Timothy Palmer Obituary
Tim was the youngest of Edwin & Marjorie (Batchelder) Palmer's five children. The family lived in Reading, MA and Tim graduated from Reading High School in 1984
Tim joined the Navy in 1994 and was stationed in Jacksonville, FL. He had completed an 18 month tour aboard the USS Enterprise before he was honorably discharged in 1997 after three years of service
Tim loved watching old music videos on YouTube and going to concerts with his besties. He loved a good conversation. If you got a word in, you were lucky! Tim would talk to anyone about anything and everything. He was friendly, polite, and quite a character. He also loved his feline pal, Daphne. He always used to say that she loved HIM the best. She sleeps in his chair quite often now.
Tim is survived by his wife, Kathy (O'Connor); children, James & Winnie; brothers, Joe, Andy (Peter), Tony (Gaby) and Brendon (Toni); sister, Elaine (Rod) Simms; mother/father in-law, Carol & Arthur O'Connor; brothers/sisters in-law, Mark & Debbie O'Connor and Steve & Beth O'Connor; including many neices and nephews
