Thomas George Pickett, age 90, passed away peacefully on March 30, 2023, at Royal City Manor. He was the first born child of George and Lilian Pickett and was born on May 3, 1932 at St. Paul’s Hospital in Vancouver.
He is survived by his son Edward Pickett (Lynne), his daughter Marna Cotroneo (Vince), grandsons, Robert Cotroneo (Amy), Kevin Cotroneo, and James Pickett, and one great-granddaughter Kinsley Cotroneo. He was predeceased by his daughter Mavis Anne Pickett and his grandson David Cotroneo.
Tom was a proud Commerce graduate of UBC. He had an amazing mathematical ability and used it to accomplish a successful career in Business and Finance. As an avid golfer, he was regularly in the top five percent of many Pro/Am Golf Tournaments. In his senior years, he kept his competitive spirit alive, winning many medals at the BC Senior Games competing in Table Tennis. By far, his fondest memories were of his time with The Kitsilano Boys Band, especially their five-month overseas trip to Europe in 1950.
As per his wishes, he was interred at Forest Lawn Funeral Home & Memorial Park in a niche beneath his daughter, Mavis Anne, near his parents.
