Timber Valley was saddened to hear of the passing of Richard Taylor formerly of Lot 131 on January 7, 2026.
Richard was born in 1935 and was 90 years old. During his working years he was a truck driver. He met and married Vina about 1954. They had two children, Mike and Terri. Terri passed away in 2015. They started RVing in a motor home and then a 5th wheel. They traveled extensively. They got their lot in Timber Valley April 7, 1998 and upgraded to a newer, larger 5th wheel. Both Richard and Vina were very involved in the park. Richard was a sound man for the clubhouse. He also worked with PCM and Maintenance. Vina served on many committees. As their health declined, they moved to Linus Oaks in Roseburg, Oregon in October of 2023.
Richard is survived by his wife, Vina, son Mike and Vina’s niece, Trish Hall of Lot 177. Vina is now residing with her son Mike in Stage Coach, Nevada.

Not to seem like a show off, but, I think I have a passing acquaintance with the English language. I know quite a few words, and, usually which ones go first, which ones make you laugh, which ones make you cry and, most importantly, which ones make you think. It’s the little nuances that get me. Trying to figure out where to put a comma sometimes puts me in a coma. (Parenthetically speaking), I’m not always certain what to do with parentheses. You know, the little smileys that stand up.

A great way to start the morning with interesting people and wonderful muffins that Denis will make at home and bring to us as the oven is not working.

Let me start by thanking some of those who helped make the success that we have had. The people who helped cook, prepare food, those who cleaned up, others who served food and that was just about our wonderful meal.
Thanks to those who donated food, cash, personal care items and then showed up to pack the boxes and carry them to the truck that the food bank had sent.
A special thanks to those who helped decorate, create and post signs. I’m sure I have forgotten others. But you can see that it takes a lot of our members to pull off an event like this.
With all that help we gathered together for a New Year’s luncheon, played games (football throw was a success) and watched a little football on TV as well as getting to know some of our neighbors.
As a recap, the first year we collected 625 pounds of food and donated $1,337.38. The second year we collected 890 pounds of food and donated $2,159.00.
Here is the final count for this, our third year. We, as a park, donated 684 pounds of food and personal care items. We collected $3,516.00.
Congratulations to all of you!
Again thanks to all who helped, donated and attended.
Sincerely, Joy Stalnaker
