Tim moved to NWO from Odessa (Kingston area) in around 1980 landing in Manitouwadge, ON looking for work for Noranda – Iron Ore mining. There he met his future bride, Margie, married in June of 1982. Born and raised son Curtis and daughter Kayla in Manitouwadge and migrated to Balmertown for work in the gold mine. Tim loved speckle/rainbow trout fishing, camping, and baseball in Manitouwadge and was an avid Longhole Driller. After some thought, Tim decided moving to Balmertown with family was a good move, and help set up the Longhole Drilling at Campbell Mine. Here the kids were active in Hockey, Figure Skating, Baseball and Swimming. Tim did play baseball and coached kids hockey for a few years and enjoyed Curling, Golfing, Fishing in the Red Lake area. Family came first, Tim loved his family and Grandchildren so very much. He loved to talk, tell stories, and read all the Lois Lamour books over and over. Tim loved his drives in the bush, picking pin cherries and blueberries and hunting for grouse.

Tim was proud of mining and his accomplishments with a variety from Base metals in Manitouwadge, Gold in Balmertown, Potash in Saskatchewan and Diamond mining in the Yukon, along with using the Bore-Hole drills both in BC Hydro and at the Potash Mine. Full circle and back at Goldcorp as a Hoist Operator. Not to mention Tim was a Home Inspector and was very knowledgeable of building and repairing homes. He loved repairing and improving all his homes.

Tim loved his family, and cherished his grandchildren, Jordan, Everett, Kylie and Lilly. Tim was a great father, teacher, story teller, best husband ever and friend.

Tim will be missed by his family and friends but there are so many memories that will keep us smiling for years to come. I will miss you, my buddy…. and love you forever. Until we meet again….
