Jacqueline J. Ladum Oct. 18, 1928 - Dec. 7, 2019

A life well lived. 

 

91 years of extraordinary living marked by loving others and being loved in return. Jacqueline Joyce “Jackie” Ladum, a life-long resident of West Seattle, a superb mother of five, and devoted wife of six decades to Larry, will be remembered for her enduring kindness, joviality, commitment to her beloved family and friends, fantastic cooking and hospitality, and her love of life.

 

Robert George Sims Aug. 28, 1950 – Nov. 20, 2019

Longtime Northwest sportswriter and friend to just about everyone he ever met over a career in journalism and in the grocery warehouse industry for the former Unified/ Associated Grocers in Seattle. That one sentence can only begin to celebrate the character that Robert George Sims brought to a life of creative inspiration, always supporting and encouraging those who would come to know him as a friend or a family member.

Robert “Bob or Bubba” Sims passed away at home in his Federal Way apartment on November 20. 2019 due to an internal medical condition.

Gone for 23 years the Gai Family Christmas display is back

In the 1960's and in fact until 1996, there was one house if you were a fan of Christmas lights in West Seattle, that was a must.

The Gai family home in the 3200 block of 36th SW, owned by Phil and Dorothy Gai, of Gai's Bakery fame was iconic. The centerpiece was a statue of Mother Mary but the brick home itself is very wide and lights extend well beyond the middle out to the edges. Phil passed away in 2005.

The lights and other parts of the display were put in storage in 1996, apparently to live only in the hearts and memories of the thousands who loved them every year.

According to their next door neighbor, Ron Gai, their son and his siblings thought it was time to bring the lights back. Stored in Woodinville they were  put up in the last few days. Dorothy, now in her 90's still lives in the home.
