Obituary
Timothy J. Deierling of Laguna Niguel, CA passed away on December 16, 2008, after a courageous 2-year battle with cancer. He was with some of the people who were most meaningful to him, and he was an inspiration to all of us in his fight to survive. Many of us who could not be with him had the opportunity in the last days of his life, to thank him for his great friendship. Tim was born in Hawarden, Iowa on January 26, 1955 to Fred and Dianne Deierling. He spent most of his early years in Carroll, Iowa and graduated from the University of Iowa in 1978. Tim’s hard work and dedication to JCPenney led to many significant assignments with the company culminating in appointment as District Manager for all JCPenney stores in the southern half of the Los Angeles area.
All of us who knew Tim well appreciated the timing, appropriateness, and dryness of his sense of humor. Tim was known for his love of the Beatles and their music, BMW’s, and good scotch. He was to the end a fierce fan of the Denver Bronco’s and loved to educate anyone that would listen about the dominance of Iowa Hawkeye wrestling.
Tim is survived by his wife Cathy Holt and her children Kimberlee and Greg; a brother Dave Linda of Ramsey, MN; a brother Bill Marlene of Buena Park, CA; one aunt, Irene Marstrelli of Stillwater, OH; two nieces, Amy Deierling of Minneapolis, MN and Rebecca Deierling of Mandan, ND; and so many great friends, neighbors, and business associates. He was taken from us far too early, but we all will hold his memory in our hearts for the rest of our lives.

My dear friend Bush, or Timmykins like Diane always called you…I will truly miss you but I will always have the wonderful memories of our friendship of 40+ years, NEVER a dull moment! Obviously, by the many phone calls I have had and the tributes that I have read, you have touched the lives of so many people. I thank you for our friendship, you will always be a huge part of my life. When God decides it is my time, we will start all over again. “Rock ‘n roll music to the world…” I love you pal, Geno

My condolences to all of Mont’s family and friends. Too many great moments over the past 40+ years with Mont to list from Carroll, IaCity, Denver etc. We did have our regular conversations to discuss the Hawkeyes, music, scotch for which I am thankful for. Spent lots of time with him in his 1 room ‘apt’ in IC. What a sight! Mont was like Abe Lincoln in his chair that had no legs, his books and the rest of our study materials within arm’s reach. Mont, you were one of a kind, and I will miss you terribly, and will always remember, ‘you can’t drive 55’. I know you’re smiling down upon us. Rest well my friend……
Love,
Greg
