It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of our friend, brother, confidant, colleague, and partner in crime, Paul Blanchard, after a long and courageous battle.
As a Coordinator for the North Atlantic States Carpenters Training Fund, Paul dedicated his career to supporting and mentoring countless apprentices, members, and instructors. His passion for the trade, commitment to training, and unwavering support of those around him helped shape the future of our organization and the carpentry industry.
Paul was an incredibly important part of our family, and his presence, friendship, and spirit touched the lives of so many. He was always willing to lend a hand, share a laugh, and support those who needed him most. It is difficult to imagine a world without him in it.
While words cannot fully express the loss we feel, we take comfort in the memories, friendships, and lasting impact Paul leaves behind. His legacy will live on through the many lives he influenced throughout his career.
Please keep Paul's family, friends, and loved ones in your thoughts as we navigate the days and weeks ahead.
Rest easy, Paul. You will be deeply missed, forever remembered, and always a part of our family.
