Bio-Rad Laboratories reports that a longtime member of its board of directors, Philip L Padou, passed away over the past weekend at the age of 72
Padou joined Bio-Rad's board of directors in 1980.
Prior to his retirement in 1991, he served as vice president and chief financial officer of Ozier Perry and Associates, a risk assessment software and consulting company, following more than 20 years in public accounting.
The company intends to find a suitable replacement for its board as soon as possible.
"Phil was a dedicated and valuable member of the Bio-Rad board of directors for almost 30 years," said chairman David Schwartz.
"We will miss him, and our thoughts are with his family at this time."
