Timothy Ray Stonecipher

I graduated from Cornell University with a degree in aeronautical engineering and Ohio State with my law degree.  I am married, with 7 children, a Navy veteran(serving as an engineering officer on a destroyer escort during the Vietnam era) and active in my local church, the chamber of commerce, local development corporation, and arts council. I have served on numerous not-for-profit boards of trustees.

The guiding principle of my life has been to help others.  I feel I owe a tremendous debt to my parents, who survived the depression and especially to my father, who fought in WWII, and sacrificed so much to give me the opportunities I've had. 

 I spend time with my clients trying to identify solutions that honor all that are involved and create, for each of them, an awareness of the legacy they are creating.  As my good friend, a funeral director, always says, "There's no U-Haul hooked to a hearse", I try to point out the higher, enduring goals one can attain with carefully directed and developed estate plans.  And, when the situation involves medical emergencies, we move quickly with home or hospital visits to help clients attain quick, decisive results. 

Character and faith base are the touchstones for my staff and our services.
