Timothy Ray was born May 15, 1956, in Troy, a son of the late Lawrence and Maezil (Spencer) Dibble. Tim grew up in the Ogdensburg area and attended Canton Schools. After meeting on a blind date, Tim would marry the love of his life, former Vicky Roupp, on August 13, 1977, at his parent’s home in Ogdensburg. They shared 44 beloved years and together raised their son, Greg. Tim loved hunting on Bloss Mountain near Ogdensburg with his brothers and favorite nephew, Hunter (Lindsey) Dibble along with other special neices and nephews. Although he never bagged that big buck, Tim enjoyed the woods, wildlife and all nature had to offer.
He could often be seen relaxing on his porch watching the birds or just looking around the house admiring his beautiful lawn and homestead. He was a talented woodworker and carpenter. One of Tim’s favorite pastimes was going with “the gang” and visiting different Casinos.
He was a dedicated employee of Cummings Lumber in Troy. Tim worked as a log truck driver and took great pride in his job, retiring on May 29, 2021, following 37 years. Later, he enjoyed going for rides around the area reminiscing and telling where he had hauled logs from.
He was a simple down to earth man. Most of all was the love he shared for his family and if there was a family gathering or reunion, Tim was there.
He leaves behind his wife, Vicky, son, Gregory Dibble, three brothers, Paul (Willie) Dibble, Denny (Sandy) Dibble and Max (Sheila) Dibble all of Canton, a sister, Darlene Atkinson of Montoursville, several special brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, nieces, nephews, cousins, dear friends and a special mom, Delores Hartford of Troy.
Besides his parents, Tim was predeceased by, an infant daughter, Stephanie Dibble, three siblings and their spouses, Louise (Don) Ward, Janice (Ed) Lodge and Stewart Dibble as well as his Dachshund canine friends, Duke and Lionel
