\"Tim<\/a>Tim Segger<\/strong>, who served UFV in several administrative capacities until his retirement in 2010, passed away on November 23, 2015 after a battle with cancer.<\/p>\n

Tim joined what was then Fraser Valley College in 1979 as a sessional instructor in the Criminal Justice department, to which he was later appointed as a member of faculty.<\/p>\n

When he retired in 2010, it was from the role of Vice President of Administration.<\/p>\n

In between Tim played a key role the early stages of developing international education partnerships and formal fundraising strategies while seconded to a role as Associate Dean Institutional Development. He was subsequently appointed as Associate Dean of College Planning and Development, and later appointed as Vice President of Learning and Student Success.<\/p>\n

Throughout his career Tim was known for his sense of humour, his love of a good (and often painful) pun, his compassion, and for the intellectual depth he brought to tasks and issues.<\/p>\n

He was also well known for his devotion to his family, his commitment to fitness, his love of cars, and his affection for the rural life on his Bradner hobby farm.<\/p>\n

Tim leaves his wife Cynthia, and sons Colin and Mike, along with Mike\u2019s wife Lianne and their daughter Brook-Lyn, to mourn his passing.<\/p>\n

The family is planning a quiet celebration of life in the new year. Those of you who would like to pass on thoughts about Tim are invited to send cards or emails to Eleanor Busse-Klassen, who has graciously agreed to ensure that everything reaches the family.
