Born in Monroe, Louisiana, on April 18, 1953, he was the son of Birl Schossow and Muriel (Reid) Schossow. He graduated from West Monroe High School and attended Lamar University after graduation. Tim worked at Total Petrochemical for 47 years and recently retired. He was a God loving man and a devoted member of Faith United Methodist Church in Orange, where he taught Sunday school for many years and was also on the board of trustees. Tim married the love of his life, Ida, in 1985 and they spent 35 memorable years together. He was heavily involved in his community. Tim served on several boards including, the Greater Orange Area Chamber of Commerce, Orange County Appraisal District, Orange Gun Club, Ducks Unlimited, and the American Red Cross where he served for the past 17 years. He also was a past board member of United Way and a current member of the Orange Lions Club. His family and friends would say Tim was a generous, compassionate, servant hearted, and family man. If you ever needed anything, Tim was always there to help and positively impacted many lives. He had a passion for history, the outdoors, and enjoyed collecting guns. Tim loved hunting, cooking, boating, and traveling in their RV. He will always be remembered as a loving husband, caring dad, humorous uncle, and a best friend.

I had the pleasure of working with Tim for the past 25 years or so. Myself as well as both of my sons have very fond memories both working as well as spending time hunting and playing golf with him. Tim was a good man and always had time for anyone that needed his help. We shared many hunting stories together through the years and I was glad to call him my friend, he will be sorely missed by all that were fortunate enough to know him. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Jay Ward
