Seattle Base member Charles Quimby departed on eternal patrol on March 23, 2020.
Charles was born on July 21, 1936 to Fred and Francis Quimby of Everson WA in their family home. After graduating from Mount Baker High School, Charles went into the Navy as a submarine sailor. He qualified on USS Diodon (SS-349) in 1958, and also served on USS Aspro (SS-309). After his service, Charles went to work for the Northern Pacific Railroad and eventually retired from BNSF in 2998 with 41 years of railroad service. Charles spent his retirement years gold panning, gardening, beekeeping, and discovering his spirituality.
Charles will be loved and missed by surviving wife Jerrylann; sons Keven and Keith; daughter-in-law Karen; and grandsons Lucas, Jon, and Ian.
At Charles request, a small family gathering was held to celebrate his life.
Sailor, Rest Your Oar.
