Married '''[[Albert James Timko]]''' on April 22, 1950 at Sts. Cyril and Methodius Catholic Church in Warren, Trumbull County, Ohio. Pauline was a pretty and caring young woman, who was prone to fits of giggles. She was the youngest of ten children and was quick with her smiles and wit. One only has to look at her early photographs to see examples of that ever present smile. It’s no wonder that my Uncle Albert was drawn to her. She was a frequent visitor to the Timko home as she was best friends with Albert’s sister Elizabeth. I was told Albert once comment to her that he was going to marry her and she replied “We’ll see.” Whether or not those were the true words of their exchange, Albert was smitten by her and it wasn’t too long before he proposed to Pauline..

The couple had seven children: four boys - Albert James Jr., Allen Jeffery, Timothy James and Ronald Lawrence, and three girls - Sheryl Ann, Paulette Suzette and Louise Karen.

Albert and Pauline began their lives together at a house at 792 Fourth Street SW on the southwest side of Warren, Trumbull County, Ohio. It was a house that Pauline purchased from her father before Albert and her were married. It was only a few houses down from the house of Albert's parents. The industrious Pauline rented out the upper portion of the house to one of her brothers in order to pay the monthly mortgage payment.

It wasn't until 1957, that the couple decided to build their own house to accommodate their rapidly growing family which included two boys and a girl by then. The couple bought a parcel of land at 2886 North Leavitt Road NW in the northwest corner of Warren, Trumbull County, Ohio where they built their new house. Pauline lived the remainder of her life in that house.

* Lived at 2886 North Leavitt Road in Leavittsburg, Trumbull County, Ohio for the remaining years of her life.

== Working Years ==
Pauline was a homemaker for 44 years.

Previously, she was an employee of Grinnell Corporation. Prior to Grinnell she was employed at William Edwards Produce Company.

After her marriage, in later years, she kept the books of her husband's business, Warren Burglar Alarm Systems.

== Personal Life ==
She enjoyed bowling, playing cards and dancing.

She also was a member of TOPPS in Warren, Trumbull County, Ohio. TOPS was a small social group of ladies and friends that gathered at each other’s home to socialize and play cards or various games. Dinners out to a restaurant were occasional. They were happy, loud and laughing.

Her nephew Edward Timko Jr remembered that she could whistle louder than any person he ever met. She was also very good at flying kites as she gave him lessons in his backyard. She had the kite in the air in no time and the kite soared so high that he nephew thought he would never get it back down to the ground again

== Death ==

Edward Timko Jr.: /* Family Years */

''Page edited 31-March-2026. ET''[[File:Albert James Timko Sr (Taken 1965).jpg|thumb|250x250px|Albert James Timko Sr (1965)]]
Albert James Timko was born on March 3, 1928 in Dixonville, Indiana County, Pennsylvania. He was the youngest son '''[[Joseph John Timko Sr.|Joseph John Timko]]''' and [[Anna Veronica Berish|'''Anna Veronica Beris'''h]] and the last of their children to be born in Pennsylvania.

== Description ==
Albert had a slender build and stood about 5 foot 8 inch in height. He was clean shaven with dark brown, wavy hair and blue eyes. In his later years he wore corrective eyeglasses.

== Early Years ==
[[File:A Young Edward and Albert Timko.jpg|thumb|325x325px|A Young Edward and Albert Timko]]'''Childhood''' - While Albert was born in Dixonville, Indiana County Pennsylvania, he only lived there for a few months as the Joseph John Timko Sr family moved to Warren, Trumbull County, Ohio in 1928. This gave Albert the unique distinction of being the last of the Joseph Timko Jr. children to be born in Pennsylvania.

Albert’s family often balanced themselves on that fine line between comfort and poverty. While the children never went hungry, they were not awash in the niceties of life. The children did not have many toys but were never at a loss for other sources of entertainment. Albert often told the story of how he, his brother Edward, and possibly his brother Stephen, decided to build a boat. It is presumed they wanted to take it on the Mahoning River to fish or possibly just for the bragging-rights that they had actually constructed a boat. They spent days gathering the materials, nails and wood, and then began to assemble their crude nautical craft. When it become evident the craft would leak, to seal the numerous cracks and seams, they gathered tar from the surrounding streets, melted it and filled the numerous voids. Presumably, they took the craft for its maiden voyage. Unfortunately, boatbuilding was not one of their innate skills and the craft never stayed afloat, at least for its intended purpose.

In later years, Albert shared a bed with his older brother Edward. It seems Albert was not known to be an early riser. On one occasion Edward, who had worked late the previous evening, was trying to sleep and Albert was being called from downstairs to wake up. Not wanting to leave his warm bed, Albert was doing his best to ignore the unwanted summons. Finally, Edward frustrated by the continual interruptions of his sleep took matters into his own hands, so to speak. He placed his foot behind Albert's back and shoved him out of the bed and onto the floor with a resounding thump. it was only when the family members downstairs heard the loud thump from overhead did they know that Albert was finally up.

== Education ==
In Warren, Trumbull County, Ohio, Albert first attended First Street Elementary School at the corner of Highland Avenue and First Street. As the family moved to other locations in the area, he then attended Todd Avenue Elementary School that was located behind the famous Hot Dog Shoppe at Todd and Buckeye Streets. When it came time to attend junior high school, he attended West Junior High School on Palmyra Road.

He was promoted to West Junior High School in Warren, Trumbull County, Ohio on January 26, 1940.

During the waning years of World War II, Albert quit high school to enlist in the U.S. Marine Corps in 1945. Being under age, he needed a parent's signed permission which he received. Albert served four years in the service. When he was discharged he completed his high school education. He graduated from Warren G. Harding High School in Warren, Trumbull County, Ohio on January 27, 1949.

