Some of Tim’s best memories include time spent with family and friends in Parry Sound for summer holidays and his annual duck hunt. He worked at the Kidd Creek Met Site until his retirement in 2004. Once retired, he moved to the cottage on Doyle Road at Kenogamissi Lake where he had a deep connection with nature, especially the birds and squirrels.
The family would like to thank all the dear friends and family who visited, sent kind words and offered support during his illness. A special thank you to the staff at the North East LHIN, Bayshore Home Health and Care partners and the TDH Hospice unit. He received such amazing care from EVERYONE at the Timmins and District Hospital. A special thank you to Liz Feldman and Dr. Chris Clark for their ongoing compassion and care for Tim. As per his wishes, cremation has taken place.
