      He leaves to mourn his eight children: Doris Fay, Fern Picton (Kathleen Bell), Jackie (Dennis) Major, Andrea (Robert) Van Damme, Leonie (Ken) Cabernel, Norbert (Lucette), Lorraine Picton (Marcel Hardy), Richard (Lianne) Picton and daughter-in-law Joanne Picton, his 25 grandchildren: Micheline, Rachelle, Normand, Gilbert, Gabriel, Elizabeth, Jennifer, Jeremy, Andrew, Joanna, Jason, Tracy, Bryson, Curtis, Ashley, James, Michel, Nicholas, Nicole, Dylan, Logan, Taryn, Cody, Kieran and Mason and 35 great-grandchildren.

      Michel was predeceased by his wife Cécile Picton (née Poirier), his son Alain Picton in 2000, his daughter Lucille at infancy, his son-in-law Gerald Fay, his parents, Michel and Anais Picton, his brothers and sisters, Denis, Marie (Albert) Rosset, Robert, Elie, George (Muriel), Louis, and his in-laws, Omer, Rose Aimé, Simone, Omer, Denise and Gérard.
      Dad was born in Haywood on November 3, 1927. He was the oldest of 13 children. He married Mom in 1951 and farmed for a few years and then worked on the pipeline as a welder.

In Somerset, he helped to move houses with Pantel’s, then BA Oil, and then he worked for the Village of Somerset as the Superintendent, Water Treatment Plant operator, as well as special constable working with the RCMP. He was a jack of all trades, a Knight of Columbus, an Elk and served on many boards in the Somerset Community. Michel was an active member at the Notre Dame de la Nativité Catholic Church in Somerset for many years and will be missed. He enjoyed being with his large family, having nine children, 25 grandchildren and 35 great-grandchildren. He has left a large memorable legacy.
