Timothy Robert Lehman, age 74, passed away peacefully on August 14, 2025.

Born on January 12, 1951, in Bath, Pennsylvania, Tim was the beloved son of the late Clarence and Helen (Spancake) Lehman. He was a proud graduate of Springfield High School (Class of 1968) and earned his degree from Muhlenberg College in 1972.

Tim dedicated his professional life to serving and advocating for workers, most notably as Business Agent and President of Teamsters Local 312 in Chester, PA. He was known for his strong leadership, fairness, and commitment to the labor movement.

A passionate outdoorsman, Tim was an avid fisherman whose adventures took him across the globe. He loved life on the water and spent many summers as a boat captain in Avalon, New Jersey. Tim was also a devoted dog lover, especially of dachshunds, who brought him endless joy.

Tim is survived by his loving wife of 37 years, Patricia (Murray) Lehman, and his sister, Susan (Fred) Brant. He is also survived by many brothers- and sisters-in-law, nieces and nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews, and a wide circle of lifelong friends. He was preceded in death by his sister, Karen Mazuer.
Tim will be remembered for his warm heart, sharp wit, and unwavering loyalty to his family, friends, and fellow workers. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.

Relatives and friends are invited to his Visitation Saturday, August 23, 2025 10am O'Leary Funeral Home, 640 E. Springfield Rd. Springfield, PA 19064 and to his Funeral Service 11:00am in the Funeral Home. Int. Private.
