Kip Picard

Kathy & family,
I'm only just finding out about Kip's passing and I'm shocked.I last saw Kip on St. Pat's Parade Day in Holyoke. I was sitting on my mom's front porch on Norwood Terrace when he announced his presence by bellowing my name while walking down the street! In 1964 my family moved there, across the street from the Picards, but we hadn't seen each other for years. We had played youth league football together, and had even attempted to start a band together (a rather sad attempt)....

Now cracks a Noble heart Good nite sweet Prince may flocks of angels take thee to thy rest....Gods speed.

My condolences and deepest sympathy goes out to the entire Picard family. It was quite a shock to hear of Kip's passing. Kip and I grew up in the same neighborhood of Holyoke and worked together years ago. May fond memories bring peace and comfort to Kip's family and loved ones.

Kathy,Our deepest sympathy goes out to you and your children. My fondest memories of Kip was his laughter and sense of humor.Anytime you were around Kippy you would hear his laughter. Glad we got to spend one last parade day with him. RIP

Kip,
Your life was a "Kodak" moment! Loved your laugh and playing basketball with you at lunchtime at the "Y". Our thoughts go out to Kathy and the family.

To the Picard Family,
I was shocked to hear of Kip's passing. I remember some great days when he and Dave, along with Brian O'Haire coached Vic and Vin's baseball. Always a favorite of the kids. He made a difference.

I was quite shocked when I heard the news. Never thought he'd be one to be taken so soon. I was also a fellow co-worker from the Graph Coat/Anitec/KPG days. It's funny, Kip and I had differing views on things, from political leanings to our football/baseball teams. I guess opposites attract as the saying goes. We always got along and he was there for me when a job opportunity came along. Knowing he would take me back made it easier to pursue. He will be missed.

We will miss you Kip you were a very loving person with a
very special way about you and so much love of life and family.
Our prayer's are with you and your family at this difficult time.
