L.C. Baird of Lancaster, formerly of Frisco, Texas, passed away on December 1, 2023. Born in Merkel, TX, L.C. was the son of the late Lloyd Clarence and Geneva Juanita (Hammack) Baird. A graduate of Abilene High School, Class of 61' and was president of the FFA club, achieving a champion pig trophy, which he still displayed in his home office, never forgetting his humble roots.
After graduating high school, L.C. began his career in telecommunications at Motorola in El Paso, TX in the early 1970's. He climbed up the corporate ladder and worked for Peter Kiewit, MFS, and lastly, Allegiance Telecom in Dallas where he retired in the early 2000s where he retired as President.
Stating L.C. loved the Dallas Cowboys is an understatement as he was their ultimate fan, getting to watch their winning game the night before he passed. He also loved his dogs, Gringo and Principe as well as his electric 3-wheeler which he affectionately called "Mamacita." His true heart and devotion remained with his family, especially his grandchildren and great grandchildren.
