Tim was born on Nov. 12, 1937, in Owen, to Merrill and Eileen (nee Bredesen) Dunn. He graduated from Greenwood High School in 1955. He moved to Racine in 1959 and worked for American Motors/Chrysler in Kenosha for 42 years. Tim was a member of The Reachouts in the 1970s and 1980s, putting his musical talent to use with his guitar, bass guitar, and one thing many people remember him best for, the saw. He also played the accordion to the enjoyment of many. He loved fishing, especially in the lakes and rivers in northern Wisconsin, and watching the wildlife in his yard. On May 24, 2009, he married Wanda Dulaney in Zion, Ill., his faithful companion during his later years.

He is survived by his wife, Wanda; three children; Rhonda (John) Monks of Wausau, Kevin (Kerri) Dunn of Racine, and Amy (Douglas) Nunziato of Marysville, Wash.; their mother, Marla DelaPena of Racine; six grandchildren: Margaret (Robert) Steward, Katherine (Travis) Harp, Christopher Dunn, Courtney Dunn, Analise Nunziato, and Nathanael Nunziato; seven great-grandchildren; his brothers and sisters: Michael (Julie) Dunn, Marilyn (Val) Stevens, Susan (Kenneth) Martini, and Malcolm (Bonnie) Dunn; his step-children: Don (Peggy) Dulaney, Dave (Kelly) Dulaney, and Diane (Bob) Martinelli; 11 step-grandchildren; 12 step-great-grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews from both families too numerous to mention by name.

In addition to his parents, Tim was preceded in death by one sister, Peggy Dunn; one grandson, Micah Nunziato; and his second wife, Barbara Dunn.
