Timothy Leo Mischel
Dec 8, 2022
Timothy Leo Mischel died on Dec. 8, 2022, in Vancouver, Wash. He was 81 years old. Born in Dickinson, North Dakota, to Frank A. and Goldie (Booke) Mischel, he was reared in Dickinson and served in the U.S. Marine Corps.
Tim lived in Madison, Wis., and Denver, Colo., for a number of years working as a telephone installer and operating a tree service company. But Alaska called and it captured his heart.
Tim worked on the trans-Alaska oil pipeline, assisted in the cleanup of the Valdez oil spill and was a commercial salmon fisherman in Bristol Bay. In 1977, Tim purchased property identified as "The Angle Station" located above the towns of Kennicott and McCarthy, Alaska, and below the abandoned Kennicott Copper Mine. This historic location became his home for the next four decades.
Tim became a fixture in McCarthy, and through the years from his perch at the Angle Station, he was "the man on the mountain."
When a film crew visited McCarthy for the TV series "Edge of Alaska," which aired from 2014 to 2017, Tim became a regular in the series and never failed to entertain with stories about living in the wild. Tim met Kathy Drury in McCarthy in 1977, and she joined him there in 2005, as his loving companion, residing together for the next 17 years.
Tim was preceded in death by his parents; and one older sister, Sharon (Francis) Wald of Dickinson. He is survived by his companion, Kathy Drury of Vancouver; two sisters, Marilyn (Charles) Elmquist of Broomfield, Colo., and Geri (Larry) Uribe of Haymarket, Va.; one brother, Terrence (Bradley) Mischel of Denver; and 18 nieces and nephews.
