Woodford C. (Woodie) Cushman died of natural causes on Sept. 13 at the Westerly Hospital in Westerly, R.I. He was 91.

He was born Jan. 31, 1932. He led an eventful life of travel, gardening, feeding wildlife and birdwatching. He was an Air Force veteran who was stationed in Greenland during the Korean conflict.

Prior to moving to Rhode Island, he lived on Martha’s Vineyard for many years and where he has many friends. If he wasn’t working, he was usually found at the Edgartown fire department as a volunteer fireman or at the Rod and Gun Club, where he was a member.
