LAIRD W. CRAWFORD

October 20, 1940 – October 1, 2019

With my loving wife Erma by my side to bid me farewell, I will begin my journey into the spirit world without fear. Life has been good to us both, for we have been partners for 52 years and married for 47+ years. It is hard to leave all that behind, but who knows what lies ahead? Is there another dimension beyond this one; will my spirit be free to roam like a wandering Zen monk?

Predeceased by dad Dave and mom Betty, survived by brother Frank (Christian). Note Gilles – “Sometimes, good things come to those who wait”.

To my friends (you know who you are) and all of Erma’s great family who accepted me into theirs, it was a pleasure to know you all! The old song that says, “So long, it’s been good to know you, but I’ve gotta be driftin’ along” is appropriate here. I must thank the kind members of the MAID team who were so professional in providing the ‘peace of mind’ to endure all that had to be done before my final but dignified ‘exit’ from this most undignified condition. Thanks also to the doctors who provided back up for my request; they shall go unnamed. To my good brother Frank, sorry I disappointed you by not letting myself be ‘saved’ for I have never been a ‘believer’. As I stated previously, I have no fear about what, if anything, is about to come.

To my good buddies, in remembrance of me sometime, tip one up, spark one up or both, your choice, life’s too short, so enjoy it while you still can. Adios, amigos!

Cremation has taken place. My ashes will be scattered at a later date according to my wishes, no service being planned, approve, or provided by myself.