== Religion ==
Albert was baptized into the Catholic faith on 18 March 1928 at Sacred Heart Church in Dixonville, Indiana County, Pennsylvania.

He received his First Holy Communion on 9 May 1937 at Sts. Cyril and Methodius Catholic Church in Warren, Trumbull County, Ohio.

In his early years he was a member of Sts. Cyril and Methodius Catholic Church in Warren, Trumbull County, Ohio.

In his later years, he became a member of St. Williams Catholic Church in Champion, Trumbull County, Ohio and an active member of the Knights of Columbus (Council #7491).

He was a godfather to his nephews Edward John Timko Jr. and Kenneth Joseph Timko.[[File:Albert James Timko Sr in uniform.jpg|thumb|275x275px|Albert James Timko Sr in uniform]]

== Military Service Years ==
S/Sgt Albert James Timko, Sr served in the '''[[U.S. Marine Corps]]''' during World War II. He began serving on 22 Aug 1945 (Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio) and was discharged on 21 Aug 1949 (USMCAS, Cherry Point, North Carolina). He served as a Cosair aircraft mechanic while stationed in China. He reenlisted in the '''[[U.S. Army Reserves]]''' as a sergeant and served in Graves Registration. He was awarded the WWII Victory Medal, China Service Medal, Marine Corps Good Conduct Medal, American Theatre Campaign Medal and the Asiatic-Pacific Medal.<ref>United States Marine Corps Honorable Discharge Certificatge, Albert James Timko</ref>

Albert enlisted in the Corps during the waning years of World War II. When asked why he wanted to join, he replied that he didn’t want to “miss the war.” In fact, at the time of his enlistment, Al was too young to enlist without his mother’s permission. It would have to be one of the hardest duties a mother would be asked to perform. However, Baba signed the documents allowing her son to become a Marine.

During his time in the Corps, he served at a variety of duty stations in support of the push towards the end of the war in the Japanese Theatre of Operations. On board a ship bound for China, with hundreds of other Marines who were far away from home for the first time, Albert was shocked to learn one of his long-time friends, Gene Sanders, from his old neighborhood, was also aboard ship. For someone who was thousands of miles from home, that meeting proved to make for a more enjoyable trip.

Albert served with the Marines as a Corsair aircraft mechanic while stationed in China, earning him the distinction of being a “China Marine.” The term China Marine originally referred to those United States Marines from the 4th Marine Regiment who were stationed in Shanghai, China from 1927 - 1941. They served to protect American citizens and their property in the Shanghai International Settlement during the Chinese Revolution and the Second Sino-Japanese War. Later, another group of Marines, also referred as China Marines, were those of the 1st and 6th Marine Divisions sent to occupy northern China after the surrender of Japan at the end of World War II, from 1945 – 1948.

Albert’s time in China was cut short due to the rise to power of Mao Tse Tung and his followers who directed that the Marines leave their land. He also served on the USS Midway and served tours in California and Cherry Point, NC, the largest U.S. Marine airbase in the world at that time.

He later served with the American Graves Registration Division at Columbus, Ohio until he was discharged as a Master Sergeant E6. Albert was always proud of his rapid advancement to Master Sergeant. After his discharge from the Marine Corps, he returned to work as a forklift mechanic at the Lordstown Ordnance Depot in Warren, Ohio for a couple of years.

Edward Timko Jr.: /* Early Years */

''Page edited 31-March-2026. ET''

Born on August 9, 1954 at St. Joseph Hospital in Warren, Trumbull County, Ohio. She was the third oldest child of '''[[Albert James Timko]]''' and '''[[Pauline Joann Petiya]]'''.

== Description ==
Sheryl was of average build and height. She had brown hair and brown eyes. She wore eyeglasses in her later years.

== Early Years ==

* '''Childhood -''' Paulette when by the nickname "Shay Shay."
** On April 1, 1955, while the young family of Albert and Pauline (Petiya) Timko were living in their home on Fourth Street, they were confronted with a life-changing experience. One of their young children was going to be horribly injured. That evening started with a young Pauline in the kitchen making the evening dinner while her husband Al was stretched out on the couch. Pauline had to leave the kitchen for a moment and she left the food cooking. It just happened that their oldest daughter Sheryl was a toddler at the time and was learning to walk by holding on to the furniture. She somehow found her way into the kitchen and began walking along the kitchen wall. When she reached the counter, she became entangled with the cord of the hot deep fryer. As she started to move away, she pulled the deep fryer on herself. The hot oil poured out onto her lower body and suddenly the quiet evening was filled with the screams of a badly burned child. What happened next was a bit of a blur. Albert and Pauline rushed to help their daughter. A neighbor Wanda who was a nurse living upstairs came down to their aid. Sheryl spent the next six weeks in St. Joseph’s Hospital while the staff used the newly-developed technique of using detergents to keep the damaged area clean. Sheryl survived the burns to her legs and in time she might have even forgotten about the whole experience if not for the scars that would remain with her for the rest of her life. However, if you were to meet her on the street today, you would be greeted by a woman with a broad smile and a twinkle in her eye. Sometimes time does heal all wounds.<ref>Moj Rodina newsletter [9-1-2014, Page 1, Timko/Berish Family Newsletter]</ref>

Edward Timko Jr.: /* Family Years */

''Page edited 31-March-2026. ET''[[File:Albert James Timko Sr (Taken 1965).jpg|thumb|250x250px|Albert James Timko Sr (1965)]]
Albert James Timko was born on March 3, 1928 in Dixonville, Indiana County, Pennsylvania. He was the youngest son '''[[Joseph John Timko Sr.|Joseph John Timko]]''' and [[Anna Veronica Berish|'''Anna Veronica Beris'''h]] and the last of their children to be born in Pennsylvania.

== Description ==
Albert had a slender build and stood about 5 foot 8 inch in height. He was clean shaven with dark brown, wavy hair and blue eyes. In his later years he wore corrective eyeglasses.

