Notice
November 6, 2017 |
Professor John Cairns, Jr. passed peacefully on November 5,
2017 at the age of 94 with his daughter Karen at his side.
Preceded in death by his wife Jean Ogden Cairns and survived
by daughters Karen Cairns, Heather Cairns Chambers (Carl),
sons Stefan (Nan) and Duncan (Deborah Foster). Further
survived by grandchildren Moria, Laura and Joel Chambers,
Hannah Cairns and Shannon Huecker. John will be remembered
as a husband, father and grandfather, distinguished
professor and academic mentor, ecological pioneer, prolific
author, champion of social consciousness and sustainability,
fly fishing enthusiast, avid hiker, experienced folk dancer
and proud US Navy veteran of World War II. I will continue to maintain
his website so his writings are available, although there
will not be new content. I will continue to add pictures and
other things as I get them or find them . If you have
any questions, address them to
