He was such a terrific Professor! He brought the learning out of the textbook and challenged us to think differently about what management education was all about. Sending my condolences to you all.

So very sorry to hear of Laird's passing. He was always a joy to work with and I am honoured to have known him (School of Business - Dal). My sincere condolences to the Mealiea family. He is missed. I HAD to spell out your name...one of the questions on his exams garnered a point for getting the spelling correct. Morven Fitzgerald Faculty of Management

Dear Barb & Family, I worked with Laird at the Rowe School of Business. He was such a lovely man, we had lots of chats when he came to my office. He was funny too. I recall I asked him what he was going to do when he retired. He told me about how he wanted to work on a science fiction book. He will be missed by all those who knew him. My thoughts are with you at this time. Viola Caume Administrative Manager Faculty of Management

Sharing just one memory is difficult when you have known someone for a long, long time. Our favorites include great conversations over many dinners...Laird always ordered the calamari; his presence at many, many parties, celebrations and family events...he was a great dancer and even had a signature move; and, beautiful evenings telling and retelling fishing tales while watching the sun set at the cottage. Good and happy memories. Marlene & Ron
