A cherished husband for 59 years to Bonnie Currier Hyde, their love was a cornerstone of his life. Born in Hartford on November 23, 1943, Tim was the son of the late Timothy and Veronica Purdy Hyde. A proud graduate of Bulkeley High School’s class of 1962, Tim served his country with honor in the U.
S. Army during the Vietnam War. His military service reflected his deep sense of duty and patriotism, values that shaped him throughout his life.
Tim built a successful career as a Telecommunications Marketing and IT Executive, working with Southern New England Telephone and Aetna Insurance before retiring. He was a passionate supporter of UCONN Men’s and Women’s Basketball and loved spending time on the golf course with his closest friends, enjoying many of Connecticut’s finest courses. He loved spending the winters in Jupiter Florida soaking up the sunshine and ocean.
Above all else, Tim was a man devoted to his family. His marriage to Bonnie was marked by profound love and partnership. He was a dedicated father to his daughters, Elizabeth and Allison, guiding them with a steady hand and a full heart.
Tim instilled in his girls the virtues of hard work, compassion, and integrity. He took great pride in their accomplishments, and his love for them was evident in every word and gesture. Being a grandfather to Tim and Karlene and a great-grandfather to Ryland brought him immense happiness.
Tim is survived by his beloved wife, Bonnie, and his daughters, Elizabeth (Neil) Welles of Newington and Allison (Thomas) Ganley of Newington. He also leaves behind his cherished grandchildren, Timothy (Kayla) Welles of Rocky Hill, and Karlene Welles (Cameron Rivest) of Newington, as well as his great-grandchild, Ryland Welles of Rocky Hill.
