In Memory of Len Girard, Our Fellow Board Member and Friend

It is with a heavy heart that we share the news of the passing of our dear friend and fellow board member, Len Girard. His absence leaves a void not only on our Board but in the lives of everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him.

We offer these reflections to honor the incredible man he was. Len’s life was defined by three core values: love, laughter, and generosity. His love for his family and friends was unwavering, his laughter infectious, and his generosity boundless. Len brought joy to everyone around him, lifting spirits and sharing moments of humor and warmth. His laughter was a daily presence, and it was impossible not to join in when he was around.

Len was also a successful business owner, having led Girard Engineering for many years. He had a passion for golf, enjoying countless rounds with friends and family, and he was a steadfast supporter of his loved ones, especially his grandchildren. These qualities—his love for family, his joy in life, and his deep sense of generosity—defined the way he lived and the way he will be remembered.

Len’s legacy will continue to inspire us, and he will be deeply missed.

Rest in peace Len, but also with the knowledge that you made the world so much better for so many.
