He was 75 years young. Tim was born Nov. 24, 1945, in Racine to Lenor Gaffney of Wisconsin and William Marquis of Kentucky. He went into the U.S. Army following high school and was honorably discharged in 1970 after serving in Korea during the Vietnam War. Tim became a research analyst for the State of Wisconsin and retired in 2002 with more than 32 years as a public servant. Tim’s biggest pride and joy were his children and grandchildren, whom he lovingly called “frog face” or “lizard lips” on a regular basis. He cheered on the Packers, loved all things frog, camping, fishing, time out on the lake, and cherished time spent with his high school and lifelong friends, including the “Madison Central Guys.” Tim was proud of his Irish roots, which he explored further in Boston and Ireland with his children. The Irish Gaelic phrase Céad Míle Fáilte (a hundred thousand welcomes) hung over his door, and Tim truly had a spirit that embraced and welcomed everyone. While known for his wit, Tim was also celebrated for his heart of gold. He was supportive, encouraging, eager to lend an ear to anyone, and made an impression on all he met. He is survived by his daughter, Stephanie (Dan); son, Sean (Holly); good friend and second wife, Betty Volquardsen; two grandsons, Riley and Chayton; his brother Bill (Mary); and five nieces and nephews. He will be forever missed, and his sense of humor and our memories will provide comfort in the days to come. A public drive through visitation will be held at GUNDERSON WEST FUNERAL AND CREMATION CARE, 7435 University Ave., Middleton, from 1 p.m. until 1:30 p.m., on Saturday, Dec. 12, 2020.
