“ Although we only knew Mr. Laird (Big) for a little over a year, we loved him. He was one of the first ones to welcome us to the community. My husband baled hay with him on several occasions and liked to talk cattle together. He would drop by our place just to chat often and EVERY TIME he passed by our place he would honk. When we heard that horn honking, we knew exactly who it was. Our oldest son loved to honk back at him. “Big” helped us out many times. He was always smiling and always offered a leaning hand. Mr. Laird was one of the good ones and he will be missed….. ”