== Early Years ==
[[File:A Young Edward and Albert Timko.jpg|thumb|325x325px|A Young Edward and Albert Timko]]'''Childhood''' - While Albert was born in Dixonville, Indiana County Pennsylvania, he only lived there for a few months as the Joseph John Timko Sr family moved to Warren, Trumbull County, Ohio in 1928. This gave Albert the unique distinction of being the last of the Joseph Timko Jr. children to be born in Pennsylvania.

Albert’s family often balanced themselves on that fine line between comfort and poverty. While the children never went hungry, they were not awash in the niceties of life. The children did not have many toys but were never at a loss for other sources of entertainment. Albert often told the story of how he, his brother Edward, and possibly his brother Stephen, decided to build a boat. It is presumed they wanted to take it on the Mahoning River to fish or possibly just for the bragging-rights that they had actually constructed a boat. They spent days gathering the materials, nails and wood, and then began to assemble their crude nautical craft. When it become evident the craft would leak, to seal the numerous cracks and seams, they gathered tar from the surrounding streets, melted it and filled the numerous voids. Presumably, they took the craft for its maiden voyage. Unfortunately, boatbuilding was not one of their innate skills and the craft never stayed afloat, at least for its intended purpose.

In later years, Albert shared a bed with his older brother Edward. It seems Albert was not known to be an early riser. On one occasion Edward, who had worked late the previous evening, was trying to sleep and Albert was being called from downstairs to wake up. Not wanting to leave his warm bed, Albert was doing his best to ignore the unwanted summons. Finally, Edward frustrated by the continual interruptions of his sleep took matters into his own hands, so to speak. He placed his foot behind Albert's back and shoved him out of the bed and onto the floor with a resounding thump. it was only when the family members downstairs heard the loud thump from overhead did they know that Albert was finally up.

== Education ==
In Warren, Trumbull County, Ohio, Albert first attended First Street Elementary School at the corner of Highland Avenue and First Street. As the family moved to other locations in the area, he then attended Todd Avenue Elementary School that was located behind the famous Hot Dog Shoppe at Todd and Buckeye Streets. When it came time to attend junior high school, he attended West Junior High School on Palmyra Road.

He was promoted to West Junior High School in Warren, Trumbull County, Ohio on January 26, 1940.

During the waning years of World War II, Albert quit high school to enlist in the U.S. Marine Corps in 1945. Being under age, he needed a parent's signed permission which he received. Albert served four years in the service. When he was discharged he completed his high school education. He graduated from Warren G. Harding High School in Warren, Trumbull County, Ohio on January 27, 1949.

== Religion ==
Albert was baptized into the Catholic faith on 18 March 1928 at Sacred Heart Church in Dixonville, Indiana County, Pennsylvania.

He received his First Holy Communion on 9 May 1937 at Sts. Cyril and Methodius Catholic Church in Warren, Trumbull County, Ohio.

In his early years he was a member of Sts. Cyril and Methodius Catholic Church in Warren, Trumbull County, Ohio.

In his later years, he became a member of St. Williams Catholic Church in Champion, Trumbull County, Ohio and an active member of the Knights of Columbus (Council #7491).

He was a godfather to his nephews Edward John Timko Jr. and Kenneth Joseph Timko.[[File:Albert James Timko Sr in uniform.jpg|thumb|275x275px|Albert James Timko Sr in uniform]]

== Military Service Years ==
S/Sgt Albert James Timko, Sr served in the '''[[U.S. Marine Corps]]''' during World War II. He began serving on 22 Aug 1945 (Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio) and was discharged on 21 Aug 1949 (USMCAS, Cherry Point, North Carolina). He served as a Cosair aircraft mechanic while stationed in China. He reenlisted in the '''[[U.S. Army Reserves]]''' as a sergeant and served in Graves Registration. He was awarded the WWII Victory Medal, China Service Medal, Marine Corps Good Conduct Medal, American Theatre Campaign Medal and the Asiatic-Pacific Medal.<ref>United States Marine Corps Honorable Discharge Certificatge, Albert James Timko</ref>

Albert enlisted in the Corps during the waning years of World War II. When asked why he wanted to join, he replied that he didn’t want to “miss the war.” In fact, at the time of his enlistment, Al was too young to enlist without his mother’s permission. It would have to be one of the hardest duties a mother would be asked to perform. However, Baba signed the documents allowing her son to become a Marine.

During his time in the Corps, he served at a variety of duty stations in support of the push towards the end of the war in the Japanese Theatre of Operations. On board a ship bound for China, with hundreds of other Marines who were far away from home for the first time, Albert was shocked to learn one of his long-time friends, Gene Sanders, from his old neighborhood, was also aboard ship. For someone who was thousands of miles from home, that meeting proved to make for a more enjoyable trip.

Albert served with the Marines as a Corsair aircraft mechanic while stationed in China, earning him the distinction of being a “China Marine.” The term China Marine originally referred to those United States Marines from the 4th Marine Regiment who were stationed in Shanghai, China from 1927 - 1941. They served to protect American citizens and their property in the Shanghai International Settlement during the Chinese Revolution and the Second Sino-Japanese War. Later, another group of Marines, also referred as China Marines, were those of the 1st and 6th Marine Divisions sent to occupy northern China after the surrender of Japan at the end of World War II, from 1945 – 1948.

Albert’s time in China was cut short due to the rise to power of Mao Tse Tung and his followers who directed that the Marines leave their land. He also served on the USS Midway and served tours in California and Cherry Point, NC, the largest U.S. Marine airbase in the world at that time.

He later served with the American Graves Registration Division at Columbus, Ohio until he was discharged as a Master Sergeant E6. Albert was always proud of his rapid advancement to Master Sergeant. After his discharge from the Marine Corps, he returned to work as a forklift mechanic at the Lordstown Ordnance Depot in Warren, Ohio for a couple of years.

