Left the Range - Doug Giraud

I received word that Doug Giraud passed away from heart attack, I know he was planning on being at Camp Perry for the CMP matches starting next week. I believe his son John Giraud will be continuing his business. Services will be the week on Aug. 3, after his friends return from Camp Perry...

Wow, sorry to hear that. I do like my trimmer and haven’t had the need to interact with him except once.

Condolences to his family and May healing come soon to them.

Glad his son is reputed to be taking over. This is his father’s legacy after all.

Sad day. Great trimmers

Rest in peace Doug, you will be missed.

When I ordered my trimmer he answered and I said "Holy cow it's really you?"
He said he gets that a lot.
RIP dude. Play with my dogs till I get there.

Rest in Gods arms.

Oh. Damn.

His wife pre-deceased him.

What a solid dude.

I wish his sons well.

Last time I called I think I spoke with his wife.
That is sad news all around.

Same experience here. Glad someone will run with it from here, also.

Sad to hear. I've used his trimmer for a number of years . Whenever I had a question and gave him a call, he was nice to talk to.

He revolutionized trimming

RIP
I interacted with him twice (once to order and once to get my trimmer reconditioned), and it was a simple process to send him my trimmer and have him recondition it. He did it for free and included new wrenches. Sorry to hear of his passing.

That's terrible.

Same here. When I placed my order it was a bit late coming. I called to confirm they got my order and he acknowledged, then apologized because he had been in a wreck (road was iced over and he had a broken leg as I recall). He went out of his way to make sure I understood everything I needed for my multi-cal setup, and got the stuff sent right away. I was impressed with how he handled everything.

Man, hate to hear this. I just ordered my trimmer from him a couple of months ago. I was down near where he lives and thought I'd stop by and just pick it up but he said he's had some crazy people stop by and preferred to ship it. He seemed like such a great guy. Hope his son does continue the business.
