[quote]Pat Flynn of Tacoma is known as the mother of Relay For Life, which means most people know Dr. Gordon Klatt as the father of the event.
But Flynn says that doesn’t do him justice.
“He was way more than that ...” she said. “There is only one founder in the world of Relay For Life, and that is Gordy Klatt.”
“Gordy Klatt,” she said, “changed the face of the fight against cancer forever.”
The Tacoma surgeon died at age 71 Sunday, his family said, following a recent struggle with a heart condition.

shame :\
Hat day was the shit. We'd donate $1 to wear a hat in elementary school. That's all I remember. Sunglasses too.
Aww fuck, I just did relay for life at my school this year and it was the bomb but the teachers were dicks :( , It sucks that the founder died :(
At least he managed to pass the baton.
I remember raising money for this when I was younger. Rest in peace.
I remember going to a lot of these events, it's such a shame he's gone.
Went to one for the first time a few months ago, great event to support
