He started McNern Construction, plying his trade in Guerneville, Wheatland, Twain Harte, and Haiku, HI. Tim was a quiet, gentle unassuming man who was a friend to all and will be greatly missed. He is survived by his loving daughter, Alana Claeys; grandchildren, Aiden and Aliah; sister, Mary Cannistraci; brother, Dennis; stepmother, Virginia McNerney; as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

Our family, the Marvins, grew up with your dad and uncle Dennis and Aunt Mary, and grandparents in Stockdale which was out in the country from Bakersfield. We all had such a good time playing in the cow pastures and fields. My heart goes out to you for your loss, Charlotte Marvin Brandt: [email protected]

Tim,
You beat me to the Admiral's Bridge, but I'll see you up top there someday. There will be plenty of construction projects, libations, and "no ka oi" times.
