Getchell, Timothy David
?Judge?
May 5, 1963- November 23, 2005
Survived by his beloved wife, Anna; his parents, Nancene and Dick; brother, Chris (Christa); nephew, Padraic; niece, Grace; aunt, Bev; and many other aunts, uncles, cousins and a host of friends. Tim was raised in the White Bear Lake-Stillwater area and currently lived in Vadnais Heights. He graduated from Minnehaha Academy and from the University of Minnesota, where he was a member of SAE fraternity. Tim?s many talents included music (eleven years of piano lessons starting at age six, classical guitar and percussion) some rock bands, and 1000 plus CD collection. His sense of humor started early in life. Acting lessons at Lakeshore Players at age six led to writing and acting classes at Dudley Riggs Theater. Both Tim and Anna had a special love of roller coasters and traveled the country for the thrill ride. He kept a diary of his up and down battle with cancer on the Caring Bridge website where 30,000 hits over the past year gave everyone a glimpse of his courage and humor. The family thanks the nursing staff at St. John?s Hospital and the Cancer Center for their loving care of Tim this past year, and to Dr. Johnson and Dr. Petryk for their medical contributions.
