Tim was the personification of spirit triumphing over tragedy. I will always remember his smile through the years at St. Cajetan's. My condolences to his family.

I will miss Tim's never-ending smile! We were lucky to have him as an honorary Dunleavy and will miss him at all family gatherings. Mrs. O'Brien, our thoughts and prayers are with you!

My condolences to the whole family on the loss of Tim. I went to St. Cajetan and Marist with him, and I knew he had to deal with a lot through the years. My late dad, James Collins, saw Tim at Marist events often after I moved out of the parish. He will be greatly missed.
Sincerely, Joe Collins

Dolores,
I am so sorry to hear about Tim's death. He fought a long, difficult fight with courage. He taught me so much about courage and not getting down. I am a better person for his ministering to me. My prayers and heartfelt condolences to you.
