Lars Giers
Lars passed away peacefully at home in the early morning hours of 9/22/25. He was 87 years old.
Born in Malmo, Sweden, he grew up in Sollentuna, a suburb of Stockholm. After interning in Germany, he graduated in 1958 from the Stockholm Technical Institute with a degree in electrical engineering. He came to the U.S. in 1962 on a work visa to work for an engineering firm in Stamford, Ct. After his visa expired, he returned to Sweden but found the U.S. much more to his liking. He emigrated permanently and legally to the United States and eventually became a U.S. Citizen. He worked for various engineering firms before starting his own company – INMARK, in Norwalk, Ct. He traveled the world meeting with his suppliers and customers.
After retiring, he moved to Cape Coral in 2010 with his wife Kathi, spending many hours on his boat. He was active in the New Residents Club and spent many years volunteering at City Hall with Seniors vs. Crime.
He is survived by his wife, Kathi Giers, a brother and 2 sisters in Sweden, a son Eric Giers, a stepdaughter Karla Yankowski, 3 grandchildren, and 2 great-grandchildren. He was predeceased by a granddaughter and a stepdaughter.
A lifelong boater, his ashes will be scattered in the Gulf of America.
