Arthur Joseph Timpe, Jr., 78, died on November 8, 2022, surrounded by his loved ones. A truly gentle man, his was a life well spent, focused on family.
He was born in Indianapolis on April 8, 1944, to Arthur J. and Loretta M. (Schott) Timpe. An only child, he was one of many cousins growing up in their tight-knit south side Catholic community.
The next 52 years were full of fun, family, and fellowship. Art earned his CPA certificate and after several jobs in the corporate world, set out on his own as Arthur J. Timpe, Jr. CPA. His small office on 16th Street sat in the shadow of the IMS. He loved auto racing and had many friends and clients associated with the track throughout the years. At home, he and Nancy raised five children mostly on the south side, attending St.
Art never knew a stranger and enjoyed meeting new people on every occasion.
He was thrilled to pass on his CPA practice to his two oldest sons in retirement. He and Nancy then split their time between Indianapolis, Florida, and California.
Art is survived by his loving wife, Nancy J. (Schwab) Timpe, and children Arthur J. Timpe III (Jennifer) and Lori Herrera of Indianapolis, IN; Gary M. Timpe (Wendy Esterline) of Carmel, IN; Sharon A. Tebbe (Matt) of Fishers, IN; and Edward J. Timpe (Prarthana Mohan) of Santa Clarita, CA. He is also survived by 12 grandchildren: Grace, Maggie and Sally Timpe; Jackson and Nick Herrera; Elyse and Ethan Timpe; Tobey and Lucy Esterline; Deacon and Celeste Tebbe; and Cyrus Timpe.
As you recall Art’s life, smile and be inspired by the daily words of encouragement he told his children as they parted each day, “Have fun, work hard, and learn lots of things.”
