TIMOTHY WYNNE PLUMPTRE

Dearest Barbara, I'm so very sorry for the loss of your beloved husband, Tim. My heart goes out to you, your children and all his dearest. We met through Myrna serving together on the Ottawa Dance Festival Board, and Tim and Lyle graciously hosted our meetings at the IOG. Together you both encouraged/nominated me to serve on two other special Boards and their Committees: the New Edinburgh Community Association and PAL Ottawa. Plwase know that your friends from all of these communities are...

Dear Barbara. Tim´s passing deeply saddens Berel and me. Tim was a mensch and, for me, a generous, substantive, and gracious mentor. I first met and worked with Tim in 1989 when he led the Task Force on Service to the Public and then on several projects through the Institute of Governance.

In 1968-69 Tim and I had offices next to each other on the executive floor of the Canadian International Development Agency headquartered in the Fuller Bldg. on Salter St. We became tightly linked as colleague and friends lucky to have each other for company as young men (I was 24, Tim 25 when we met) in an exciting time.

I have known Tim since I moved to Ottawa in the 1970s and become good friends with him, Barbara and family. For many summers, he participated in my Thursday afternoon tennis group at Rockcliffe Lawn Tennis Club. Tim was a close friend of my brother, Philip; both having gone to Trinity College (UofT). I will remember his friendship and offer my deepest condolences to the Plumptre family. David Clendenning

It was such a privilege to work with Tim at the IOG. He was one of the finest people I have ever known. He lived his life with enthusiasm, kindness, and grace. I will always treasure our work together, our travels to many countries in Southeast Asia, and our fun times at our cottages.