My paternal Aunt Emma (Timko) Burin said that while driving with her mother Anna, Anna pointed to a small collection of houses next to the railroad tracks on Parkman and said that was the house the family lived in when they first arrived in the city. At the time, it never occurred to Emma to ask exactly which of the house had been the family's first home. However, from city records, the address would have to have been either 160, 170 or 178 Parkman Road, hence the 1xx designation.]

Born on August 9, 1954 at St. Joseph Hospital in Warren, Trumbull County, Ohio. She was the third oldest child of '''[[Albert James Timko]]''' and '''[[Pauline Joann Petiya]]'''.

== Description ==
Sheryl was of average build and height. She had brown hair and brown eyes. She wore eyeglasses in her later years.

== Early Years ==

* '''Childhood -''' Paulette when by the nickname "Shay Shay."
** On April 1, 1955, while the young family of Albert and Pauline (Petiya) Timko were living in their home on Fourth Street, they were confronted with a life-changing experience. One of their young children was going to be horribly injured. That evening started with a young Pauline in the kitchen making the evening dinner while her husband Al was stretched out on the couch. Pauline had to leave the kitchen for a moment and she left the food cooking. It just happened that their oldest daughter Sheryl was a toddler at the time and was learning to walk by holding on to the furniture. She somehow found her way into the kitchen and began walking along the kitchen wall. When she reached the counter, she became entangled with the cord of the hot deep fryer. As she started to move away, she pulled the deep fryer on herself. The hot oil poured out onto her lower body and suddenly the quiet evening was filled with the screams of a badly burned child. What happened next was a bit of a blur. Albert and Pauline rushed to help their daughter. A neighbor Wanda who was a nurse living upstairs came down to their aid. Sheryl spent the next six weeks in St. Joseph’s Hospital while the staff used the newly-developed technique of using detergents to keep the damaged area clean. Sheryl survived the burns to her legs and in time she might have even forgotten about the whole experience if not for the scars that would remain with her for the rest of her life. However, if you were to meet her on the street today, you would be greeted by a woman with a broad smile and a twinkle in her eye. Sometimes time does heal all wounds.<ref>Moj Rodina newsletter [9-1-2014, Page 1, Timko/Berish Family Newsletter]</ref>

== Military Service Years ==
PO1 Joseph John Timko, Jr served in the '''[[U.S. Navy]]''' during World War II. He began serving on 27 Apr 1942 and was discharged on 14 Oct 1945.<ref>US Department of Veterans Affairs BIRLS - Joseph J. Timko</ref> He served on the USS Ulvert M. Moore, a destroyer escort vessel as a metalsmith. He received the American Campaign badge, the European-African-Middle Eastern Campaign badge, Asiatic-Pacific Campaign badge, Philippine Liberation Medal, Philippine Presidential Citation Ribbon, and the Good Conduct Medal.

Joe was aboard the USS Ulvert M. Moore sailing through the Sea of Japan with the fleet when the ship on which Joe was assigned developed a problem and was disabled. Joe was tasked to go over the side into the ocean to determine the nature of the problem. He discovered a cable had become wrapped around the propeller and reported the situation to the Captain. As the fleet could not risk waiting for the disabled ship, it sailed on. To allow him a means of breathing underwater during the repair efforts, Joe and his mates rigged up a air hose to supply him with a steady supply of air while he worked to free the propeller.. Once back in the ocean with his makeshift air supply, he freed the propeller enabling the ship to rejoin the fleet.<ref>Interview - Eleanor Timko, by phone, 27 Oct 2010</ref>

During another patrol, Joseph John Timko Jr. was involved in a number of individual heroic actions while serving aboard the USS Moore, which clearly demonstrate his courage. As the article below documents, his actions did not go unnoticed. While on patrol in the Pacific, his battle group came under fire from Japanese fighters and a least one ship was severely damaged to the extent that sailors found themselves in the water. Joe, who was assigned as a rescue swimmer, jumped in to save as many men as possible. The following news item was printed in the local Warren newspaper and broadcast on The Youngstown Municipal Railway Company’s weekly broadcast, “These Are Your Boys.” The program was broadcast every Thursday at 8:15 P.M. on Radio Station WFMJ.

Roosevelt, Jr., USNR, son of the late president – and, Joseph J. Timko, Jr., 24, metal smith, first class, of Warren, Ohio, watched both attackers plunge into the sea.''
* ''Timko, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Timko, Sr., 4814 Oriole Pl., was at his repair party battle station when enemy planes were reported at 7:25 on the first night of action.''
* ''A formation of about nine Jap planes appeared, but apparently were “spotter” planes, for none ventured attack. Shortly before dawn, however, a Nip plane made a strafing run over Timko’s ship. Several hits were made by the DE’s guns and the plane crashed into the sea about 5,000 yards from the ship.''
* ''An enemy plane, on the second night of action, scored a near-miss in a bombing attack on the ship, which opened up with all antiaircraft. A flash of flame engulfed the plane’s starboard wing and cockpit, but the Jap pilot, intent on his mission, rolled his plane and headed a second time for the DE. He splashed into the water before reaching his intended target.''
* ''Timko, a Navy man since 1942, was lauded for his disregard for personal safety in one action in the Pacific when he swam into shark infester [sic] waters to rescue survivors from a sinking American vessel.''

Joseph Jr. was decorated for having jumped into the sea to save those sailors even though pools of burning fuel oil surrounded them. In later years, Joseph would speak lightly of his heroic deed. When asked about his bravery shown in diving into the burning sea, he replied, “I was pushed.” However, his version doesn’t take into account the lives of the sailors he saved, some of which stayed in contact him even after the war. Those survivors were always quick to remind him of how thankful they were for his heroic efforts in saving their lives. Joe bore burn scars from his heroic deed on both legs for the remainder of his life.

