Sympathy for the Baus family
Joan Baus, who you may know as one of the driving forces behind North Beach PAWS, lost her husband Gordon. He passed away last night after an illness. From Joan:
Services for Gordon Baus will be held Saturday at 11 a.m. at the Galilean Chapel. He was 68, and passed away after a long battle with leukemia, “he fought a hard fight,” said Joan. Gordon lived in Ocean Shores since July of 1999. He was active in PAWS, Ocean Shores Yacht Club, Elks Club. He worked at the Quinault Beach Resort in maintenance. Prior to that he worked in plumbing and heating for 30 years at the Highline School District.
He is survived by his wife of 23 years, Joan; mother Leona Baus; five brothers and sisters; daughter Kim Johnson and son Kevin Baus; step-daughter Jennifer Pearce; step-son Lance Perry and his wife Sue; and grandchildren Zech, Zeke, Blake, Jessica, Elizabeth and Erik.
“He was a wonderful man,” said Joan Baus.
“Thanks to the Ocean Shores Fire Department for their help. They were great.”
Donations in Gordon’s memory can be made to North Beach PAWS.

Gordon was a good man. For several years Gordon lit up his pontoon boat at Christmas and cruised Duck Lake come rain or shine. It was a pleasure to have know him!
