Former New Berlin Mayor Tully Trail Dedication Planned For June

NEW BERLIN, WI— The City of New Berlin will hold a dedication ceremony at 10 a.m. on Saturday, June 5 at Malone Park located at 16400 W. Al Stigler Parkway. On January 26 the New Berlin Common Council unanimously approved renaming the Green Loop Trail, located in Malone Park, to the Mayor Timothy K. Tully Trail, according to a news release.

This is the largest trail in New Berlin’s flagship park. Mayor Tully,70, died on December 5, 2020 in Destin, Florida.

The City wishes to commemorate his outstanding contribution as the former Mayor of New Berlin, having served the community with honor and dedication for two full terms April 1985 – April 1993.

He was the youngest mayor to achieve this, and was known for his commitment to the community. Equally important, Tim and his wife Pat Tully taught their daughters that they could accomplish anything they set their mind to, and encouraged them to leave the world a better place.

“There was an outpouring from the community upon news of Mayor Tully’s passing. The mark he left behind on this community was certainly made evident. We wanted to memorialize his civic contributions, while expressing our gratitude for his presence in our lives….what better location than the serenity of our wonderful Malone Park. I’m sure Tim spent many happy hours at Malone Park, enjoying 4th of July celebrations with family and friends throughout the years” Mayor Dave Ament said in a release.

Tim's life was one of service. After moving to New Berlin with his wife, Pat, in 1974, he began working for the city of New Berlin in the Parks and Recreation Department. He played an instrumental role in developing the New Berlin Child Care Center, which received national recognition as the first non-profit center of its kind. Other notable projects include the City’s Master Plan as well as many employee programs and awards.

Following his public service, Tim established Personnel Dynamics, a leadership management development and training company, in 1994. During retirement, Tim served his community as the Destin Pointe Home Owners’ Association president and volunteered on his church's landscape committee.

Tim and Pat Tully are the proud parents of daughters Jaimy, Cassy, and Taylor. He was a lifelong athlete, enjoying tennis, basketball, and running marathons. He was an avid reader of presidential biographies, and a fan of space exploration. Those who knew and loved him cherish his memory and are continuing his mission

The Tully family, along with other friends and dignitaries, will be in attendance for the dedication. All are encouraged to attend. Please gather at the Malone Park Pavilion (Malone Park Shelter #1).

In addition, the New Berlin Veterans Memorial Society will be dedicating a brick in honor of Mayor Tully’s military service. After the trail dedication, guests will be invited to gather at the Veterans Memorial located at the corner of W. National Ave and Casper Drive in New Berlin for the installation of the Tim Tully brick.
