Timothy Saunders Obituary

Timothy Mark Saunders Dec. 19, 1959 - July 23, 2009 A beach boy at heart, Timothy was born to Kathleen and William Saunders in Los Angeles. As a teen he lived in Florida where he made many lifelong friends and first decided to work in the restaurant business. In his 20's he made the big move to San Francisco where he lived for over 25 years and worked as a bartender. He loved being a bartender because it was an opportunity to meet new people everyday. Always the ultimate host, Tim's favorite thing to do was to invite friends and family to his house and cook them a comforting meal and enjoy a nice bottle of wine. Tim will be dearly missed but never forgotten. He is survived by partner Mario and family Bill, Mike, Harold, Sheryl, Ron, and Ronda. Gifts in memory of Tim may be directed to Pancreas Research Program at UCSF. Checks payable to UCSF Foundation and mail to UCSF Foundation, Box 45339 , SF CA 94145.

Tim whom I have known since 1983 has been a friend who was always there, welcoming and accepting. I am convinced that he continues to be present to us in new and wonderful ways. Tim, I look forward to seeing you again, my friend.

Tim has been a part of my life since the early 80s, working together, traveling together, sharing laughter and tears. He was a generous, intelligent, fun loving man with a tremendous lust for life. I am so lucky to have had such a friend! Tim--I will never get over you.

To the Sauders family we wil all ways rember your son as, "Tim-by-the-way". When we first met many years ago at the first Alta Plaza he was tending bar. We started talking and he said, nice to meet you, "I'm Tim by the way" and that is what we called over the many years since. We don't think he like it, so after we would call him that when it was just the three of us. We also remember him from N/M and from his own place in West Portal. What a smile!! Rest in peace our friend.
