Timothy Herty

Timothy Holmes Herty, 80, of Towson, Maryland, passed away on February 11, 2021, with his wife by his side.

He was born to parents, Charles Holmes Herty Jr. and Kathleen Malloy Herty, on June 6, 1940, in Lehigh, Pennsylvania.  Tim graduated from Choate Rosemary Hall and received a BA in English from Virginia  Military Institute in 1963.  Tim served as a second lieutenant in the Army while stationed at Fort Knox, Kentucky and then fulfilled his reserve obligations in Baltimore from September 1963 to August 1971. Tim worked for more than 25 years at Bethlehem Steel in the Rod and Wire Division.  After retirement, Tim became an insurance agent.

He married Lois, the love of his life, in 1966, who survives Tim.  Tim is also survived by his daughter Carolyn Herty Harris, son John Malloy Herty and sister Roo Herty Brown as well as his beloved grandchildren, Katelynn Elizabeth Herty, Collin Malloy Herty, Jackson Kenneth Herty, Elizabeth “Ellie” Mary Katherine Harris, and Gabrielle “Gabby” Grace Harris.    He also leaves behind Kevin Peel, his sister and brother-in-law Carol and Dave Thompson and their children, Douglas Thompson, Bryan and Annette Thompson and their children Mary Rose and Jake, Glenn Thompson and Chrissy and Matt Krug and their children Maison and Eddie.

Tim was predeceased by his brother Charles Holmes Herty III and his wife Jacqueline and their daughter Susan, his sister Dorothea Herty Ashworth and her husband Dennis and their son Stephen Herty Tropp. Tim also leaves his nieces, K. Elizabeth Brown, Kathleen Herty Stanton, Christine Orlen and nephews Charles Herty Brown, Timothy Candee Brown, Joseph William Tropp and Michael Allen Tropp and great nieces and nephews.

Tim cherished his family and showed his dedication to them by spending much of his time with his wife, children and grandchildren.  You could find Tim and his family in Clemson attire on Saturdays cheering on the Tigers. He had a passion for biking, especially with his wife and friends.  Tim also enjoyed gardening, completing his “honey-do” lists, Bible Study Fellowship,  Promise Keepers and a good song or joke.

He was a man of great faith.  While he had plenty of hobbies, he devoted much of his time feeding the homeless through Christ Nourishes Ministry. 

Tim will be greatly missed by all who knew him.  His tireless love and devotion were evident in his final weeks and days.

Memorial contributions in honor of Tim can be made to Emmanuel Episcopal Church, PO Box 628, Bel Air, MD 21214 for their Outreach-Ministry.
