Barrington, NH - Timothy Donohoe James McCabe, 63, died peacefully on May 5, 2020 at home in Barrington, NH with his wife, daughter and dog at his side. He was predeceased by his parents Thomas and Regina (Donohoe) McCabe and infant brother of Dover.
He is survived by his wife, Jana of 35 years, and daughter Lauren “Pumpkin Pie,” as well as his siblings Thomas McCabe Jr., Mary Howarth, Margaret (Ray) Michaud, Gina (John) Pike, Carol (Jeff) Croteau, Julie (Justin) McCabe, and many nieces and nephews.
Tim attended St. Thomas Aquinas High School, Dover NH and graduated from the University of New Hampshire. He worked as a human resources manager for GFS Manufacturing, and more recently for Park Nameplate until his retirement.
Tim was a kind and gentle soul who loved his family and captured the hearts of everyone blessed to know him. We will remember his handsome smirk, quiet generosity, compassion, and meticulous attention to detail. On the basketball court, Tim earned the name “Trigger,” sinking every shot. Always quick witted, he could make anyone laugh. Our many years of memories include him golfing, bringing flowers home to his girls, ironing clothes while listening to Frank Sinatra, vacationing at Chatham, and satisfying his sweet tooth.
Tim’s courage and grace throughout his illness taught us about living life fully, the ministry of presence and patience, and ultimately how to love and care for one another.
A celebration of Tim’s life will be announced at a later date when the many people who loved him can gather together.
Memorials in his name may be made to St. Thomas Aquinas High School, Dover, NH or to The Alliance of Career Development Nonprofits, supporting folks with a professional outfit and resources to join or reenter the workforce.

Tim was a man that I respect and loved. We spent our days working together and playing together after work. Golf was frequently on the agenda along with a beer or two after. Basketball on Fridays and an evening with the guys after. Poker on Mondays. I still owe him a Jefferson Jimbo or two. I moved to Florida in 1990 and he wrote the best letter of recommendation for me. We met up once in Florida when he was there at a conference and that was the last time we hung out. He is one of the kindest people that I have ever known. Rest peacefully my friend.

I worked with Tim at GFS, he was always walking around with a smile and always lended an ear if anyone wanted to talk. His heart was even bigger than his smile. He was so thrilled to be Lauren's dad! May God bless you. Hoping that "his girls" will find some comfort in knowing that he touched many lives and made us all better people for knowing him!

To all the McCabe's I want to send my heart felt sympathies. Memories of living with Tim and Scott on Hanson Ave in dover many years ago. All the fun times in sports and an (occasional) beer at Horse Feathers. We grew up across the field from each other between Henry Law and Court St. I cant say I ever met anyone who ever disliked Tim, such a wonderful person, could always make you laugh.
My wife happened to be browsing through the Fosters and saw this as we try to keep up with our Dover roots on occasion. You all will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear family of Tim: Thank you for special obituary in Foster's. Our family was privileged to "be planted down the hill" on Henry Law Ave. from that big family of McCabes. Somehow I enjoyed visiting Regina the mom often .Mary .Perhaps she tolerated me the youngkid-mother from downthe street. Eventually we came to know the youth and especially Gina baby-sat for us and our 3 girls,and perhaps Carol too. Maureenand Julie spent growing up together. Thank you for letting us know youand yours! Eternal rest grant unto Tim Mary Ann Cooper

We are at a loss for words during this sorrowful time. Please know that we are thinking of you all and praying for peace and comfort. What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch. We may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget. Sending love and prayers of comfort to each and everyone of you.
