Tim Cashin went on to his heavenly home on April 27, 2023 at the age of 85. He grew up in the countryside of Canton, Ohio where he developed his love of plants from his parents, Frank and Alice Cashin, who tended their extensive vegetable and flower gardens. Tim loved riding the tractor and zooming around the area on his red motor bike. At a young age, Tim won blue ribbons at the county fair for his gigantic strawberries. His love of cars also started then. His sister Carol recalls Tim sitting with his best buddy engrossed in a Popular Mechanics magazine. Tim was close to his cousins and at family gatherings, he always said something at the dinner table that made everyone giggle.

When the family moved to Walnut Creek, California in 1952, Tim attended Las Lomas High School and had a great group of friends who hung out at his home or Mel's Drive in. He was head of the House of Representatives on campus, played on the golf team and voted “Best Dressed” in the school newspaper. He enjoyed working at a local nursery where he memorized the Latin names of the plants. He was in the first graduating class of the school which is still going strong.

Tim then attended University of California at Davis where he joined the Phi Delta Theta fraternity and had great times with his frat brothers. He majored in Agricultural Economics and was enrolled in ROTC. He looked forward to the reunions around Picnic Day to reestablish old friendships. Upon graduation, he immediately joined the Army and was assigned a high security post at the Nike missile base in Germany, where he was stationed for four years . He spent his time off on the ski slopes and when he returned to America, he brought a Porsche back with him which started a lifelong hobby focusing on classic cars about which Tim became very knowledgeable. He loved attending car shows where he hung out with fellow car buffs.

Upon returning home, Tim took a desk job involved with agriculture but soon found out that he was an outdoor guy. So his love of people and the outdoors led him into real estate. He became a popular real estate broker in Stockton, California, and had many happy customers who became friends. He also sold homes to his parents and his sister Fran, who became his right hand gal in his office. He was also involved in the development of ski resorts. He then moved to Colorado to continue his real estate career, and to do what he loved---ski. His place was conveniently located within walking distance to a ski lift. Tim eventually practiced real estate in Palm Desert where his parents had retired. In later years, he entertained his family and friends there at his beautiful home.

Tim eventually moved to Missouri to be with family, and after a long illness, Tim died in Kansas City with his sister Fran holding his hand. He is also survived by his sister, Carol and brother-in-law Jon Groseth of San Diego, California, 9 cousins, and several nieces, including Fran's daughter, Allison Owen, who grew up with Tim in her life, and her husband Jason and their children, Ali and Eli, whose middle names carry on the “Cashin” name.

Tim will be interred along side of his parents in the desert where he and his family members spent many wonderful years.
