Claude Frank "Frenchy" Pickman

Sometimes you are lucky to have people come into your life and become special freinds. Frenchy and Sandy are those such people. Frenchy told me he could never say no to me when asking him to make another special piece of jewelry. After all these years I have every piece that he designed and created for me and my family. When one piece was finished I couldn't wait for the next! We will miss this special sweet man. He meant so much to me. Thank you Sandy for sharing.

Sincere condolences to Sandy and the Pickman family. My mother and step father, Kenny and Evelyn Alexander, were close friends for many years and enjoyed "the good life" with Frenchy and Sandie as fellow Elks/Elkettes and golf buddies. Frenchie was always so kind and patient and designed and repaired many jewelry pieces for my mother, Evelyn. In fact, just this week I was admiring her ring and talking about how he was a designer for Cartier and designed her wedding ring (she didn't know it...

Although it has been many years since we were social friends. I have fond memories of many trips with Sandra & Frenchy to Mt. Hood and southern California. He was such a talented craftsman, I have a special ring that he designed and think of him often. My condolences to the family. (Anderson Bros. Jewelers)

I was fortunate to have known Frenchy since 1956. He was a kind and talented man. My sincere condolences to Sandy and his family.

So many fond memories of my dad's good friend. I'll never forget Frenchy's kind words at dad's memorial. My Sympathies, Thoughts, and Prayers to Sandy and the Family.

45 years ago Frank designed and made our wedding rings. Although Vance is gone, I still wear mine today and receive compliments on the beautiful work he did. I am so sorry for your loss, Sandy and family.

Oh, Frenchy, you were my very first boss at my first real job...I was 18 yrs old and I am now 60. I was the Girl Friday at Custom Craft. You were one great guy...and, Sandy... I remember you coming into the office now and then...I offer my sincere sympathy to the family. Sue Dobson (formerly Haupt; daughter of Annette)
