It is with deep sadness that His Majesty’s Loyal Opposition and Opposition
Senate acknowledge the recent passing of Dr. William F. Pickard.
Dr. Pickard was a renowned entrepreneur, author, education advocate,
mentor, and philanthropist. He was appointed Honorary Consul for the
Bahamas to Detroit in 2020.
During his tenure as Honorary Consul, Dr. Pickard initiated a one-million-
dollar scholarship fund at Florida A&M University, which gave Bahamian
students an opportunity to study agriculture. Such students were also able
to enjoy a paid internship with Midwest Farm Consortiums. The Bahamas is
forever grateful for his service.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Dr. Pickard’s family during this time of
bereavement.
May he rest in peace.
Hon. Darren Henfield
Senator
