Obituary from the Harrington Citizen -
Fatal Truck Wreck Kills Gordon Timm. The shadow of tragedy etched a pattern of sorrow over the community's Christmas Day, when Gordon Timm was killed Wednesday mid-afternoon, in a truck accident. Enroute to his farm home from town, the truck plunged over a 24-foot embankment about 2 miles east of Harrington, on U.S. Highway 11. State Patrolman Donald Drake and Patrol Sergeant W. L. Lane, said Gordon, who was driving a one-ton Ford truck, struck a soft shoulder on the right side of the road. His car swerved to the left side of the highway and plunged over the embankment. Gordon was born August 20, 1918. He was reared in this community and was graduated from Harrington high school in 1936. He was prominent in school athletics, and as a citizen of the community continued active in town athletics. He attended Poletechnic Institute in Oakland where he took some flying lessons. On May 20, 1939 he married his highschool sweetheart, Doris Swenson. Enlisting in the army air corps, he was called up for duty in October, 1942. He trained and served at several places on the West Coast, in Colorado, and Nebraska. In December, 1944 he was sent overseas to the Southwest Pacific where he was stationed at bases in the Mariannas. He returned to the States in the winter of 1946, arriving in Seattle December 24. He was Staff Sergeant at the time of his discharge. Upon his arrival home he returned to farming, which operation he conducted with his father, and brother Bob. Interested in farmer flying, Gordon piloted his private Taylorcraft. Gordon was a member of the Community church, Liberty Grange, the American Legion Post No. 95, and the Lions club. He is survived by his wife, Doris; parents, Mr. and Mrs. Otto Timm; brothers, Robert and Duane; a number of uncles, aunts and cousins, and many friends. Funeral services which are under the direction of Duncan Funeral Home, had not been announced when The Citizen went to press.
