Timothy Boyd Gamble

Timothy Boyd Gamble passed away peacefully on November 15, 2023. His last days were spent at UPMC Osteopathic Hospital Harrisburg, PA surrounded by his beloved family and friends.

Born on October 8, 1949, to Boyd and Marie Gamble, Tim grew up Robinson, PA and graduated from United High School. Tim proudly served his country in the United States Navy during the Vietnam War. During his Military career, Tim was awarded the National Defense Service Medal, the Meritorious Unit Commendation Ribbon, and the Navy Achievement Medal. He graduated from the University of South Carolina with a bachelor’s degree in Business.

He later moved to Harrisburg/Enola PA where he then retired and spent his days volunteering for the DAV, participating in the choir at Mount Gretna and Cornwall United Methodist, and spending time with his grandchildren and close friends.
