Timothy Sommers

Sommer, Timothy F.

Timothy Francis Sommers, age 55, passed away Friday, September 28, 2012 following a brief illness. He will be missed as a beloved son, brother, cousin, uncle, and friend.

Born August 1957 in South Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to Mary Ann "Nan" and Francis D. Sommers, Tim was the third of three siblings; brother Patrick and sister Lynn. His family moved to Neenah in 1965 where Tim attended St. Gabriel School. He was active in his church as an altar boy and he served his community as a Boy Scout of America.

Tim graduated from Neenah's Neil Armstrong High School and immediately stepped into the work force using a combination of brawn and brains to excel at any task. He had a talent for sales but also enjoyed handling products behind the scenes. He liked to 'make things happen' while keeping a smile on his co-workers and customers faces. He gave his efforts and talents to; Dougherty's Sales, Americold Logistics, Tri-County Distributors, Graebel Moving, Banta Book Group, Warehouse Specialists INC and Santal Solutions LLC.

Tim inherited the Irish gift of gab, sharing it both at work and during many social gatherings. He balanced his busy life with the peaceful pastime of fishing. Always searching for the best spot to cast his lure, we are certain he has found it now-- where waters are calm and fish are plentiful.

He was predeceased by his father, Fran, in July of this year. Tim strove to be of support during these past months to his surviving family; mother, brother and sister. Tim is also survived by his great source of joy, support, and love of his life for 18 years, Debbie Techlin.

Numerous cousins and friends will remember Tim for his unique ways and desire to keep relatives important in his life.

A memorial mass for Tim will be held at 11:00 A.M., Thursday October 4, 2012 at St. Gabriel Catholic Church, Neenah, Fr. Larry Seidl officiating. Visitation will be at church from 10:00 A.M. until the hour of service. Inurnment will take place at SS. Peter and Paul Parish Cemetery, Hortonville, on Saturday October 6, 2012 at 10 A.M. In lieu of flowers a memorial fund has been established.

Let this Irish Blessing carry our thoughts for Tim the rest of our days. May the wind be at your back and God hold you safe in the palm of His hand.

Loved beyond words, Tim will be missed beyond measure.
