In Memoriam – Chuck Pickard – 1925-2024 – 1971 W. Shell Lane
It is with great sadness we report that long time SIA resident Chuck Pickard passed away on Oct. 25 at the age of 99.
Chuck and his wife Lorraine have lived in Summerplace for over 50 years. Chuck was an SIA Board member for 25 years and volunteered for over 40 years, well into his 90’s, performing maintenance on our beach access and stairs, our roads, our greenery, repairing our entrance signs and gates, and working to keep our neighborhood in good shape and attractive.
Chuck had an incredibly interesting life. He was U.S. Combat Marine in WWII, a Forestry Major at Massachusetts State, Stockbridge, a U.S. Forest Service Smokejumper, supervisor/trainer; parachute division Region 1, a Ft. Lauderdale Police Detective Sgt., and an owner of a Private Investigative Agency.
Thank you Chuck for your contributions to our community. You will be missed.
