Carl Timm Obituary
Carl Clayton Timm, 92, passed peacefully on March 11, 2015. He was born in Syracuse, New York on April 5, 1922.
Carl is preceded in death by his wife of 60 years, Lois Gwynn Timm, son Robert D. Timm, brother Donald Timm and parents Carl A. Timm and Myrtle Revior.
Carl is survived by daughter Donna Bennett and husband Dennis, son Robert C. Timm and wife Connie, son Charles Timm, daughter Allison Timm and daughter Joanne Timm. He is also survived by grandchildren James Anderson, David Bennett and wife Sara, and Amanda Timm. In addition to sister-in-law Marion Timm Ford, nieces Karen Timm Burwell, Linda Timm Hart and Robin Gwynn and nephews James Gwynn and A. Thomas Gwynn.
He proudly served in the United States Marine Corps during WWII, was a Master Mason and member of the Fort Brewerton Masonic Lodge #256 in Central Square, NY and a Lifetime Member of the Brewerton Volunteer Fire Department in Brewerton, NY.
He enjoyed a career with Crouse-Hinds in Syracuse, NY, before his service in WWII and once again after his return home. He then enjoyed a long career with Hughes Tool in Houston, TX.
Beyond family, Carl's passions included woodworking and furniture restoration, anything related to golf, and anything related to World War II. We have no doubt he is continuing to fulfill these passions in Heaven.
The family wishes to express gratitude for the love and support from the numerous friends who have become extended members of the Timm family through the years. We are so very blessed.

Carl was coming up on his 65 year anniversary in April as a Free and Accepted Mason as a member of Fort Brewerton Lodge #256 in New York. I did not have a chance to meet the brother, but I spoke with him several times on the phone. He was a good Mason, always paid his dues on time and was concerned about the welfare of our lodge. RESOLVED, that Fort Brewerton Lodge No. 256, Free and Accepted Masons extend to his family and friends our deepest sympathy and commend them to the One on High Who brings peace and comfort to troubled hearts.
He will be missed.
David Childress, Master - Fort Brewerton Lodge #256.

Thank you Mr. Timm for giving me a passion for woodworking. Your insight, calm and methodical work in woodworking also provided me with an awesome insight to everyday life as well. May God Bless you and your family, sir.
