Page 5A Kenneth Alford Michael ‘Mr. Mike’ McDaid Hermiston December 5, 1947 - October 22, 2017 Pendleton April 1, 1927 - October 20, 2017 Ken Alford, 69, of Herm- iston lost his struggle with COPD on Sunday, October 22, 2017. Ken was born on December 5, 1947, in Goldendale, Wash., the son of Thomas and Velda Alford. He grew up and attended school in The Dalles. He joined the Marine Corps in 1966 and proudly served for four years, including 13 months in Vietnam. Ken married the love of his life, Reta Cox, in Maupin, Ore., in 1979. Alford He helped raise his two stepsons, Stacey and Joseph, who he loved dearly and enjoyed teaching to fish and camp in the mountains. Ken worked many jobs, but he is best known for Alford’s Home Building & Remodeling, a construction business he owned and operated in Hermiston for 20 years. He totally remodeled their house one room at a time and made it their home. Ken enjoyed many hobbies such as wood- working, fabricating, mechanic work, golfing, four wheeling and fishing (espe- cially steelhead and salmon fishing on the Deschutes near Tygh Valley), and hunting for elk was his passion. He was preceded in death by his parents and loving natural grandpar- ents. He is survived by his wife of 38 years, Reta of Hermiston; stepsons Stacey Hammer of Pend- leton and Joseph Hammer of Echo; and two very special friends, Mark Born of Hermiston and Thomas Fisher, his Vietnam veteran friend from Cincinnati, Ohio.

He was born April 1, 1927, in Donegal, Ireland, to Henry and Maria (McLaughlin) McDaid. Mike grew up with 11 siblings in a traditional Irish Catholic family. He developed a strong work ethic in his childhood that carried on to his adult life as he could always be found working to support his family. In 1950 McDaid he decided to chase work in Manchester, England, where he did masonry work. While there he met the love of his life, Josephine Corcoran. In an effort to seek more oppor- tunity, Mike immigrated to the United States. He landed in Pilot Rock in 1958 to work as a sheep herder on the Doherty Ranch. He missed Josie who was still in England and mailed her a ring and proposal. She accepted and on February 27, 1960, he and Josie were wed at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Pendleton. Mr. Mike was known by many in the community; either from his custodial job with the Pendleton School District, through St. Mary’s Catholic Church or in more recent years his “exercise” walking the aisles of Wal-Mart. He was an incredibly social person that loved to dance; he did not stay strangers with anyone for long. Perhaps having been born on April Fool’s Day is what made him a jokester; you could always count on him for a joke or good story. His faith was very important to him and was a long- time member of St. Mary’s Catholic Church along with being a member of the Knights of Columbus. He is survived by his loving wife, Josie McDaid of Pendleton; children Mary McDaid of Portland, Jon (Heather) McDaid of Portland, Ed (Nisa) McDaid of Amboy, Wash., and Jodi (Mike) Gaffney of Seattle, Wash.; and seven grandchildren. Rosary will be held at Burns Mortuary of Pendleton at 7 p.m. on Friday, October 27, 2017. Mike was an active member of the community and would love for those who knew him to celebrate his life through a Mass of Christian Burial at St. Mary’s Catholic Church at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, October 28, 2017. Burial at Olney Cemetery at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, October 28, 2017. Luncheon will follow in the parish hall. All are welcome. Burns Mortuary of Pend- leton is in charge of arrange- ments.

In 2011, Buck made the journey from Missouri to Oregon with his brother, Nick, three mules and their dog. In the book, Buck provides an account of their journey — which made them the first wagon travelers in more than a century to complete a crossing of the trail — and shares the fascinating history of American emigrants who traveled across the country in the 1840s, and the people they met along the way. The book was released in paperback on June 7, 2016. Buck began his career in journalism at the Berkshire Eagle and was a longtime staff writer for the Hartford Courant. He has written for Vanity Fair, New York, Life and many other publica- tions. In addition, his work has won the PEN New England Award, the Eugene S. Pulliam National Journalism Writing Award and the Society of Professional Journalists Sigma Delta Chi Award. In addition to the Oregon Trail book, Buck has authored “Flight of Passage” and “First Job.” He resides in northwest Connecticut.