After Joseph was discharged he served in the '''[[U.S. Naval Reserves]]''' and served at the Warren Reserve Armory that was located in a quonset-like building located near Harding High School in Warren, Trumbull County, Ohio.

During the time the family was living in the "Projects" in the southwest side of Warren, Trumbull County, Ohio, Joe learned about his youngest son Dean's skill with a hammer. Joe and Martha had bought Dean a toy builder's set that contained, among other tools, a toy hammer. Apparently, one day Joe was napping on the couch when Dean decided to wake his father by "wacking" him in the forehead with his toy hammer. Now, one had to remember in those days, even thought the hammer was much smaller than a real hammer, it was still made of metal. Joe said that all he could remember was seeing stars and his head hurting.<ref>Memories of Jeannette Frances (Walker) Timko, 30 Jan 2011, as told to Edward John Timko Jr.</ref>

Born on July 2, 1921 in Aultman, Indiana County, Pennsylvania. He was their fourth child, and oldest son, of [[Joseph John Timko Sr.|J'''oseph John Timko''']] and [[Anna Veronica Berish|'''Anna Veronica Berish''']].
== Description ==
Joseph Jr. was a stocky individual who stood about 5 foot 9 inch in height. He was clean shaven with dark brown, wavy hair and brown eyes. On both his forearms, he wore tattoos from his time serving in the United States Navy.

== Early Years ==

* '''Childhood -''' Joseph was born and grew up in the coal-mining communities that made up central Indiana County, Pennsylvania. In 1928, at the age of 7 years old, he and his family moved to Warren, Trumbull County, Ohio.

** '''[[Albert James Timko]]'''
** '''[[Emma Marie Timko]]'''
** Dorothy Alice Timko

== Education ==
He completed the tenth grade at Warren G. Harding High School in Warren, Trumbull County, Ohio.

== Religion ==
On May 1, 1932 two of Joseph and Anna’s children celebrated their First Holy Communion together. Joseph John Jr and Stephen Michael received Holy Communion for the first time at Sts. Cyril & Methodius Catholic Church and by doing so were the first of the Timko children to do so in their new home of Warren.

[[File:Joseph John Timko Jr in Uniform.jpg|thumb|275x275px|Joseph John Timko Jr in uniform.]]

== Military Service Years ==
PO1 Joseph John Timko, Jr served in the '''[[U.S. Navy]]''' during World War II. He began serving on 27 Apr 1942 and was discharged on 14 Oct 1945.<ref>US Department of Veterans Affairs BIRLS - Joseph J. Timko</ref> He served on the USS Ulvert M. Moore, a destroyer escort vessel as a metalsmith. He received the American Campaign badge, the European-African-Middle Eastern Campaign badge, Asiatic-Pacific Campaign badge, Philippine Liberation Medal, Philippine Presidential Citation Ribbon, and the Good Conduct Medal.

Joe was aboard the USS Ulvert M. Moore sailing through the Sea of Japan with the fleet when the ship on which Joe was assigned developed a problem and was disabled. Joe was tasked to go over the side into the ocean to determine the nature of the problem. He discovered a cable had become wrapped around the propeller and reported the situation to the Captain. As the fleet could not risk waiting for the disabled ship, it sailed on. To allow him a means of breathing underwater during the repair efforts, Joe and his mates rigged up a air hose to supply him with a steady supply of air while he worked to free the propeller.. Once back in the ocean with his makeshift air supply, he freed the propeller enabling the ship to rejoin the fleet.<ref>Interview - Eleanor Timko, by phone, 27 Oct 2010</ref>

During another patrol, Joseph John Timko Jr. was involved in a number of individual heroic actions while serving aboard the USS Moore, which clearly demonstrate his courage. As the article below documents, his actions did not go unnoticed. While on patrol in the Pacific, his battle group came under fire from Japanese fighters and a least one ship was severely damaged to the extent that sailors found themselves in the water. Joe, who was assigned as a rescue swimmer, jumped in to save as many men as possible. The following news item was printed in the local Warren newspaper and broadcast on The Youngstown Municipal Railway Company’s weekly broadcast, “These Are Your Boys.” The program was broadcast every Thursday at 8:15 P.M. on Radio Station WFMJ.

The couple had six children;

* James Joseph Campbell
* Sara Anne Campbell
* George Michael Campbell
* Elizabeth Therese Campbell
* Marjorie Anne Campbell
* Dorothy Marie Campbell
After my Aunt Betty married George Yeager Campell, the young couple lived for a time in an attic apartment atop an old warehouse used by Allied/Burbank Van and Storage Company at 811 East Market Street (Apt. #1) in Warren, Trumbull County, Ohio. While some might view the living arrangemet as unique, they happened to live above two of George’s sisters, Clara and Ruth. Also, having no garage, it was not uncommon to find George working on his car in the alley behind the building. Betty and George lived in that attic apartment for a number of years during the time when they began to increase in number. It was in that apartment that both my cousins James Joseph and Sara Anne Campbell lived their first few years. In fact it was the birth of Sara that pushed the couple to look for larger accommodations.

There next residence was with Betty's mother '''[[Anna Veronica Berish]]''' Timko who was by then living alone at 1640 Oak Street SW in Warren, Trumbull County, Ohio after the death of her husband Joseph John Timko. Once again the couple found them living in an attic in the small house. They lived there until the birth of their third child George Michael when they were force to move into a rental house for a period of time. It was 1959, when they rented a half duplex on Maple Street from Anne Klimcvzyk, an old friend of Betty's who also attended her church, Christ Our King. However, they lived their less than a year when the birth of a fourth child pushed them to look for a large house.

It was around 1960, that George and Betty finally made the decision to buy their first house. It was a newly constructed house at 2475 Cranwood Drive, which at the time, was and up-and-coming neighborhood. In fact, it was the house where the family of eight referred to as home.

