Tim was born in England and came to Canada with his mother and father in 1948. Tim grew up in Elmwood and spent much time at the cottage, first at Bird Lake and then at Eleanor Lake.
Tim had a passion for restoring cars, and after retiring from Griffin Canada, meant more time to spend on this with his four-legged buddy, Jake.

Condolences & Memories (3 entries)

  • I am Esther, Tim's only living aunt. I guess I knew Tim longer than anyone. I shall miss him like everyone else who crossed his path. The best thing that happened to Tim was having his dog Jake, what a great companion he was. Should I tell you how spoiled Jake became. It was very interesting to watch. But Tim suffered he was in a lot of pain, he fought hard but it was not to be, and now he is at peace. Now joining his dad, mom and stepmom. He was a good guy and I am proud to call him my nephew. - Posted by: Esther Annable (Aunt) on: Jun 02, 2021

  • Had know Tim since the 70's. Spent many hours visiting over the years. He had his opinions and could not be swayed from his beliefs. All in all he was a very kind and compassionate man and I considered him to be a great friend. He will surely be missed by anyone who knew him - Posted by: Mike Wolyniec (friend) on: Apr 26, 2021

  • We were saddened to hear of Tim's passing too soon. He was a good man & friend. He was 1 of our group of friends who met at the Copa for coffee, pizza then went out to pursue other adventures. We recall the great time he had at our wedding social joyously expressing it by leaving at the end of it several times. He worked with my Dad who says he was 1 of the good ones. He will be missed. - Posted by: Jack & Kollinger (friends) on: Apr 25, 2021
