MARK TIMMERMAN

Uncle Mark was an extraordinary person. I was honored to have him as my uncle and wished he were my father! He and Aunt Gerri gave me awesome childhood memories that I have shared with my children. I am so thankful he accepted me and my family in my adulthood. I will miss him greatly, his love, humor, intelligence and ingenuity . I love you Uncle Mark!

A limb has fallen from the family tree,I keep hearing a voice that says Grieve not for me, Remember the best times, the laughter,the song, The good life I lived while I was strong. Continue my heritage,I'm counting on you. Keep smiling and surely the sun will shine though. My mind is at ease, my soul is at rest.Remember all,how truly I was blessed, continue traditions, no matter how small, go on with your life, don't worry about falls, I miss you dearly, so keep up your chin. Until the day...

I first met Mark in a business context. But Mark being Mark, he soon became a superb friend. Our friendship long outlasted the business connection and continued for over 27 years. We sometimes met and we often talked via email--even as recently as last month. He will be missed.
