Charles Joseph "Joe" Cain
Charles
Joseph "Joe" Cain has passed on. He had just celebrated his 80th
birthday in November. He was a joyful and funny person who began life in
Spokane, Wash., born to Agnes and Joe Cain. He attended Gonzaga Prep
and Seattle University before transferring to the University of Washington
to study pre-med. After fainting during two observed surgeries, he
decided to change his major to Economics. He was a member of Phi Delta
Theta Fraternity. Joe was a pilot in the Air Force during the Korean
War. His eyesight wasn't good enough to qualify for pilot training, so
he ate carrots for several days before the eye test and surprisingly
passed. He began a career with NCR after leaving the AF. Many moves
later he and Joan and their four children, Heidi, Mike, Jim and Colleen
settled in Santa Barbara, Calif. For the last 24 years he lived in Palm
Desert working as a Realtor, which he thoroughly enjoyed. He was
preceded in death by his sister, Margo; and his parents. He is survived
by his four children and nine grandchildren. There will be a burial at
Riverside National Cemetery on December 27, 2011 at 12:15 PM. A memorial
service will follow at the Mission Inn in Riverside.
