LOCK, Timothy A. - “Tim the Tool Man“ - Passed on Friday November 9th, 2007 in his 48th year, surrounded by his wife, parents, best friend Paul and special friend and advocate Sue at the home that he shared with Karen Davidson (Lock) in north Mulmur. On Sunday, October 28th, Tim and Karen were married in a private ceremony at the historic Corbetton Church on the grounds of the Dufferin County Museum surrounded by a small circle of relatives and friends. Tim was a very loving, sensitive, loyal partner and best friend to Karen. He was the source of her strength in difficult times as well the source of her happiness in their day to day life. The marriage ceremony reflected the depth of their commitment to each other in the face of the circumstances they faced. Tim was a dedicated father to his daughter Tabitha, who changed his life from the first moment she was laid in his arms. He was also a very special friend to her younger brother T.J. Tim's warm and irrepressible spirit and sense of humour will also be deeply missed by his parents, Robert & Dianna of Brantford, brother & sister-in-law Terry & Joy of Waterford, Tabitha's mother Rene of Brantford, as well as numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. His friends in the Brantford and Mulmur areas have lost a steady and reliable friend who was always there for them with a smile and a story. Several years ago, Tim started his own handyman business under the name “Tim the Tool Man“ and in this capacity, finally found his calling and experienced great satisfaction and happiness in his vocation. Clients in the Mulmur/Clearview/- Collingwood area can attest to his skills, creativity, honesty and work ethic. Since Tim's diagnosis of terminal cancer 6 months ago, he strove to retain his sense of humour and optimism and in keeping with his character, was more concerned with the impact of the situation on others than himself. His courage in the face of these circumstances was remarkable and a testament to the strength of his character. Tim is now truly a free spirit and we are all very fortunate to have had him in our lives, albeit for much too short a time.
