Dear Pickering Family, We at Belles and Associates wish to express of sincere condolences in your time of grief. I am sorry not to be able to attend the funeral as I am working out of town and Don Belles just had knee surgery on Friday and is still under the weather. On a personal note it was a privelage to have know John and I will never forget the time he took to try and teach a ‘kid’. From: Kris Ibarra, Brad Rogg, Harlan Gile, and myself David C. Wiard
