William "Bill" Timan

William “Bill” Timan, a man of quiet strength and unwavering dedication, completed his final march on May 23, 2025, at the age of 94. Born in 1930 in Muse, Pennsylvania, he was the youngest of nine children to parents Andrew and Anna Timan.

At the age of 17, Bill enlisted in the United States Marine Corps and served during the Korean War. He traveled through the Panama Canal and was stationed in several locations including California, Hawaii, Japan, Korea, as well as aboard the USS Philippines Sea (CV-47) aircraft carrier. During his service, he rose to the rank of sergeant and was awarded medals for Pistol Expert, Expert Rifleman, Sharpshooter, and Good Conduct.

 In 1950, Bill met Ethel Evelyn Greaves in New York city. They married five years later and had three children: Rochelle (Timan) Adler (Rick), Thomas Timan, and William "Billy" Timan Jr. (Dava). In 1971, the family moved from Pennsylvania to Colorado, where they remained for the rest of their lives. Bill and Evelyn were married for 64 years until her passing in 2019.

Bill was a master electrician and member of the Denver Electrical Union. He later worked as a building inspector for Boulder County. Known for his exceptional skill and hands-on expertise, he built two homes from the ground up and had an uncanny ability to repair or rebuild anything—from trucks and tractors to everyday fixtures around the house. He also found joy and purpose as a gentleman farmer, owning a piece of land where he raised animals and grew much of his own food.

Bill cherished time with his family and enjoyed hunting, fishing, gardening, trips to Las Vegas and Black Hawk, and cheering on his grandchildren and great-grandchildren at their sporting events. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather.

He is survived by his children, Rochelle, Thomas, and Billy; his grandchildren, Tracon Adler (Rebecca) and Erin (Adler) Johnson (Ben), and his great-grandchildren, Taylon and Katy Adler.

Services will be held on June 17, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. at Carroll-Lewellen Funeral Home in Longmont, followed by a committal service with full military honors at 2:00 p.m. at Fort Logan National Cemetery in Denver.
