Sad Loss of an incredible NW SSR FANTASTIC

[tickledpink]

To all of our Pacific Northwest SSR family, I am saddened to tell you of the sudden death of Tim LeCompte, TMZSSR, Wednesday, March 9th, 2011.

Tim died of a heart attack in his sleep - no doubt dreaming of his wonderful SSR family who meant so much to both he and his wife, Mary. He was so looking forward to the Spring and Summer SSR adventures with everyone.

Services will be in Forest Grove, Oregon, March 22nd at 2:00 pm. If you would like to contact Mary, please PM me for more information (she is not computer skilled, so has asked me to help). I know she will need lots of support having lost her life-long mate, and also help with his incredible SSR when the time comes. Your involvement in this wonderful SSR FANTASTIC family made him the happiest guy alive........... Mary asked me to extend her deepest thank you's for all you gave to to his total happiness.

Condolences to:
Mary LeCompte

After looking through a few threads I see that Tim LeCompte's Fanatic handle was TMZSSR.
Very sad news. RIP Tim and prayers for Mary and family.

Tragic news to hear of Tim's passing. Tim, Tony, and I just started up a PDX Area E&G after the first of the year. Last month's meeting at The Byways Cafe was his idea. He will be sorely missed in the NW SSR community. I know he and Mary planned to go to Chelan and Penticton this summer. Nicolette and I will give Mary a call and stop by tomorrow to see if there is anything she needs to be done. Thanks again Sue for getting this message out.

I'm glad Iris and I had the opportunity to meet Tim and Mary at our drive-in night in Oregon in September 2009.

He was very proud of his SSR, especially the modifications. He really had it purring.

Our condolences to Mary.

Tim had already signed up for the NCW SSR tour in Washington. Karen and I were looking forward to seeing him again as we first met at the Monroe Speedway rain fest last fall.

We will think about Tim while on our Spring Tour as we know he would ahve truly enjoyed it!

Hi All,

Nicolette and I stopped by to see Mary yesterday evening after finishing up at the SIP wine festival in McMinnville. She is staying with a sister-in-law, Jemmy, who lives in Forest Grove for now, but one of her sons is moving up soon from California to provide some comfort and security. The funeral services will be held, as Sue noted earlier, at 2PM on Tuesday, March 22, 2011, at Mt Olive Lutheran Church, 2327 17th Ave, Forest Grove, OR 97116. Mary indicated that Tim's wish was to be cremated with his ashes spread at the coast. She thought that we might be interested in giving an appropriate farewell.

Thanks,
David
