He received his education in rural country schools in Deerfield Township in rural Chickasaw County, IA. The Pickar family farmed in the Deerfield area and Jim learned how to work hard at a very young age. He never really retired. In 1954, Jim met the love of his life, Rosalie Kriener, at a dance in Spillville, IA. The couple was married on June 25, 1957, at St. Luke's Catholic Church in St. Lucas, IA. To this union; three children were born. Jim and Rosie farmed north of New Hampton until 1982 when the couple moved into their current New Hampton home. Jim continued farming by working for several area farmers and then took the maintenance position at St. Joseph Parish and School. For the last eight years, Jim was the head groundskeeper for the New Hampton City Cemetery. Jim will be remembered as an avid outdoorsman, his love for hunting, fishing, farming and mowing his lawns. Jim took great pride in the manner the cemetery was maintained. Jim knew how to do so much and could fix anything, even building his daughter's home and butchering his own meat. Jim cherished the time he spent with his family, especially his grandchildren. Jim walked thousands of miles at the Chickasaw Wellness Center and in town. He was known to have said that he walked across the United States and half way back. Survivors include his wife of 56 years, Rosalie; one son, Rick (Lois) Pickar of Lawler; two daughters, Cindy (Tom) Zeien, Janet (Tony) Schwickerath all of New Hampton; eight grandchildren, Dawn (C.J.
