    A celebration of the life of Paul Frederick “Pops” Bickford will be 2:12 pm Thursday, April 18, 2013, at First Baptist Church.  Family and close friends will know the service time is reflective of how Paul often enjoyed arriving just a few minutes behind schedule—twelve minutes seem appropriate since that number was the one he often chose.
