Great Uncle to Soleyma. Tim crammed many lifetimes into the space of one: master mariner, house-builder, wine maker, world traveller, Velocette enthusiast, Search & Rescue hovercraft Captain for the Canadian Coast Guard, and finally, his proudest accomplishment, owner-operator, with his wife Sue, of Thetis Air, a float plane operation travelling between the Gulf Islands and Vancouver. He never saw obstacles, only challenges. This was a man who seized the day and lived every moment to the fullest. Nowhere was this more apparent that during the last year and half, as, with humour, dignity and courage, he played out the hand that fate had dealt him. Nothing so became him in life as the manner of his leaving it. Happy landings Tim. Your friends and family will always love and remember you.
