OSWEGO – Timothy J. Cahill, 81, of Oswego, New York, passed at home, surrounded by his loving family, on March 6, 2022.
Born and raised in Oswego, he was the son of the late Jennings and Jane (McCaffrey) Cahill.
Tim was employed by the city of Oswego Department of Public Works as a heavy equipment operator, for 30 years. He had a passion for classic cars, was an avid race fan who followed NASCAR, and never missed a race at the Oswego Speedway. He was also an animal lover and enjoyed working on his Koi fish pond.
Timothy loved Christmas and playing Santa for family and friends. Tim adored his family, but his pride and joy was his Granddaughter Emma. He was considered one of the favorite Uncles.
