Members of Bells of the Cascades are deeply saddened by the passing of former member and former President of the group, Tim McDonough.

Tim met his wife Karin on Bells of the Cascades Cruise V and shortly thereafter moved to Oregon and joined the ensemble. He was an incredibly talented ringer (and singer) and a truly kind man.

Tim died Dec. 8, 2020, at the age of 53. Here are a few photos of Tim with the group, as well as one after he left Bells of the Cascades but joined Bridgetown Sound, and helped facilitate a collaboration between the two groups. Bridgetown Sound has recently launched the Tim McDonough Memorial Music Education Fund.

Our condolences to his wife Karin. RIP Tim.
