well i really don't know where to begin, i have know tim since i started walgeen's in 1980, i have so many stories and good times that we had together. we were know to have a few beer's and a lot of laughs together along with a lot of the other guys from work. Tim was such a great guy to have a good time with. we could talk for hours about out families and friends.he sure loved bev and his kids, would always talk about them. he loved coaching his son tim's team, and we would always bet on the horses whose name had allie in it. we actually won on her name quite a bit.Well i could go on and on about what a great friend i had in tim but i'm starting to tear up.God took him from all of us to soon, but he must have needed another good angel by his side.Bev allie and tim you have lost a good husband and father, but always remember all those great times you had together,and will never be forgotten. Miss you my Friend, and will always have you in my thoughts, your friend Dandy Don

My sincere condolences to the entire family. I have memories of Tim when he was a teenager at so many of Maureen and Jim's family parties.
May you all be blessed with the knowledge that he is loving you from the spirit - that never dies.

I will miss the unconditional love that my uncle always gave. One of those few people that don't need to say a word just a look from him and you felt it in your heart. Tim and Bev b-sat me and my brother and sister for pretty much all of our childhood. I am so fortunate for all the good times.
When my brother objected to taking a bath and said he didn't need one, Tim took a raw egg and smashed it on his head and said "now you do". He was a patient ,fun loving man. Thank you uncle Timmy and Aunt Bev for all you love and attention. Love Kelly

Tears came to my eyes each time I looked at all the pictures I took of Tim at his and Bev's 30th Anniversary Party. What I saw thru my viewer was not just someone we all loved beyond all words that could ever be expresed, but what I also saw was courage. Tim taught me courage to go on even though he knew and we all knew our time together was soon to end. Tim never said no when I asked him for another and then another picture. A joke was sure to come my way each time I snapped the picture. He knew how much these pictures and the memories we were making would mean to his family now. We are all grieving now and for a long time to come but knowing our Tim is out of pain gives us all comfort.
We Love you Bev, Allie and Tim.

I can still vividly recall walking home from high school with Bev and Tim; bowling leagues in both summer and winter; and the New Year's Eve dinner that ended in a Chicago blizzard! All memories made sweeter by sharing them with Bev and Tim. Since moving out-of-state 20 years ago, I have not had many opportunities to forge new memories, but will always cherish the ones I have. He was a wonderful man, father, and friend.

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal.
Love leaves a memory no one can steal.

I worked with Tim for many years, as well. He always had a nod, smile, and hello, and was just an all around good guy. I'm SO very sorry for your loss ...

Tim was more than a brother-in-law to us. He was our friend. We loved him more than any words can say. We will miss him always.
Bev, Allie & Tim were his whole life. He would do anything for them.
Knowing him has enriched out lives.
