We Love You Tim

With very heavy hearts, we said goodbye to one of the co-owners of our company over the weekend. Tim was more than a boss, he was our family and good friend. We love you and miss you Tim:

On December 17, 2011, Tim Gaskill’s breath of life returned to the creator, Jehovah. Tim passed away peacefully in the home he and his wife, Vickie, built. It was 23 years to the day they had moved in. Tim was diagnosed with brain cancer this past July. Five months were too short a period of time to say good-bye and express our love and appreciation for this amazing husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend.

Tim was born August 8, 1947 in Seattle, WA to Gail and Bonnie Gaskill. Tim will be missed by his sister, Monica, and brothers, Guy and Todd and a very large hodgepodge of family and friends.

At the age of 21, Tim met the love of his life Vickie, while she was a car-hop at Hep’s XXX Drive-in. Tim and Vickie married and spent the next 42 years growing up, and raising a loving family. Tim worked for B & G Machine for 30 years and was lucky enough to retire in 1999 and become the on call babysitter for his 3 beautiful Grandkids. In 2002, Tim and Vickie purchased Bell-Anderson and Associates, a property management company in Kent, WA.

Some of Tim’s & Vickie’s favorite activities were fishing and camping with their daughters Dawn and Carrie, along with their husbands Ross and Scott and the grandkids, Braden, Cassie and Tanner. Tim also enjoyed showing off his hot rod at many car shows with his buddies from the Maple Valley Street Rat’s.

A celebration of Tim’s life will be held on December 30th from 5-9:30pm at the Lake Wilderness Lodge, 22500 SE 248th St, Maple Valley, WA. In lieu of flowers the family wishes that donations be made to the University of Washington Foundation/Brain Tumor Research Fund, Box 359504, Seattle WA, 98195-9504 or on-line at www.washington.edu/giving/make-a-gift and search for Brain Tumor research fund.
