Tim and Xinia at First Wedding


Tim at First Wedding with Xinia

Xinia describes the events before their first wedding:

Tim asked me to marry him, but we had difficulties determining a day which would allow all our kids to particpate in the ceremony. We spend one week trying to find suitable date but it was impossible to arrange with our 5 children calendars between works and universities commitments. Checking the various calendars, it would be two years before we could find a date.

The day that we picked up the marriage license, we decided to elope and 4 hours later we got married in a park near Andover.

A candle for Tim

This candle burns for Tim, sharing his memories with his friends and family. I took this time to share my Tai Chi with thoughts of the last time we danced this form together.

Light a candle in his memory

DR. TIMOTHY J. POLLARD 52, died October 30, 2008 in Barcelona, Spain. Tim was a devoted husband, a loving father and a dedicated physician and teacher. Tim loved music, poetry, Tai chi, cooking for and sharing meals with friends and loved ones. His laughter has now been stilled and will forever be missed.

Tim challenged the status quo. In his early 20’s Tim established a medical practice in a then-remote Alaskan town, a decade later he brought his medicine to the African Bush, another decade saw him as the South Pole’s physician, and most recently he was working toward living full-time in Costa Rica with Xinia, his wife.

Tim is survived by his wife Xinia; his son Turin, daughter Aerwen and their mother Joyce; his parents Wayne and Dorothy Pollard; his sisters Cathy, Terri, Toni; his brother Lloyd; and many friends and colleagues. Tim requested to be cremated and his family invites everyone to light a white candle in Tim’s memory at 12:00 noon EST this Saturday, November 29, 2008.

In Memory of Tim Pollard


Tim was great friend who was a joy to be with, enriched me with his insights, and encouraged me with his drive.
The intention is to have a place for thoughts, pictures and memories of Tim.
