Businessman A.W. Pickel came into this world in the charming community of Xenia, Illinois. He devoted himself to his studies early-on and graduated four years later from the University of Illinois with a Bachelor’s degree in accounting. Mr. Pickel will never forget his time at the University of Illinois because he met his wife Diane there.

Meeting the love of his life

A.W. Pickel, III and his wife Diane did not always know that they would eventually marry. The two were very close friends from the start; but, it took a while for Cupid to strike. Believe it or not, A.W. used to seek dating advice from Diane when he was still a single man. One day, however, Mr. Pickel began to understand the obvious—that he and Diane were meant to spend the rest of their lives together. The couple has enjoyed every moment of their marriage and will continue to grow closer every day.

A long distance romance

A.W. and Diane both belonged to a missions organization called the Navigators while they were attending the University of Illinois. Their involvement with this group unfortunately kept them apart for a while, as they were each staffed at different universities. They would often go for quite some time without seeing each other; and they had to rely mainly on calls and letters to stay in touch. Although they certainly missed each other during those days, neither of them would have traded their time with the Navigators for the world. Having the chance to help others and share their faith was truly an unforgettable experience.

Mr. Pickel, devoted father and grandfather

A.W. Pickel, III is the father of four beautiful daughters, who are all grown up now. His girls have provided him with a total of three new grandchildren. Their ages range from six-months-old to two-years-old. A.W. and his wife Diane are both thrilled to have such adorable grandchildren in their lives. They spent as much as they can of their free time babysitting and laughing at all the funny things that their little ones do. The Pickels value their family time more than anything else on earth.

His wife Diane has even come to look forward to their flights together. They have had many romantic adventures through the years.

A.W. and Rotary International

A.W. Pickel, III, III is a devoted member of Rotary International and has even served as President of his local chapter, of which he is a charter member.

Whenever A.W. gets a call about someone needing medical transport, he just hops in his four-seater airplane and takes to the sky.

C.S. Lewis and Mr. Pickel’s faith

The renowned, Irish-born C.S. Lewis is one of A.W.’s favorite authors. Lewis is famed not only for his works of fiction, but also for his furthering the fields of theology and Christian apologetics. As a public intellectual, C.S. Lewis sought to inform the world about the truth behind religion and about the many benefits of living a Christian lifestyle.

In his book Mere Christianity, C.S. Lewis explores the ways that one could make a “case for Christianity.” He argues that all human beings are equipped with an inherent sense of morality that is universally present, despite a person’s upbringing or culture. Lewis believed that, in accordance with biblical scripture, the God of Christianity has written these ethical laws and sensibilities on the hearts of all men and women.

Another of Mr. Pickel’s favorite writers is the author of the Lord of the Rings trilogy J.R.R. Tolkien. A.W. has always enjoyed the fantasy literature genre. Reading one of Tolkien’s books helps him to stretch his imagination. He finds that the experience of pondering an enchanted land with a whole set of otherworldly characters also helps him to relax at the end of a long workday.

A great wine connoisseur
