Hey Uncle Tim!

I'll assume that your I Phone or I pad will get this message. Maybe they call it an H Phone or H Pad, now that you have passed, but none the less;

Thanks for all the positive memories that We have of you and Aunt Millie!!

Luckily for us, you two gave us two Sons/Cousins that will continue to contribute to future memories. They're skewed a little different, but with a couple of years of therapy, they should be alright. lol

One other thing, Uncle Tim. Thank you for your service to our Country, 28 months in the European Theater at Utah Beach, Etc.. That was unreal. You're an American Hero, unsung.., by your own beliefs.

Thanks for the Memories!

I can't describe Uncle Tim in words that eloquent enough to match the eloquence and kindness of the man.While I know he will be missed and he will miss those he loved,he will be together again with his greatest love, Aunt Millie.
I never met anyone who when you mentioned his name brought smiles to the room.
I will miss our phone calls and fond recollection of the old days; laughter as well as tears.
I love you Uncle Tim.
Love,
Denny

Tim, Kevin and family - Just wanted to say THANKS for sharing your Dad with all of us. He always treated me as a niece when I came to visit with Debbie. He was such a loving man. I loved to listen to his stories about him and your Mom. Now they are singing and dancing together again. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Love,
