Services for Tim Spiller will take place this Friday and Saturday, October 9 & 10, 2009.  You are invited on behalf of his family to come and help honor this man who faithfully served his country, his family, and most of all his Savior.
A military graveside service will be held Friday, 10/9/09, 11:45 a.m., at Riverside National Cemetery.  The cemetery is located on Van Buren Blvd. just west of the 215 freeway in southeast Riverside.  Meet at staging area #4, exactly between 11:30-11:40AM.  This is a very busy cemetery and there could be quite a bit of traffic.  You might want to arrive early as possible to become familiar with the area, however, be at the staging area at the indicated time slot.  Staging area will not be available prior to 11:30AM.
Directions to the cemetery:  Take 10 west to the 215.  Go south into Riverside to the 215/60/91 interchange.  Take the 215 “south” toward Moreno Valley.  Where the 215 & 60 split, take the 215 south to the Van Buren Boulevard exit.  Go west on Van Buren approximately 1/2 mile to the cemetery entrance.  Turn south into the cemetery and proceed to staging area #4.
 
The memorial service will be held on Saturday, 10/10/09, 5:00 p.m., at the church.  There will be a reception after the service.

I am deeply saddened to inform you at the passing of Lt Col (Ch) Tim Spiller. He was a great American and an outstanding member of CAP.  He was squadron 5’s chaplain for 29 years, a WWII Marine veteran of numerous Pacific campaigns including Iwo Jima, Saipan, Midway and others.
The stars shine a little dimmer tonight for the loss of a great person, friends to all and a kind soul. We celebrate his life with a tribute page we have at our squadron’s web site, please reference the following link http://sq5.cawg.cap.gov/TimTribute.html. Also, to activate both video clips, please click on the screens.  I have attached a picture of Col. Spiller receiving one of his many CAP awards.