== Residences ==
During the George's years in Warren, Trumbull County, Ohio, he lived with family in, rented or owned a total of four houses on the southwest side of the city.

* Lived at 624 Fairfield Street in Warren, Trumbull County, Ohio.
* Lived at 169 Porter Street NE in Warren, Trumbull County, Ohio.
* Lived at 811 E. Market Street in Warren, Trumbull County, Ohio.

== Working Years ==
Worked as a welder and fork lift driver at Taylor Winfield for ten years. In the early 1940s he worked at American Welding.

Earlier in his career he was a lift driver at the Lordstown Ordinance Depot.

In his later years, George worked part-time for a repossession company. (His oldest daughter remembers that he carried a gun when he went out on a job.)

== Personal Life ==
He loved bowling and skating. He also rode a motorcycle in his early twenties. Once when his siblings were told to find him and send him home, he raced them to see who would make home first. Of course, he took a shortcut across a local field.

He was a member of Disabled American Veterans (DAV) Chapter 11, Slovak Bowling League and First Catholic Slovak Men’s Union 746

== Description ==
Sheryl was of average build and height. She had brown hair and brown eyes. She wore eyeglasses in her later years.

== Early Years ==

* '''Childhood -''' Paulette when by the nickname "Shay Shay."
** On April 1, 1955, while the young family of Albert and Pauline (Petiya) Timko were living in their home on Fourth Street, they were confronted with a life-changing experience. One of their young children was going to be horribly injured. That evening started with a young Pauline in the kitchen making the evening dinner while her husband Al was stretched out on the couch. Pauline had to leave the kitchen for a moment and she left the food cooking. It just happened that their oldest daughter Sheryl was a toddler at the time and was learning to walk by holding on to the furniture. She somehow found her way into the kitchen and began walking along the kitchen wall. When she reached the counter, she became entangled with the cord of the hot deep fryer. As she started to move away, she pulled the deep fryer on herself. The hot oil poured out onto her lower body and suddenly the quiet evening was filled with the screams of a badly burned child. What happened next was a bit of a blur. Albert and Pauline rushed to help their daughter. A neighbor Wanda who was a nurse living upstairs came down to their aid. Sheryl spent the next six weeks in St. Joseph’s Hospital while the staff used the newly-developed technique of using detergents to keep the damaged area clean. Sheryl survived the burns to her legs and in time she might have even forgotten about the whole experience if not for the scars that would remain with her for the rest of her life. However, if you were to meet her on the street today, you would be greeted by a woman with a broad smile and a twinkle in her eye. Sometimes time does heal all wounds.<ref>Moj Rodina newsletter [9-1-2014, Page 1, Timko/Berish Family Newsletter]</ref>

''Page edited 31-March-2026. ET''[[File:Albert James Timko Sr (Taken 1965).jpg|thumb|250x250px|Albert James Timko Sr (1965)]]
Albert James Timko was born on March 3, 1928 in Dixonville, Indiana County, Pennsylvania. He was the youngest son '''[[Joseph John Timko Sr.|Joseph John Timko]]''' and [[Anna Veronica Berish|'''Anna Veronica Beris'''h]] and the last of their children to be born in Pennsylvania.

== Description ==
Albert had a slender build and stood about 5 foot 8 inch in height. He was clean shaven with dark brown, wavy hair and blue eyes. In his later years he wore corrective eyeglasses.

== Early Years ==
[[File:A Young Edward and Albert Timko.jpg|thumb|325x325px|A Young Edward and Albert Timko]]'''Childhood''' - While Albert was born in Dixonville, Indiana County Pennsylvania, he only lived there for a few months as the Joseph John Timko Sr family moved to Warren, Trumbull County, Ohio in 1928. This gave Albert the unique distinction of being the last of the Joseph Timko Jr. children to be born in Pennsylvania.

Albert’s family often balanced themselves on that fine line between comfort and poverty. While the children never went hungry, they were not awash in the niceties of life. The children did not have many toys but were never at a loss for other sources of entertainment. Albert often told the story of how he, his brother Edward, and possibly his brother Stephen, decided to build a boat. It is presumed they wanted to take it on the Mahoning River to fish or possibly just for the bragging-rights that they had actually constructed a boat. They spent days gathering the materials, nails and wood, and then began to assemble their crude nautical craft. When it become evident the craft would leak, to seal the numerous cracks and seams, they gathered tar from the surrounding streets, melted it and filled the numerous voids. Presumably, they took the craft for its maiden voyage. Unfortunately, boatbuilding was not one of their innate skills and the craft never stayed afloat, at least for its intended purpose.

In later years, Albert shared a bed with his older brother Edward. It seems Albert was not known to be an early riser. On one occasion Edward, who had worked late the previous evening, was trying to sleep and Albert was being called from downstairs to wake up. Not wanting to leave his warm bed, Albert was doing his best to ignore the unwanted summons. Finally, Edward frustrated by the continual interruptions of his sleep took matters into his own hands, so to speak. He placed his foot behind Albert's back and shoved him out of the bed and onto the floor with a resounding thump. it was only when the family members downstairs heard the loud thump from overhead did they know that Albert was finally up.

*'''[[Edward John Timko]]'''
* '''[[Emma Marie Timko]]'''
* Dorothy Alice Timko

== Education ==
In Warren, Trumbull County, Ohio, Albert first attended First Street Elementary School at the corner of Highland Avenue and First Street. As the family moved to other locations in the area, he then attended Todd Avenue Elementary School that was located behind the famous Hot Dog Shoppe at Todd and Buckeye Streets. When it came time to attend junior high school, he attended West Junior High School on Palmyra Road.

He was promoted to West Junior High School in Warren, Trumbull County, Ohio on January 26, 1940.

