Dr. Adrian was my ear nose throat Dr when I was young. He took me flying! Twice! He was a long time family friend and he was also there for me when my Mom passed away. He was very compassionate and I wish I had another chance to speak with him. My deepest condolences to his family. Thanks Doc!
Visiting this website for my father Vincent Rose's tribute page, I was surprised to see that "Uncle" Adrian had recently passed. I knew him many, many years ago, and always enjoyed his company, generosity, and he and Cher's hospitality. My heart-felt condolances to all the Cairns family.
I first met Adrain at East Jefferson ER when my oldest son was kicked in the face by a horse. He entered with Motor Cycle jacket on, helmet in hand and a smile. He and my son hit it off. For many years he treated my family. We would see each other around every now and then. He was a God send. He energized a room with his presence and made everyone immediately feel at ease. God bless your family. RIP Dr. Adrian Carins.
So sorry for the loss of Dr. Cairns. He was kind, gentle and compassionate. He put the first set of ET tubes in my oldest daughters ears 32 years ago. He used to make a funny face on a tongue depressor after a visit and give it to her! What a doll! Thank you for being in our lives so many years ago. Many sympathies and prayers to his family.
I will miss you much! I am so privileged and blessed that I got to know this sweet man, Adrian. I'm really going to miss our bible studies together.
My thoughts and prayers to the family.

So sorry. Good memories of a bunch of us going for daily lunch at Goodbee years ago. Four of those guys, Benny, Dennis, Sam, and now Adrian are having lunch together in a better place. Adrian used to tell us airport bums, "if you need to see me, call the office and tell the recdeptionist it's my psychiatrist calling and I'll know it's one of you guys". Once when I broke some ribs, I asked Adrian what I could do to help with the pain. He said: "Don't cough, don't laugh, and if you can do it, don't breathe either and then laughed". Good guy will be surely missed at Covington Vincent Airport.
Dr. Cairns took care of me and Jonathan during some trying times. He is deeply loved and appreciated!! Love, hugs, and prayers for Cher and Dr. Cairns family!! May God bring comfort and peace to those who mourn.
One of fondest memories was when we lost our dear Bob, a quacker parakeet. We buried him in our backyard. My husband was in tears and built a little cross & hung his favorite toy on it, a bell. Adrian came over with his Indian garb on and blessing tools and sang and danced and chanted Indian blessings on us. What an experience! Will miss him terribly. I was blessed to be with him the day he passed and spread holy water and massage his feet. A few days before I had visited, and he used to always kiss me three times and say"Was I Finished yet? " The last time he spoke to me, I kissed him 3 times and said " Were you finished yet?" I left him laughing.
My condolences to Cher and family.He was my good friend
.RIP
One of our favorite places to take Adrain was the beach. He loved being there with family and that was one of his favorite places to go. He loved walking in the early morning with us and sitting under the umbrella with his floppy hat and sunglasses. He enjoyed a good solo cup of wine on the beach with his toes in the sand and telling good stories.
