Passing of Bill Girrier, 22nd CO

Posted byamartinez May 2, 2019March 24, 2020

Classmates,

Sadly, I must inform you that our classmate, Bill Girrier (22nd CO), passed away yesterday after a fight with cancer. A classmate and close friend described Bill as a “… Good guy, ethical Christian man….. devoted husband and father… an elegant gentleman…loving husband and father of two daughters.”

Please keep Bill’s wife, Denise, and his family in your thoughts and prayers.

I will keep you informed of any details concerning a memorial or funeral services.

Fair winds…

Glen
