Girard was a kind and generous man. He was a herald by scadian trade, a Frenchman by proclivity, a gentleman by demeanor, and a good friend. When I joined the SCA in 1992, playing in the Colege of St. Bunstable, he was one of the few who took the time to show me Madrone, give me rides to events, and show me what good garb is all about.

From Quentin Martel

Girard was a kind and generous man. He was a herald by SCAdian trade, a Frenchman by proclivity, a gentleman by demeanor, and a good friend. When I joined the SCA in 1992, playing in the College of St. Bunstable, he was one of the few who took the time to show me Madrone, give me rides to events, and show me what good garb is all about.

One of my most cherished possessions is the herald's baldric that he willed to me. It is an honor to wear it in remembrance of this kind and gentle man.




My first experience with Girard came at a Madrone Baronial Banquet, let us just say his particular version of a heavy Texas accent took a while to get used to.

"Now Y'all wanna put 'em on the tables lack diss" as he explained to us how we were setting plates on a table.

It was quite a double take for all of us.

Over the years he was in Madrone either his accent mostly went away, or the rest of us just got so used to it we no longer noticed.

The stories are too numerous, the instinctive balance between incisive and kind can't be described. Punctilious to the last, he died just in time to get a good seat for Ascension. The cathedral canon understood our tales of him so well that cloth of gold vestments were used at his funeral."
