Georges Gaillard 1945 – 2009

Yesterday, I received a phone call letting me know that my cousin had just passed away from a cardiac arrest in the early hours of that day. He just had a favorable medical check-up and no time to say goodbye. While only 63, Georges had a full life, starting with serving in a peace-corps like program in Africa for two years before taking over the family bar and grocery store in Montriond, France, starting an on-slope crepe-stand for skiers and being actively involved in leading the local marching band and church choir. Our sincere and heartfelt condolences go to his wife Gisèle, his children Fabrice, Frédéric and Corinne, their spouses as well as all his grand kids.
