I first met Tim at Sears World Trade in Chicago in the early 1980's and worked for him at First Chicago Bank for many years. I can clearly recall being invited to dine in his home in Naperville and meeting his 1st wife and daughters. Throughout our friendship, I don't think a conversation ever began without him talking at least a few minutes to talk about his daughters followed by the good old days at First Chicago. I'm truly sorry for the family's loss. He's in my thoughts a lot these days. I miss him. Richard Newman, DeKalb, Illinois.

Though 10 years younger than Tim, I remember him from my years growing up at High Street Nazarene. A really nice guy from a good family. He will be missed.
