Timothy (Tim) David Poole of Nanaimo, BC, loving husband and best friend of Daphne, passed away on Saturday, August 18, 2007 in Victoria General Hospital, with his family by his side, of a sudden brain aneurysm at the age of 59.

Tim was born in Turner Valley, AB on January 20, 1948, but has resided in Nanaimo for several years. Tim and his Dad, Ken, co-owned and operated the family business Sun-Ray Pellet Fuels where they went the extra mile for their customers. Nothing was to much to ask of Tim in both his business and personal life.
Tim will always be remembered for his zest for life, his great sense of humor and the twinkle in his blue eyes.
Tim and Daphne’s passions were working together in their new home and yard and rescuing numerous feral cats, having them spayed or neutered and providing food, care and homes for some. Their six feline friends will surely miss him.
