Dear Pris and family,
We are saddened to hear of Tim's passing. How well I remember times together in our college years and at my wedding to George Henning Vipond, Tim as an usher. Have missed you all these years and to think you are right here in Arizona and we're in Sun City West since year 2000. Two of my sons are also in the Phoenix area, John Vipond in Scottsdale and Clark Vipond in Chandler. So close yet so far. Hopefully we can get together in the future. thinking of you at this sad time. Ada Vipond Sullivan and Dwight Sullivan

My deepest sympathy to Priscilla and Tim's entire family. I first met Tim in 1977 when I was put in charge of the banking relationship of the Hansen Dordell law firm account. I worked for American National Bank at that time. Tim was a wonderful person to work with and we became friends. We used to play golf matches against the "Bradt Brothers" each summer. Tim always had a smile and a joke to tell and he was loyal to me over the years as I moved to different banks. I miss him and I hope some day to see him again in heaven where I know God has reserved a special place for him.
