"UNCLE CHARLIE" CAIRNS, 102, passed away peacefully on Monday, July 1, 2013, while on vacation in Osseo, Mich. He was born on Aug. 7, 1910, in Woodburn. Charlie was a golfer, skier, folk dancer, walker, and bicycler well into his 90's. He had been a member of the Seattle Mountaineers and continued his membership in the Washington Alpine Club. He served in the Army in the South Pacific during World War II. Uncle Charlie was an astute Bridge player and a member of the ACBL. One of his favorite memories was walking from Valdez, Alaska to the Kennecott Copper Mine where he and four friends were promised jobs "if they could get there".They walked for 30 days through the snow following a telegraph line. At that time, there were no roads or buildings along that 200 mile trek. When the mine closed, Charlie worked in the salmon canning industry in Alaska and Seattle. He remained in Seattle until 2010 when he returned to Indiana to live with his sister, Marjorie Bercot. "His sense of humor gave joy to others. His family and friends will miss him." Surviving are his sister, Marjorie; and a multitude of nieces and nephews (many related). He was preceded in death by his sisters, Mae Cairns, Ella Dewispelaere, Evelene Bennett, and Cathleen Burnett. He will buried in Hicksville, Ohio near his father, Ray Cairns, mother Ruth (Hole) Cairns, and sister, Mae.