During the waning years of World War II, Albert quit high school to enlist in the U.S. Marine Corps in 1945. Being under age, he needed a parent's signed permission which he received. Albert served four years in the service. When he was discharged he completed his high school education. He graduated from Warren G. Harding High School in Warren, Trumbull County, Ohio on January 27, 1949.

== Religion ==
Albert was baptized into the Catholic faith on 18 March 1928 at Sacred Heart Church in Dixonville, Indiana County, Pennsylvania.

He received his First Holy Communion on 9 May 1937 at Sts. Cyril and Methodius Catholic Church in Warren, Trumbull County, Ohio.

In his early years he was a member of Sts. Cyril and Methodius Catholic Church in Warren, Trumbull County, Ohio.

In his later years, he became a member of St. Williams Catholic Church in Champion, Trumbull County, Ohio and an active member of the Knights of Columbus (Council #7491).

He was a godfather to his nephews Edward John Timko Jr. and Kenneth Joseph Timko.[[File:Albert James Timko Sr in uniform.jpg|thumb|275x275px|Albert James Timko Sr in uniform]]

== Military Service Years ==
S/Sgt Albert James Timko, Sr served in the '''[[U.S. Marine Corps]]''' during World War II. He began serving on 22 Aug 1945 (Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio) and was discharged on 21 Aug 1949 (USMCAS, Cherry Point, North Carolina). He served as a Cosair aircraft mechanic while stationed in China. He reenlisted in the '''[[U.S. Army Reserves]]''' as a sergeant and served in Graves Registration. He was awarded the WWII Victory Medal, China Service Medal, Marine Corps Good Conduct Medal, American Theatre Campaign Medal and the Asiatic-Pacific Medal.<ref>United States Marine Corps Honorable Discharge Certificatge, Albert James Timko</ref>

Albert enlisted in the Corps during the waning years of World War II. When asked why he wanted to join, he replied that he didn’t want to “miss the war.” In fact, at the time of his enlistment, Al was too young to enlist without his mother’s permission. It would have to be one of the hardest duties a mother would be asked to perform. However, Baba signed the documents allowing her son to become a Marine.

During his time in the Corps, he served at a variety of duty stations in support of the push towards the end of the war in the Japanese Theatre of Operations. On board a ship bound for China, with hundreds of other Marines who were far away from home for the first time, Albert was shocked to learn one of his long-time friends, Gene Sanders, from his old neighborhood, was also aboard ship. For someone who was thousands of miles from home, that meeting proved to make for a more enjoyable trip.

Albert served with the Marines as a Corsair aircraft mechanic while stationed in China, earning him the distinction of being a “China Marine.” The term China Marine originally referred to those United States Marines from the 4th Marine Regiment who were stationed in Shanghai, China from 1927 - 1941. They served to protect American citizens and their property in the Shanghai International Settlement during the Chinese Revolution and the Second Sino-Japanese War. Later, another group of Marines, also referred as China Marines, were those of the 1st and 6th Marine Divisions sent to occupy northern China after the surrender of Japan at the end of World War II, from 1945 – 1948.

Albert’s time in China was cut short due to the rise to power of Mao Tse Tung and his followers who directed that the Marines leave their land. He also served on the USS Midway and served tours in California and Cherry Point, NC, the largest U.S. Marine airbase in the world at that time.

He later served with the American Graves Registration Division at Columbus, Ohio until he was discharged as a Master Sergeant E6. Albert was always proud of his rapid advancement to Master Sergeant. After his discharge from the Marine Corps, he returned to work as a forklift mechanic at the Lordstown Ordnance Depot in Warren, Ohio for a couple of years.

One only has to look at her early photographs to see examples of that ever present smile. It’s no wonder that my Uncle Albert was drawn to her. She was a frequent visitor to the Timko home as she was best friends with Albert’s sister Elizabeth.

Edward Timko Jr.: /* Family Years */

''Page edited 29-July-2025. ET''[[File:Albert James Timko Sr (Taken 1965).jpg|thumb|250x250px|Albert James Timko Sr (1965)]]
Albert James Timko was born on March 3, 1928 in Dixonville, Indiana County, Pennsylvania. He was the youngest son '''[[Joseph John Timko Sr.|Joseph John Timko]]''' and [[Anna Veronica Berish|'''Anna Veronica Beris'''h]] and the last of their children to be born in Pennsylvania.

== Description ==
Albert had a slender build and stood about 5 foot 8 inch in height. He was clean shaven with dark brown, wavy hair and blue eyes. In his later years he wore eye glasses.

== Early Years ==
[[File:A Young Edward and Albert Timko.jpg|thumb|325x325px|A Young Edward and Albert Timko]]'''Childhood''' - While Albert was born in Dixonville, Indiana County Pennsylvania, he only lived there for a few months as the Joseph John Timko Sr family moved to Warren, Trumbull County, Ohio in 1928. This gave Albert the unique distinction of being the last of the Joseph Timko Jr. children to be born in Pennsylvania.

Albert’s family often balanced themselves on that fine line between comfort and poverty. While the children never went hungry, they were not awash in the niceties of life. The children did not have many toys but were never at a loss for other sources of entertainment. Albert often told the story of how he, his brother Edward, and possibly his brother Stephen, decided to build a boat. It is presumed they wanted to take it on the Mahoning River to fish or possibly just for the bragging-rights that they had actually constructed a boat. They spent days gathering the materials, nails and wood, and then began to assemble their crude nautical craft. When it become evident the craft would leak, to seal the numerous cracks and seams, they gathered tar from the surrounding streets, melted it and filled the numerous voids. Presumably, they took the craft for its maiden voyage. Unfortunately, boatbuilding was not one of their innate skills and the craft never stayed afloat, at least for its intended purpose.

