Francis A. Timm, age 82, of Oshkosh, passed away Friday, January 6, 2006 at Mercy Medical Center surrounded by family. He was born on June 3, 1923 in Sheboygan to Albert and Anna (Maas) Timm. Francis married Lucille Raabe on September 28th, 1946 in Sheboygan and they spent 53 years of married life together until Lucille's death on June 18, 2000.
He is survived by his five children: Carol Lee (Mark) Milhaupt of New London, Wisconsin; Susan (Jim) Polzin of Portland, Oregon; David (Ruth) Timm of Rochester, New York; Peter (Vicki) Timm of Denver, Colorado; Eileen (Ted) Krembs of Sparks, Nevada; thirteen grandchildren, 4 great-grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews.
Francis will be remembered by all whom he touched with his friendly smile and kind words. He was "Grandpa Wal-Mart" to those he greeted at the store entrance, and Francis to his lunch friends at the senior center, and seven o'clock Sunday mass folks. He was a man of faith throughout his life, and passed his strength on to his children, who were his greatest joy. He was a member of Saint Peter Catholic Church.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Thursday January 12, 2006 at 10:30 a.m. in Saint Peter Catholic Church, 435 High Ave., with the Reverends Robert Kollath and John Becker co-officiating. Entombment will take place at Lake View Memorial Park. Visitation will be in the church from 9:00 to 10:30 a.m. In lieu of flowers, a memorial is being established in Francis's memory.
The family would like to thank all who supported Francis and his family with their thoughts and prayers. To all who so kindly attended Francis during his time in the Mercy Medical Center ICU, our deepest appreciation. Thank you also to Sharon Oliver of Passport 55, Sister Diane Faust and Father Robert Kollath. On-line condolences may be sent to www.seefeldfuneral.com.
