Assemblyman William Colton stated, “Here was a gentle man, an active member of the community and a loving husband, father and grandfather. He will be sorely missed not only by his family but by all that knew him.”
Givant died at the Beth Israel Medical Center-Kings Highway Division.
He is survived by his wife; son, Bruce, also an active member of the UPDC; daughter, Marlene; son-in-law, Michael Starr; three grandchildren: Amanda, 19, Gregory, 17, and Brook Starr 6; and his brother and sister-in-law, Gene and Ruth Givant.
