David Picotte Obituary

David William Picotte, born on September 29, 1942, in Palmer, Massachusetts, passed away on October 8, 2025, at home in Palmer. He was the son of the late Clarence E. and Ida (Smith) Picotte and was predeceased by his brother Bruce Picotte.

A devoted sports enthusiast, David had a particular passion for watching UConn Women's Basketball and the WNBA. He greatly enjoyed engaging in conversations about sports with his brother. David had a love for cats, particularly his cherished cat, Pepper, who brought joy to his life.

Richie:
My thoughts and prayers are with you, at this terrible time. I'm so very sorry, for your loss. The world is a far lesser place, without David and even Heaven, itself, is improved by his presence. May the Good Lord provide you with a measure of peace and solace through the sure and certain knowledge that Dave is already safely in His care, with the rest of your family. May God Bless, my Dear and longtime Friend. --JOE (Urban) Russell
