Tim Wynn, Western's director of Facilities from 2001-2011, passed away on Dec. 13 at the age of 72. In his years at Western, Wynn oversaw a period of unprecedented construction growth on campus, all with a near-legendary wit and the kind of easygoing personality that won him friends across campus.
WWU Vice President of Business and Financial Affairs Rich Van Den Hul remembered Wynn and his impact on Western fondly.
