Condolences & Memories (10 entries)

• There isn't a day that passes that we don't think of you Kirk. Anytime I come back to Winnipeg to visit I always feel an emptiness at the house. This summer wasn't the same without you. What I wouldn't do to get to properly say goodbye and thank you for everything you've done for us. Rest in peace beautiful soul. I love you forever. - Posted by: Cihan (step daughter ) on: Sep 08, 2014

• Kirk was my best friend in my boyhood. We grew up together at 'The lake'. He had such a gift for finding adventure in the simplest things in life. Memories: Tree fort, a gang of boys in tin boats, rock climbing, imitations, tag on a log boom, Coney Island store, pinball, cigarettes, playing army, pig latin, 12 o'Clock Midnight (an outdoor game of hide & seek with girls), Hockley's abandoned cottage (which we turned into a clubhouse), Wright movie theater in Keewatin, jokes, harmonica (he taught me how to play), Aggravation (game), Suzan Bowes (we flipped a coin who would kiss her first - Coming of age). Such wonderful memories. I was blessed to have him as my best friend. - Posted by: Cameron Forlong (Freind) on: Mar 01, 2014

• I have known Kirk since we were both in our twenties - seems like just yesterday. He was a good friend, always kind, empathetic and humorous. I am thankful that I knew him and he was a part of my life, as I was a part of his. Safe passage, dear friend. - Posted by: Jackie Herner (Friend) on: Feb 26, 2014

• My sincerest sympathies to you Selma and your family. I just heard of Kirk's passing. He was one who I always looked forward to talking with at the hospital. His sense of humour, his passion for what he believed in was one of a kind. We joked around every day but I also got to know his serious side and was honored to be invited to your wedding. He will be missed by everyone who was blessed in knowing him. - Posted by: Gordon Tye (friend) on: Feb 24, 2014

• Dear Kirk ol' friend - you have a new show and a new stage. And I just bet that you'll find a way to script in that wry sense of humour that I remember as your trademark. We lost touch, but some connections don't die. That I know. So all the best to you in this next act. It's tough for those here who have to bid adieu, and my heart goes out to each one of them. And of course, many of us are not far behind you. Bye for now. - Posted by: Kirk Laidlaw (friend) on: Feb 24, 2014

• Kirk was one of my students at Fort Richmond Collegiate many years ago. I always looked forward to his entrance into the classroom where he entertained us with his numerous accents and jokes. I even had the pleasure of seeing him on the MTC stage. I've thought about him from time to time and always smiled at the memories. My condolences to everyone who knew him. - Posted by: John fast (Science Teacher) on: Feb 24, 2014

• I am sorry to hear of the passing of Kirk. I had the opportunity to get to know him back in the mid 1970's when I moved to Winnipeg from Regina. Having shared living quarters with him for a time, I got to be close to him and always appreciated his candor and unique and humorous way of looking at life. I enjoyed his ability to call on any number of foreign accents and become that character. I had lost most contact with him over the years, but he always seemed keep in touch in some small way, most recently to have some house work done. He was still the humorous character I had met all those years ago and he will be missed by myself and many. - Posted by: Dennis Boey (Friend) on: Feb 23, 2014

• I don't think Kirk ever said anything to me that he didn't mean. He was truly a straight shooter. I admired that. I am sorry to hear of his passing. My condolences to all those who will miss him. - Posted by: Bill Marce (Friend) on: Feb 23, 2014

• I met Kirk only within the last couple of years and was impressed with his unbounded curiousity coupled with a friendliness that was very open. He wanted to learn and meet new people to get there. Very impressive dude you were Kirk, you will be missed - Posted by: Patrick (Friend) on: Feb 23, 2014
