Fred was born April 10th, 1930 in St. Leonard, NB the third of 11 children of Murray and Lillian (Pring) Pickett.
At the age of 6 the family moved to Young's Cove Road where he resided with family until July 1949 when he married Ernestine Hunt.
Fred proudly got his first job at the age of 13 years and became a cookee to Vera Tower in Lepreau. This proved not to be a job he wanted and he returned home to work for his dad where, that same year, he took a horse and went to yard logs for two men cutting in the area.
Fred held numerous jobs and worked around this area from the age of 13 to 19 years. He worked and cut and/or hauled wood. Some winters he spent in a lumber camp working with a crew of men, keeping pace with the seasoned workers did not stop him. He has always said a good day's work will never hurt you.
Fred joined the Canadian Army in 1950 and served in the Princess Patricias Canadian Light Infantry during the Korean War from 1951 to 1952. Fred arrived home in the spring of 1952 with Malaria and was hospitalized for a short time for treatment.
As soon as he was well he got a job for the provincial government driving a truck for the next two years.
Fred went to Labrador and work on the US Air force base during the winters of 1954 to 1956 on the snow removal crew. When he was home in the summer he held various jobs trucking around the area. He says he was never home more than a day or two when someone would be looking for him to drive for them for the season. In 1960 he worked for Irving Oil trucking while home for the summer. For the winters of 1960 to 1964 he went back to Labrador each winter again working the snow removal crew.
Fred worked for Gerald Sarchfield from 1964 to 1968. There were many long days during those years. Fred was given videotape by Gerald covering some of this work and his family enjoyed seeing it.
In 1970 Fred returned to Labrador and stayed there until early 1978. During these years he worked as a logging contractor being self employed with a crew of men. When Fred left Labrador in 1978 he went to Prince Edward Island and owned and operated F. M. Pickett & Son's contracting wood cutting for Henderson Lumber Mill until 1984. In September of 1979 Fred married Charlotte (Pollock Crossman). Fred kept a crew of men working while Charlotte kept busy taking care of things at home. During the first two years the men working were all boarded in the home with them.
In 1984 Fred and Charlotte relocated to Havelock where they operated Pickett's Place restaurant and service station.
Fred made many friends in the area during this time and thoroughly enjoyed these friendships. Fred and Charlotte retired in 1992 but remained in Havelock until after a period of failing health for Charlotte they moved to Sussex in 1999.
Fred's could always be seen with his little Puppy 'Wendy' who was his constant companion for 13 years until the spring of 2004. She was a very special friend to Fred, everyone who knew him always looked for Wendy to be at his side and he never left her at home during this time. No matter where Fred was she was right there. If it was to your house to visit she sat at Fred's feet and waited to see what he would get her as a treat. If Fred was in a restaurant she would patiently wait in the car to see what he got her.
Fred was a member of the Royal Canadian Legion Havelock Branch #86.
