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.

Dear Uncle Tim,
Even though distance and time meant we never truly got the chance to know each other well, you were always in my thoughts and memories throughout my life. You will be missed as my Uncle Tim.
Rest peacefully.

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
Hasel Kingman (Adams) and family

Amongst his many talents was Orienttering, here winning the Minor Units Orienteering Championship in 16 Para Bde.
Tim and Janet hosted an Easter egg hunt for me, Gibson, and Leon. The garden at their prevous home was so big and beautiful. Lucky for them as it provided lots of hiding spaces!
South Africa 2012. Tim and Janet took Ethan and I to South Africa. A once in a lifetime experience that I will never forget. So many memories made.
August 2023 - Mum, Gibson, Leon, and I visited Tim and Janet.
Tim sailing in the Baltic with Janet, me and my brother and sister-in-law whilst Tim and I were serving together in HQ 1 Armd Div in Verden. Happy days.
Kalahari 2006 relaxing in the shade, soul mates, happy together in Africa.
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.
