Tim died peacefully in his sleep on Monday 13 April in the safe hands of the hospice into which he had moved only eleven days earlier. The day Tim moved out of Tim and Janet’s home was their 49th wedding anniversary and we all will be forever grateful for the almost half century they spent together.
The funeral will be at 1PM on Friday 22nd May at a natural burial ground in the Blackdown Hills. The site is called Hackpen and entered through a gate at:
what3words chilling.sweetened.rainwater
The postcode is EX15 3LU but covers a wider area so be careful of following satnav slavishly.
We ask that everyone who can join us at the burial site dress colourfully for Tim. He would not want a sombre occasion. Please note that only natural items can be laid on Tim’s grave such as garden flowers. No plastic or other inorganic materials are permitted.
Afterwards we will move to a local hotel (Lakeview Manor, about 5 miles away) for refreshments where we hope that we will all be able to chat and share our memories of our lovely Tim.

Our family seems to be plagued by the awful 'C'. It was such a shock to hear that Tim was so ill and our thoughts are with Janet at this sad time.
Our paths didn't cross very often, even though we were cousins, although I was very close to the girls, especially Ann.
I always loved the round Robin letters each year at Christmas and marvelled at all the antics they had both been up to.
Sadly, I will not be at the funeral to say goodbye to Tim as I am now in a wheelchair and unable to cope with the terrain.
I'll never forget a wonderful BBQ in the garden on the hillside.
Rest in peace Tim

Dear Janet,
It’s clear from the many messages of love and support that Tim touched so many lives, was much loved and well respected. Above all, he was a huge part of your life together and I dare say there are so many happy memories of what you shared and achieved. Sending you our love and sincere condolences,
Chris, Gerry and family. X

A truly exceptional man, always true to himself. From A-level chemistry to Karrimore International Mountain Marathons he mentored and guided me with talent and generosity. A full and exceptional life. Sending our thoughts and you to you Janet at this very sad time.

Thank you. Janet xx

Thank you Uncle Tim.
Visits to you and Janet will always form some of my fondest childhood memories. Incredible examples included our trip to South Africa, what was probably the most adventurous Easter egg hunt ever conceived in your amazing garden and woodland in Devon, or more practical things like teaching me how to make a foundation/retaining wall out of concrete and hessian sacks (not many people could tire out teenage me).
It was lovely catching up after far too long at at Claire and Joe's wedding and I wish my own health had been good enough to visit again more recently.
Thinking of you both. Lots of love. Michael xxx

Thank you Tim for the knowledge and memories you have been a part of. You gave me the opportunity to learn about animals in South Africa, the types of trees in your garden, and how to carve a spatular and rolling pin from wood. So many fond memories that will stay with me forever. I was devestated when you were diagnosed and I wish these horrible cancers did not exist. I am sorry I did not get to see you in your final months. Despite being upset that it took your life, I am relieved that you did not have to spend more time suffering. I hope you know the positive impact you had on people. May you rest in peace Tim. Saffron xx

Our safari mentors, we are so grateful for your introduction and training which led us to go on and have so many adventures of our own self-driving in Africa. Always great advice & good company. Thinking of you both. Love, Tracey
Always up for a challenge, Tim & Richard chimpanzee tracking in the Kyambura Gorge in Uganda 2012. What a great day we all shared together.
A lovely memory from our amazing Ranger Exchange visit to Uganda in 2012. Tim was always great company. Dave & Sarah send their best wishes, they only shared one adventure with Tim but have very fond memories at Hippo House. xxx
Janet, losing Tim is a tremendous loss. He was a truly remarkable person, and a BBQ king. I feel honoured to have called him my uncle, and my sons to have known him. I hope the memories you shared bring you comfort in the days and weeks ahead.
