. I have many others but there was only one you. R.I.P., my brother. You are very dearly missed.

Rich, Thia, and girls,
We know how much you loved your Uncle Jim. He was so lucky to have you in his life to care for him during his illness. So sorry for your loss. Sending love and prayers.

You were a good and true friend Jimmy. Rest in Peace.

Jim,
We laughed and cried through the good times and bad times. The memories of you are countless. You had the greatest smile! Your laughter, kindness, sense-of-humor, and wisdom will be missed greatly! You are now at peace and all the hurt is gone. Your home and I know you are with your Mom, Dad and Bobby. I'm not going to say "Goodbye", I'm saying "Until we meet again." Rest in Peace, Love you.

Not many childhood friends become "brothers" in our lives and remain there forever. Jimmy and I had that closeness and he will always be remembered with much Love and Admiration.

Joann my thoughts and prayers are with you. I smile when I remember Jimmy playing with your beautiful dog Tanya and the times we spent playing pinnocle on Pulaski Street.

I haven't seen Jimmy in over 30 years but his"brother" John and I talked to him on the phone a few times recently and I used to play "words with friends" with him on the internet until he was to ill to play. John talks about Jimmy all the time and loves him very much. I wish I could have talked to him just one more time. Jimmy was a very kind man and we will miss him very much! May he rest in peace and paradise. He's an angel in heaven now. Peace Jimmy.You are loved!
