Paul Bickham Sr. passed away at the ripe age of 94 on Sunday, May 26, 2013 at Bogalusa Medical Center.

He was a veteran of World War II, a devoted father and husband, and undoubtedly a hard working man.

He was preceded in death by his adoring mother, Mammie Stuckey; his wife, Esther Lee Bickham; and three children, Paul Bickham Jr., Jeanette Mary Gordon and Eunice Lee Hinkson.

Funeral services will be held Saturday, June 1 at 1 p.m. in the chapel of Crain & Sons Funeral Home in Bogalusa, with Bishop Howard Quillen officiating.
