I am saddened to hear of Girard's passing. We were friends from elementary through high school. After high school, we never saw each other again. I deeply regret that we did not know each other as adults.

To The Family

Girard was one of the first people I met when I moved here from NY. We became friends right away. That was 50 yrs ago we have remained friends in all these yrs. I'm blessed to say I was one of his dancing partners. Believe me when I say I truly will miss him. When ever I go in the Temple I will be looking for him sitting there with his pool stick. I hope they have a pool table in heaven for that's where he'll be, waiting for his turn to play. Know that Girard has a lot of friends that will miss him and I'm one of them. May God Bless and Give You The Strength.
