Sincere condolences to the family for your loss.  May beautiful memories of happy times shared bring you peace.  May God comfort each of you during your time of mourning.

Ruthie and I and our boys have been indeed Blessed and honored to have had the pure to enjoy Timau friendship for 60 years,and the boys over 40 yea.
Timau and I spent many enjoyable days together Sport Fishing inshore and offshore in Louisana and bone fish and Tarpon in the keys. I ways looked forward to Timaus and Maumaus spending time together at our home on Duck Key.
A couple of my many highlites are with Timau  having Maumus with him and fishing    Priscilla on their honeymoon, which they spent in the Fla Keyes
I truly enjoyed fishing with him for his nationality known Tagging program. along with my son,Karl and brother in law Dr. Ted Tedesco of Houma,LA  It was an honor when
Timau nominated me to serve  for the Gulf HighlyMgratory Fish Council
in the 80's His dedicated Sport Fishing contribution are well respected world wide.
He and his devoted family will always  be in our prayers. Timau and Maumus friendship  will always be treasure. Ruth and Billy

I am so sad to learn about Timau's passing.  He was a wonderful friend to my dear, belated brother, Bill Porteous.  My condolences to Timau's son, who I met once a good while ago, and also to Priscilla.  I know Timau and Bill will be laughing it up in heaven, waiting for all of us to arrive!  Much love, Anne Porteous Vickery

I am so saddened to hear of Timau's passing. Timau was a dear friend to me during a time of great pain and confusion, always intelligent, witty, gentlemanly and kind. He helped me to heal by taking me fishing and thereby reminded me of the cathartic joys of fishing in the Louisiana bayous! I used to watch Timau catch, tag and release fish, all the while so excited because he was doing some real good in helping to monitor their health and sustainability. (He also thoroughly enjoyed fishing with his son, Maumus, who could really out-fish with his flyfishing rod! I was glad to hear that Timau took it up in earnest as well). But there was so much more to Timau besides fishing, and it shows in so many different ways. He certainly was an amazing force. I know that the family and many good friends will miss him very much, and I pray that our Gracious God comforts all who will miss him dearly. With much love,

My sincere condolences.  Mau was an amazing man, who devoted a great deal of energy and passion to fish conservation and management from red snapper to blue marlin.  He was valuable in national and international fishery meetings. He was the only person I know who remembered the date the Japanese longline fleet was run out of the Gulf of Mexico, a great accomplishment to which he was a mover and shaker.

He served on the board of The Billfish Foundation and being the organization's president that gave me the opportunity to work with him. We valued his service and friendship.

I miss his smile! He will be missed.

Please accept condolences on the loss of your dear family member. May the scripture at Psalms 29:11 bring you comfort today and in the following days ahead.

I had the honor and privilege to guide as well as be guided by TiMau over the years.  He was a life long friend of our family's.  I will miss his positive emails as well as  his phone calls always in pursuit of new information on how to catch fish.
Sorry I can not be at the service in person, but know I will be there in my heart. RIP TiMau

what a great man,  I will never forget the early morning jun of 03 walking in to the clubhouse at port eads, we had caught what turned in to an 1152 lb Bluefin tuna, at about 4:30 AM I ran in to timau, in his PJs, and told him he should come to the dock and see what we had. he came right out, and was as astounded as the rest of us. he loved that moment, and he loved fishing, and he loved the people around fishing. I will never forget him. and I will never forget that.
 my deepest condolences to the family.
RIP Timau.

I only met Timau a few times, the last time being when he parked his fishing boat at Elsa's house. We also spoke several times about legal issues and I found him to be fair and honest while also being kind and tough. A good man. My condolences to all family members as he will certainly be missed. God bless his journey.

So sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in prayer.
