I went to school with Tim and his cousin Dale. Tim was a lot of fun and had a great sense of humor.
I was sorry to hear of his passing.
My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

To all that knew Tim:

I knew Tim because he was a sub-contractor for my father's appliance repair business. Our whole family got to know Tim well. Whenever he would come over, he always took the time to ask us how we were, and would always bring treats for our three dogs. That's just a glimpse as to the type of person he was. My condolences go out to all those that knew Tim.

It was my honor to recently meet Tim. Nancy and I work together;she always talked about "her" Tim. My prayers are with the entire family at this somber time. God has chosen a good man to help Him with His work in heaven. I find comfort in knowing that Tim is watching over us all especially Nancy.
