Additional Obit Info
Gordon H. Bald passed away on June 2, 2014 in Briody Health Care Facility. Born in Lockport on May 13, 1930, he was the son of Herbert and Mildred (Zimmerman) Bald.
Gordon graduated from Lockport High School with a degree in vocational machine shop. After serving with distinction in the Korean War as a Staff Sergeant in the U.S. Marine Corp., he worked for a while afterwards building up his engineering skills. In 1955 he, along with two other good friends, started Diversified Manufacturing, which continues to be a thriving business today providing jobs for many people.
He loved sailing and was a former fleet captain in the Olcott Yacht Club. He was an avid runner who has done several thirteen mile runs, a clever inventor and woodworker, a lover of nature and classical music, golf and anything challenging. His favorite expression was “Just take the bull by the horns!” He had a playful childlike sense of wonder, an adventurous spirit and enthusiasm for life. He was considered by all who knew him as the most caring, loving, kind, honest, industrious, generous man to ever walk this earth.
Gordon is survived by his beloved wife of 39 years Glorian, daughters Deborah (Terrence) Gallagher, Dr. Susan (Peter) Marion, sons David (Anne) Bald and Robert (Diana) Bald; stepdaughters Judy (Charles) Weidenborner, Sharon (Chet) Basiewicz, Susan (Peter) Holguin, Dawn Hammond, stepsons Larry (Peg) Simons and Ronald Simons. Also grandchildren Nathaniel Gallagher, Elizabeth (Gallagher) Chesko, Andrew Gallagher, Kyle Gallagher, Carly Corriere, Rain Bald, Gordon A. Bald, Nichaela Bald, Austin Bald, Lee Marion, Dean Marion, Gregory Brock, Stephanie Brock, Paul Greiner, Drew Brigham and Spencer Brigham, and several great-grandchildren.
A memorial service for family and friends will be held Saturday, June 7 at 11 a.m. at Trinity Lutheran Church, 67 Saxton Street, Lockport. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the charity of one’s choice to honor Gordon’s generous spirit. Visit www.pruddenandkandt.com.
