Timothy Gianopulos of Kooskia, Idaho watched his last sunset
on Wednesday September 11th and
went to rest that night. He was born on March 30th, 1959 to William
and Naomi Gianopulos in Elizabeth, NJ. He was together with his wife Cherylee
for 34 years and they had 3 children.
Timothy enjoyed
the outdoors and loved to fish and hike. He was a dreamer and had a passion for
sharing his ideas. He traveled the world, and loved to tell stories of his
travels. Some of his favorite things where fishing the cold waters of Alaska,
enjoying the laid-back island time in Hawaii, and of course his home here in
North Idaho. He especially loved the Selway River area, where he enjoyed taking
his family camping and fishing. He loved watching his children play sports and
was a very proud father. He was an entrepreneur and started his own reclaimed
wood business, selling historic wood that always came with a story.
Timothy is
survived by wife Cherylee, son Clayton, daughter Anela (Glenn) Caldwell,
daughter Melanie, father William (Connie), mother Naomi, brothers William and
Howard, Sister Lauren (Andy) Tse, and their families as well as many other
relatives and friends.
There will be
a graveside funeral service held Saturday September 21st at 10:00 AM
at Tahoe Mountain Rest Cemetery. Celebration of life and potluck to follow at
Anela & Glenn's house, please bring a dish. There is a donation account set
up in Timothy's name for funeral expenses at Freedom Northwest Credit Union.
"Whenever you
want to see me, look at the sunset and I will be there."