In later years, Albert shared a bed with his older brother Edward. It seems Albert was not known to be an early riser. On one occasion Edward, who had worked late the previous evening, was trying to sleep and Albert was being called from downstairs to wake up. Not wanting to leave his warm bed, Albert was doing his best to ignore the unwanted summons. Finally, Edward frustrated by the continual interruptions of his sleep took matters into his own hands, so to speak. He placed his foot behind Albert's back and shoved him out of the bed and onto the floor with a resounding thump. it was only when the family members downstairs heard the loud thump from overhead did they know that Albert was finally up.

== Education ==
In Warren, Trumbull County, Ohio, Albert first attended First Street Elementary School at the corner of Highland Avenue and First Street. As the family moved to other locations in the area, he then attended Todd Avenue Elementary School that was located behind the famous Hot Dog Shoppe at Todd and Buckeye Streets. When it came time to attend junior high school, he attended West Junior High School on Palmyra Road.

He was promoted to West Junior High School in Warren, Trumbull County, Ohio on January 26, 1940.

During the waning years of World War II, Albert quit high school to enlist in the U.S. Marine Corps in 1945. Being under age, he needed a parent's signed permission which he received. Albert served four years in the service. When he was discharged he completed his high school education. He graduated from Warren G. Harding High School in Warren, Trumbull County, Ohio on January 27, 1949.

== Religion ==
Albert was baptized into the Catholic faith on 18 March 1928 at Sacred Heart Church in Dixonville, Indiana County, Pennsylvania.

He received his First Holy Communion on 9 May 1937 at Sts. Cyril and Methodius Catholic Church in Warren, Trumbull County, Pennsylvania.

In his later years, he became a member of St. Williams Catholic Church in Champion, Trumbull County, Ohio and an active member of the Knights of Columbus (Council #7491).

He was a godfather to his nephews Edward John Timko Jr. and Kenneth Joseph Timko.[[File:Albert James Timko Sr in uniform.jpg|thumb|275x275px|Albert James Timko Sr in uniform]]

== Military Service Years ==
S/Sgt Albert James Timko, Sr served in the '''[[U.S. Marine Corps]]''' during World War II. He began serving on 22 Aug 1945 (Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio) and was discharged on 21 Aug 1949 (USMCAS, Cherry Point, North Carolina). He served as a Cosair aircraft mechanic while stationed in China. He reenlisted in the '''[[U.S. Army Reserves]]''' as a sergeant and served in Graves Registration. He was awarded the WWII Victory Medal, China Service Medal, Marine Corps Good Conduct Medal, American Theatre Campaign Medal and the Asiatic-Pacific Medal.<ref>United States Marine Corps Honorable Discharge Certificatge, Albert James Timko</ref>

Albert enlisted in the Corps during the waning years of World War II. When asked why he wanted to join, he replied that he didn’t want to “miss the war.” In fact, at the time of his enlistment, Al was too young to enlist without his mother’s permission. It would have to be one of the hardest duties a mother would be asked to perform. However, Baba signed the documents allowing her son to become a Marine.

During his time in the Corps, he served at a variety of duty stations in support of the push towards the end of the war in the Japanese Theatre of Operations. On board a ship bound for China, with hundreds of other Marines who were far away from home for the first time, Albert was shocked to learn one of his long-time friends, Gene Sanders, from his old neighborhood, was also aboard ship. For someone who was thousands of miles from home, that meeting proved to make for a more enjoyable trip.

Albert served with the Marines as a Corsair aircraft mechanic while stationed in China, earning him the distinction of being a “China Marine.” The term China Marine originally referred to those United States Marines from the 4th Marine Regiment who were stationed in Shanghai, China from 1927 - 1941. They served to protect American citizens and their property in the Shanghai International Settlement during the Chinese Revolution and the Second Sino-Japanese War. Later, another group of Marines, also referred as China Marines, were those of the 1st and 6th Marine Divisions sent to occupy northern China after the surrender of Japan at the end of World War II, from 1945 – 1948.

Albert’s time in China was cut short due to the rise to power of Mao Tse Tung and his followers who directed that the Marines leave their land. He also served on the USS Midway and served tours in California and Cherry Point, NC, the largest U.S. Marine airbase in the world at that time.

He later served with the American Graves Registration Division at Columbus, Ohio until he was discharged as a Master Sergeant E6. Albert was always proud of his rapid advancement to Master Sergeant. After his discharge from the Marine Corps, he returned to work as a forklift mechanic at the Lordstown Ordnance Depot in Warren, Ohio for a couple of years.

After my Aunt Betty married George Yeager Campell, the young couple lived for a time in an attic apartment atop an old warehouse used by Allied/Burbank Van and Storage Company at 811 East Market Street (Apt. #1) in Warren, Trumbull County, Ohio. While some might view the living arrangemet as unique, they happened to live above two of George’s sisters, Clara and Ruth. Also, having no garage, it was not uncommon to find George working on his car in the alley behind the building. Betty and George lived in that attic apartment for a number of years during the time when they began to increase in number. It was in that apartment that both my cousins James Joseph and Sara Anne Campbell lived their first few years. In fact it was the birth of Sara that pushed the couple to look for larger accommodations.

There next residence was with Betty's mother '''[[Anna Veronica Berish]]''' Timko who was by then living alone at 1640 Oak Street SW in Warren, Trumbull County, Ohio after the death of her husband Joseph John Timko. Once again the couple found them living in an attic in the small house. They lived there until the birth of their third child George Michael when they were force to move into a rental house for a period of time. It was 1959, when they rented a half duplex on Maple Street from Anne Klimcvzyk, an old friend of Betty's who also attended her church, Christ Our King. However, they lived their less than a year when the birth of a fourth child pushed them to look for a large house.

It was around 1960, that George and Betty finally made the decision to buy their first house. It was a newly constructed house at 2475 Cranwood Drive, which at the time, was and up-and-coming neighborhood. In fact, it was the house where the family of eight referred to as home.
