Deshler Ohio lose's one its Great Railfans. Tim Black

Unread post by sandpatch1 »

Sadly one of the best Railfans I know has passed. Tim Black of Deshler, a avid Fan and great MILW Modeler.
He was an avid rail fan, and despite being an Ohioan, also a Michigan football fan. Tim and his wife met as members of the Fort Findlay Playhouse where he worked in a technical aspect. Tim was a member of New Beginnings United Methodist Church where he served on the church council, past member and president of the trustees, and head usher. He was also a member of the Henry County Senior Fair Board where he could be found helping just about anywhere needed and doing it with gusto. Tim was a Cubmaster of Pack 68 in Deshler for many years and moved onto Troop 262 in Hamler with his sons where he served as a Scoutmaster, and later as an Assistant Scoutmaster for Troop 46 in Napoleon. He was also a Brotherhood member of the Mawat Woakus Lodge in the Order of the Arrow. His favorite activity was summer camp, especially with Troop 262, at Camp Lakota in Defiance.'
Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday 8/4 at New Beginnings UMC in Deshler, Ohio with Pastor Chris Walter officiating. Burial will follow at Woodlawn Cemetery, Deshler.

Visitation will be held from 2-8 p.m. on Tuesday at Feehan-Rodenberger Funeral Home, Deshler and from 10-11 a.m., Wednesday prior to the funeral service at the church.

It will not be the Same around the campfire at the Diamonds without Tim.. RIP
