Laird's daughter Jessie Steinhoff called this morning and asked me to let you all know that Laird passed in his sleep at his home in Keremeos. Laird's career in the ski industry included lift maintenance and management at several ski areas including Whistler, Shames, Apex and Baldy. He was a true gentleman, and always willing to lend a hand fixing things.
Baldy was where Laird wanted to be, and thanks to this community, he was able to spend several of his retirement years on the mountain. Special thanks to Nathan Ondrus and Kevin Rand.
Laird is survived by his son Corby, Daughter Jessie(Brandyn), and two grandchildren. ( I haven't seen Corby for awhile, so I don't know if he has a family)
Below are some photos from my collection - if I find the others I am thinking of, I will add them later.

nice photos and thanks for the notification, I worked with Laird at Whistler/Blackcomb in the 80s when we were all young and foolish but had responsible jobs, but we somehow made it work. Rod
