friends spanning the many places Tim & Debbie lived and
travelled. Tim’s father Marven, predeceased him.
Tim graduated from Harkins High School in Newcastle,

Control Tower, followed by various management roles. He worked out of
several locations in Eastern Canada, most notably Ottawa, Moncton

Before and especially after retirement Tim’s other
key interest was travel. He and Debbie have found numerous
destinations, much of which has been explored using their motor coach,
and all of which has resulted in a vast network of friends across
North America. They shared a love for music and NASCAR, and would
always be on the look out for a good concert or race along the
way.
