Bord Richard Langvold, age 63, went home to be with his Lord on Feb. 28.

He passed away peacefully at home.

He was born in Seattle on June 24, 1952.

Bord lived for his children, family, many friends and loved ones.

He was our protector, always looking out for us, teaching us lessons and giving forgiveness with a willingness to always help others.

His great smile, twinkling eyes and charm was loved by all.

He is survived by his children Kirstin Marie (Paul Tennis, Lilly and Gavin), Bord Erik and Leif Gunnar Langvold and sister Helen Langvold, as well as by family in Norway: Tante Bjorg; cousins Aase, Bjorn, Tor and Rigmor; and several others.

His Norwegian Heritage had great meaning to him. “I am a Viking,” he always said.

Bord received his pin and plaque for 30 plus years of outstanding service with the Washington State Ferry System.

You will be missed but not forgotten.

A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. March 25 at Philadelphia Church in Ballard, 7704 24th Ave. NW, Seattle.

All are welcome to celebrate and remember his amazing life. Family and friends are encouraged to share memories and condolences at www.whidbey memorial.com
