Pickett and loving father to Lynne (Pickett) Hopwood, Susan (Pickett) Kyhn, and Karen (Pickett) Sousa and fun-loving grandfather to Justin and Alicea Sousa, and Brendan and Hunter Kyhn.

Jack was part of the highly successful sales team at WalkerEMD in Newtown, and loved his work and long-time clients throughout the state of Connecticut.
