CHARLES McLAUCHLAN Obituary

McLAUCHLAN Sr., CHARLES LESLIE Charles Leslie McLauchlan Sr., 61, passed away June 14, 2010, after a long and brave battle with cancer. Mr. McLauchlan was born February 25, 1949, in San Diego, CA to Charles and Freda McLauchlan. He graduated from Herbert Hoover High School in 1967. He moved to Oregon where he raised a family in the rural town of Butte Falls, OR. He enjoyed vintage tractors and automobiles. He LOVED to talk! This was his most endearing, and at times his most frustrating, attribute. He was immensely proud of his children and considered them his life's legacy. Mr. McLauchlan is survived by his devoted soul mate, Sue Corrie and her daughters Kasey and Olivia Clark; daughters, Heidi Daniels, Elizabeth Lutz and Kimberly Price; sons, Charlie McLauchlan, Michael McLauchlan and Andrew McLauchlan; sons-in-law, Travis Daniels, Derek Lutz and Brian Price; and two grandchildren, Talese Price, and Brooklyn Lutz (due June 21, 2010). Memorial service details to be determined.
