Private Memorial for Tim

Oak will be closed from 5:00 pm to 8:30 pm this Saturday, the 24th, for a private remembrance of our dear Tim Purtill. He is one of Oak’s three owners, and after a battle with cancer, he passed away in December.

Tim owned Oak with his wife, Kelly, and their friend, Jeff.

If you have ever enjoyed a moment at Oak, please understand that it would not be possible without Tim. Tim literally built the space that we all call our neighborhood home-away-from-home. The floor, walls, table design, décor, and general “Oak vibe” — that is Tim. If he didn’t personally build it, he taught the rest of us how to do it.

Though usually behind the scenes at Oak, his loving nature was felt every day.

Tim’s impact on the world around him greatly exceeds his accomplishments with Oak, and Oak will be just one lasting metaphor of a life lived with artistry, honesty, nobility, and love.

Tim, you will forever be missed and will always be in our hearts, and within the walls of Oak.
