This is my Fathers Obituary, it will be in the Bellingham Herald this weekend. Many friends don't live in the area so I thought I would put it out this way.
Gordon A Laird was born April fools day 1928. He passed away August 18, 2013 with his children, good friend Elaine Wolf and other friends and relatives at his side. He lived a full life by his own rules. He loved his grandchildren and great grandchildren and always told them to "Save your money", advice he never took. "Gordy" never met a stranger. He would always offer his opinion, whether it was wanted or useful. He was never shy or embarrassed, some thought him a little abrasive, but most loved him. If you were in need he would give you the shirt off his back. He will leave a big hole in many peoples lives. We would like to thank Whatcom Hospice, the staff on the 4th floor at Saint Joseph's and Dr Sharf and staff for the wonderful compassionate care they gave dad. He did not want a funeral or memorial service, but he never followed the "rules" so we won't either. We will have a time of remembering Gordy Laird on Monday the 26th at 3:00 at Lairmont Manor, 405 Fieldstone Rd. Please carpool if possible as parking is limited. In lieu of flowers please consider a donation to Whatcom Hospice Foundation, 2901 Squalicum Parkway, Bellingham 98225.
Gordon is survived by his children; Jack (D'Linda) Laird, James (Jeanette) Laird and Nancy Braam
Grandchildren; Ric (Mary) Wilson, Scott (Cynthia) Laird, Rusty (Jamie) Laird, Andrea (Arthur) Pannell, Jeff (Laura) Laird, Jennifer (Grant) Bell, Asa (Tressa) Braam and Lauren Braam 21 great grandchildren and 2 great great grandchildren.
