Not sure what to say?

We will always remember the great times we had with the Fayards at HBA activities. Whenever Hiram was there we always knew it would be a fun time because Hiram was the life of the party. His union with Diana produced those amazing children and along with their families will be Hiram's great legacy to this world.
Rest in Peace and God Bless your family. You will be sincerely missed.

What great memories, that trip to California and our trips to Las Vegas. You and Diana were family and Ill miss you.
Rest In Piece my FRIEND.

My sympathy to Diana and family,

So very sorry to hear of Mr. Fayards passing. My parents enjoyed their time living next door to Hiram and Diana in Lakeshore Estates. He will be missed.

My deepest sympathy to the family may Hod grant his peace to comfort the family at this difficult time.

Friends and family wishing to share their photos here, please do so. The entire family would be very happy to see them. Hiram was my grandfather, and I will miss him every day.

Hiram was one of my favorite contractor/customers! He was easy to work with and always showed a willingness to understand & try to resolve a problem together with whom ever he was working with. He was type of guy that had a magnetic and good natured personality and disposition! Most of all you could trust him at his word. He will be missed! Oh by the way on a social level, my wife & I can remember Hiram & Diana at Home Builder Association galas & conventions. They were a lot of fun to be...

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. Hiram was a kind and wonderful person and will
be missed.
