      MARLER MECHANICAL
      April 15, 1966 – August 5, 2015
      It is with sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Tim at 49 years of age. His greatest passion was working as a mechanic. He had a gift of explaining needed repairs in a way that everyone could understand. Tim was very easy going with a reputation for honesty.
      He will be deeply missed by his partner Cindy, mother Janet, brother Jeff (Patty), sisters Karen (Richard), Lynn (Mike), Leslie (Chris), and Cindy's daughter Nikkei (Stephen). He is survived by numerous nieces and nephews, and was predeceased by his father Basil.
      Tim was a modest person so no flowers are necessary. If you wish, please donate to a charity of your choice in his name.
      Those wishing to pay their respects may do so at a viewing and open house at "The Shop" on Friday, August 14 from 3 p.m. – 6 p.m., 53036 Range Road 224, Ardrossan.

He will be missed by his brothers and sisters Doreen (George) Hudson, Bob (Chris), David (Jan), Rick (Roberta), and Maxine Hack, surviving Marler in-laws Anne, Jean and Mary; the Yohemas family and an abundance of nieces and nephews.
      Basil was predeceased by 4 brothers and 3 sisters: Garnet, Neil, Minerva (Sweet), Bernice, Reggie, Oma and Alan.
