Mr. Charles "Ted" Timpano

January 16, 1955 - January 8, 2015

After a short, but valiant battle with cancer, Ted Timpano of High River, Alberta passed away at the High River Hospital on January 8, 2015 at the age of 59 years. Ted is survived by his best friend, his loving wife LeeAnne; the daughter he loved more than anything, Toni Timpano; much-loved son-in-law Marc Rajotte, of whom he was so proud; the grandchildren he adored - Dominic, Charleigh and Bronson; the big sisters who loved and spoiled him - Sandra, Carol and Judy; a large extended family and many lifelong friends. He was predeceased by his parents, Frank and Irene Timpano, and his brother, Tony Timpano. Ted was a smart, intellectually curious man who read multiple newspapers and watched numerous newscasts every day. His many friends will remember Ted's dry sense of humour and quick wit. He was always well-informed on any subject and would happily discuss world events with anyone. He was a kind and generous man, a true gentleman who always put his family first. He loved to cook and entertain and ride his Harley along the open highway. Besides his family, he was passionate about cars and mining. He lived his life with compassion, integrity, and an inspirational quiet dignity. And Teddy would certainly want us all to remember, "If it's not George Strait, it's not country." A Celebration of Ted’s life will be held in Calgary, Alberta on July 4th, 2015. For now, the cowboy has ridden away. Daddy’s little girl, my hero from the start. The very first man, to ever steal my heart. To you I’m forever grateful for the lessons that you’ve taught. Sharing words of wisdom, sharing every thought. No matter where life takes me, I’ll always hold you near. That little voice inside my head that whispers, I'm always here. Giving sound advice, forever loving me. I love you so much Daddy, I hope you truly see I will do my very best to pass on all that you have taught, Through me your grandchildren will know your love, your lessons, your thoughts. Thank you a million times, straight from the bottom of my heart. Daddy’s little girl, my hero from the start.
