Visitation for Bob Pickell will be held on Thursday, July 7th from 3:30 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. in the Plymouth High School Auditorium. Johnson Danielson Funeral Home asks that you enter only through the north set of doors labeled as #5.
Pickell died unexpectedly late Friday evening from injuries he received when he fell through the attic floor onto the concrete garage floor earlier in the day on Friday. He was airlifted to Memorial Hospital in South Bend where he died.
Bob began his career at the Plymouth Community School Corporation in 1978 serving as the Choir Director; he retired this year after teaching for 38 years. In his most recent role he taught Kindergarten through 4 grade elementary students at both Webster and Menominee Elementary Schools.
At 7:00 p.m. a Service of Remembrance will begin at 7 p.m. On Thursday to honor his life in education, as a community leader and member of Sigma Chi Fraternity – all are welcome to attend.
A mass of Christian burial will begin at 11 a.m. on Friday, July 8th in St. Michael Catholic Church in Plymouth. Burial will follow in the New Oak Hill Cemetery, Plymouth.
To further his love of music and its impact on students and others, the family would request memorial gifts be given toward the establishment of the Robert P. Pickell Memorial Scholarship, c/o The Marshall County Community Foundation or St. Michael Catholic Church.
As one family grieves, other families by the Grace of God and by Bob’s giving nature have reason to embrace the blessings of life. Bob was enrolled in the Indiana Donor Network, and through his continuing generosity, he is saving numerous lives of people in dire need of organ and tissue transplants.
