Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers - we are so blessed to have so many wonderful friends and family. We know that he is where he has been wanting to be for a long time and that Vera was waiting for him. We will hopefully be doing a memorial service in the spring when family members would be able to be here. Thanks again. Obituary to follow in a couple days.

Tim was my neighbor for a good many years. Always enjoyed his friendship. Had more than a few laughs over people climbing his rocks when he lived on that corner, especially at Thanskgiving in about 1982 when I had some folks over who left later during a horrendous Thanksgiving blizzard, they started down the road not know which direction to head because of the snow (and other things) and climbed right up on top of one of Tim's boulders with their truck. The man came walking back to my house dragging his bride by the hair like a caveman. Tim, of course, the next day was found plowing around the truck! He had plenty of questions about that one! Farewell neighbor, nice to have known you!!

Cyril (Tim) Joseph Timsak, formerly of Beaver Island, went to heaven to join his beloved wife, Vera on September 27, 2011. He was 89.
Tim was born to Joseph and Anna Timsak of Bridgeport, Connecticut on August 22, 1922. He married the love of his life Vera Jean Munton on June 3, 1945.
Tim worked various jobs for many years until making his home with Vera in Muskegon, Michigan and working for Anaconda Wire Factory for 33 years.
Tim and Vera moved to Beaver Island in June 1973 with their two children, Joseph and Jacqueline after purchasing the Shamrock Bar with his cousin Barb Beckers from Archie LaFreniere. After owning the Shamrock Bar for 1-1/2 years, they sold out to Barb and began working for the St. James Municipal Yacht Dock for many years before retiring. During those years, Tim loved his conversations with the boaters that would come and visit Beaver Island and made many lifelong friends. He loved walking in the outdoors and would spend many hours just sitting and enjoying the sunshine. Tim and Vera spent the next years traveling and then living in Charlevoix.
Tim is survived by his children, Joseph (Cheryl) and Jacqueline, grandchildren, Joey (Jenni), Krystle (Royce) and Bryan, great grandchildren, Chloe and Brody, his brothers, David (Carol) and Robert (Anne), sister-in-law Vera Fanjoy, and many nieces and nephews. He is preceded in death by his loving wife, Vera, his parents and stepfather.
Winchester Funeral Home handled all the arrangements including the cremation.
A private family ceremony will be held in the spring.
