Nora and the rest of Tim's family,
I'm so sorry for your loss while here on earth. As one of his Harley and Men's Club friend's daughers I'm SO thankful for my dad and Tim's friendship! His smile and energetic spirit always came through. I loved and will continue to love hearing their crazy stories of pure adventure.

Happy Father's Day Dad! I love you and am so very proud of the man you were on Earth. I miss you more than you could ever imagine, but because you were such a wonderful father and FUN grandpa, I have precious memories to sustain me until my time comes and we are reunited. Then I will hold your big, strong hand in mine and feel safe again. Love, your daughter

I worked with Tim at the Record Searchlight. He was truly an amazing man....he always could lighten up a meeting or situation with his sense of humor. He was truly respected and admired and was just a great guy. He will be greatly missed.

Nora, Tim, Beth & Family,

There isn't enough space to describe the loss of Tim and the sadness at his passing. So many special memories from long ago. I have to say my high school years were so much more fun because I had Tim as a pal. My parents loved Tim and he always brought them a laugh or two. My thoughts are with you, his parents and brother & sisters.

I worked with Tim at the Record Searchlight and want to express how much he was loved and appreciated by all those he knew.
So many people will miss his humor and friendship. His devotion to his job was amazing ~ he loved the thought of getting up in the morning, going to work, and contributing something to the world. I couldn't quite get that, but I understand it now.
Tim always teased I was the Evil Twin (I have no sisters) and you could tell me apart from the Good Twin cause she was the one smiling.
So here's to you, Tim, and hoping you found your "hot dog cart" in the sky - save one for me with no onions.
Take Care

Dear Nora and Family,
Sincerest sympathies to you...Tim was a great guy. We only knew you all slightly through the Rocketts in Quincy, but shared many a happy moment under the pines. We are glad to have known Tim.
Sincerely,

Dear Nora and family,

Yesterday, I received an e-mail from Bill Rockett informing me of Tim's passing.

I immediately called Bill and we spent a long time talking on the phone about Tim and the Cass family.

Although, it has been many years since we have seen each other the memories I have of all of our times together will last an eternity.


Tim will be remembered as a special friend, as a loving husband, father and grandfather.

My prayers are with you and your family in this time of sorrow.

God bless you, Timoteo

I did not know Tim well, but he was a dear friend to my wonderful friends Bill and Mel. I met Tim several times at the Solar Cookoff, and he had the most full ,energetic laugh of anyone. He made me fall over laughing everytime. What a beautiful heart and soul he is. We are all blessed to have his laughter fill our lives.
