Timothy Kaufmann Obituary

Carol,

Please accept my deepest sympathy for your loss. I wish we could have met under different circumstances but I thank God for your presence in my life this past year. You have not only been Tim's angel but mine as well.

Peace & Love,

DEAR KAUFMANN FAMILY,
IT BROKE MY HEART TO HEAR OF TIM'S PASSING. UNFORTUNATELY I FOUND OUT AFTERWARD AND WAS NOT ABLE TO MAKE THE WAKE AND FUNERAL. I KNEW TIM IN THE LATE 70'S EARLY 80'S. HE WAS SO FUNNY AND NICE. I WAS TAUGHT BY HIS AUNTS, SISTER'S ARMELA AND GERALDA AT ST RITA G.S. ONCE WE MET WE BECAME GOOD FRIENDS UNTIL OUR LIVES WENT SEPERATE WAYS. I'LL ALWAYS REMEMBER HOW GREAT A MAN HE WAS. IT WAS A HONOR TO KNOW HIM AND BE HIS FRIEND. MAY YOUR HEARTS HEAL AND WHEN WE SPEAK OF TIM MAY WE ALWAYS FIND OUR MEMORIES JOYFUL TO THE POINT WHERE WE AREN'T SO SADDENED AT HIS PASSING BUT GREATFUL FOR BEING PART OF HIS LIFE. REST IN PEACE TIM.
LOVE, MAUREEN HAYES

Dear Carol,
So sorry we were unable to be with you at this time of sorrow. By the time we heard the news it was too late to make the wake or funeral. Please know that we are with you in spirit and will keep you and the kids in our prayers. Please accept our deepest condolences. I will try to give you a call soon.

Love,

Your cousins - Michele, Janet and Linda Zack

One of the true good guys.

To The Kauffmann Family,
May God keep His loving and protective arms around you in your time of need. Praying for all of you.

Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you. Tim was a great guy and he will be missed.

I loved working with Tim. He always had a way of making my day enjoyable and fun. He made a great Elwood to Don Dziedzina Jake when they played the Blues Brothers at our South Area Christmas Party. He was a great guy and he'll be missed.

Celebrating a life well lived. We will cherish the memories forever.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. Tim was a wonderful Police Officer, Co-worker and Friend. Tim will be in our hearts forever.

Dear Kaufmann Family, Our deepest sympathy on the passing of Tim. Tim's kindness and generosity after the passing of my brother will never be forgotten. Captain James Sheahan and family

Kaufmann Family,
I like many others knew Tim and am very sorry to hear of his passing. My deepest sympathy. May God bless him and your family!

TIM WORKED WITH ME IN THE GANG CRIMES UNIT IN THE 90s. HE WAS A GREAT INVESTIGATOR AND A GOOD AND LOYAL FREIND WHO WOULD PUT THE NEEDS OF OTHERS BEFOR HIS OWN. I WILL MISS HIM ALWAYS. HE WAS TRULY ONE OF THE BEST

I worked with Tim on the county and had long talks on midnights with him in Stickey Twsp. He will be missed by everyone who knew and loved him.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort to the Kaufmann family.

Our deepest sorrows and thoughts are with Tim's entire family during this extremely difficult time. Tim will be remembered always as loving husband and father, but also as a friend to so many. He will be missed, but will never be forgotten.

Dear Kaufmann Family,
My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you during this difficult time. Tim was a great guy and he will be missed.

My husband and I are a friend of Karen's.
I also went to school with Mike.
I never knew Tim but from my niece Katie who worked with Tim just was amazed at how hard of a worker even during chemo treatment would go to work. She said he was a great guy.
Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.
Tim is in Gods arms now. God holds Tim close as they both watch over all of you.
May your great faith for God, family, friends and memories be what gets you through this difficult time.

To Carol and the rest of her family. May the comfort of the Lord be with you and your family at this time.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Kaufmann Family at this difficult time.

I will always remember Tim as a devoted husband and father to his loved ones.He gave openly and lovingly to his wife,kids and grandson in a cheerful upbeat fashion that demonstrated the true expression of love.Tim will be missed by many.

Our prayers are with the Kaufmann family during this difficult time. Working with Tim at the Cook County Dept of Corrections IAD, I found that Tim was a stand-up guy, who always put our families first whenever we needed help. Tim, you're home now and we'll see you when it's our turn!

Please accept our deepest sympathies. Tim was a wonderful human being, husband, father and friend to many. We will miss him.

Our prayers are with the Kaufmann family during this difficult time.

Beside being a older cousin (pretend) Tim was a co-worker (cable tv back in 1982), class mate (Brother Rice), teammate (both of us were goalies on the soccer team), he was a friend.
Seperated by a few states and miles, I can still see the smile.
My thoughts and prayers went out to all when I heard of his illness and remain with you during this time of great sadness for each of you in his family.

Dear Family of Tim Kaufmann,

My deepest sympathy on your loss.

We will always be there for you if you need anything. Tim has touched many lives, especially ours and we will always be grateful for his time with us. Tim will be forever missed, but never forgotten and always close to our hearts. All our love and prayers to the entire Kaufmann family.

My deepest condolences to the Kaufmann Family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. May the good Lord look over you and help you through this difficult time. A candle was lit in my church in memory of Tim, and a prayer will be said on his behalf and his family at this Sunday's mass. God bless you all.

Carol & Family,
I am so sorry to hear of Tim's passing. He was a great friend. I would have been lost without him working at the jail.

Tim was like a brother to our family and he will always be remembered in our hearts. His sense of humor was contagious and his kindness towards others inspirational. We will miss you, Tim.

Love, Donna & Tm
