ACF Welcomes Two New Board Members

Irv Pickler Remembered

Longtime Anaheim Community Foundation board member, Irv Pickler, passed away this week at age 98.

His service to Anaheim and our country is truly inspiring. He was a parent, husband, World War II veteran, Anaheim city council member, community volunteer, and so many other things to so many people.

In 2015, the ACF board of directors unanimously named Irv Pickler “Board Member Emeritus.” Irv Pickler’s lifelong efforts to make Anaheim a great place to live, learn, work, and play will never be forgotten.

The Pickler family asks that donations in honor of Irv Pickler go to the Anaheim Community Foundation. Please visit our donation page and type in “Irv Picker” in the PayPal donation form: anaheimcf.org/donate
