John Bickell Obituary
Annapolis - John William Bickell, III passed away at the age of 64 on June 26th after suffering a stroke six days prior.

Going to miss that sweeping bottom turn. I will always remember the night of hilarity watching "The Terror of Tiny Town" followed by the Dylan, Dead, and Petty/Heartbreakers concert the next day at RFK Stadium! I love you, brother.
