It is with sadness that we are writing to let you know that Greg Bechard passed away on September 3rd.

Greg's cancer returned more than a year and a half ago. Laurie provided an update at the end of July that his treatments were going well, so news of his passing came as a shock to us.

We do not need to tell those reading this who Greg was. His impact on the developmental services sector, and especially on Elmira District Community Living, was immense. He was a visionary and an innovator who always believed that people with intellectual disabilities deserved every opportunity to lead full, meaningful lives.

Greg’s sons and Laurie are planning a Celebration of Life in Ontario. We will share details when we receive them.

Our thoughts are with Laurie and Greg’s family at this time. ❤️
