Senate Joint Resolution 151 honors the memory of Felix Guignard, a talented musician and composer from Johnson City, who recently passed away. Born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, in 1927, Guignard developed a passion for music at a young age, influenced by his family's musical background. He had a distinguished career, performing for notable figures such as the President of Haiti and Vice President Richard Nixon, and later playing in prestigious venues across the United States and the Caribbean. Guignard was not only a skilled pianist but also an accomplished linguist, which aided his musical endeavors.

The resolution reflects on Guignard's legacy of integrity, compassion, and dedication to his craft and family. He is remembered for his contributions to the local community through performances and his commitment to family values. The General Assembly expresses its condolences to his surviving family members, including his life partner, children, and siblings, while recognizing the impact of his life and work on those around him.
