Dear Geneva,Cullen, and Levi.
I am so sorry for your tragic loss.
I wanted to attend the celebration of life, but wasn't sure I would be welcome. Pickering was loved and will be greatly missed.

Jimmy was a dear friend, trusted colleague, amazingly gifted man that lit up every room he entered while putting a smile on everyone´s face. Jimmy exuded steadfast courage and a willingness to tackle any and all objectives with poise, class, and determination. The accolades were many, and he quickly pointed to his Team as the true winners. Whether it be a late night strategy sessions, sampling the best steak houses in the cities we visited, playing music with the boys in the Rockies, golfing, or riding Harleys in the Everglades & Florida Keys, I will forever hold dear the countless memories shared with Jim. We spent countless hours talking about our families, How lucky was I to have Jim in my life.
