Walter C. Timm, of Cornwall, NY entered eternal rest on January 5, 2021 while trying to recover from recent injuries. He was 89 years old.

Walt (Skip) had a lifelong passion for fishing and boating. He maintained several boats for fishing in Shark River, NJ for over 50 years.

He also enjoyed the camaraderie of the Cornwall Yacht Club.
Walt is survived by his sisters: Geraldine Barton of Hackettstown, NJ, Ethel Young of Saint Cloud, FL, and Elaine Carmichael of Mendon, MA; along with four nieces and four nephews.
