Our heartfelt prayers and condolences go out to all of Tim's family. We are sure these are very sad days.

Tim was a great co-worker and friend. He was our go to guy when there was a trivia question unanswered. We enjoyed re-living so many of the lines from TV shows and movies. One of our most favorite being, "It was the Dukes, It was the Dukes.

We has such good times going to various sporting events with Tim. Browns games, Indians games, the road trip to Cincinnati for the Indians games was so much fun. The NCAA Basketball tournament games were very special. Those weekends and the games we saw were so good. We did have fun picking on a lot of those fans too - right Dave!?! and that crew from Minerva!!

I sure enjoyed Tim's company so it was very difficult to see him struggling in the hospital being so ill. News of the accident was very sad and am thankful for the great memories of Tim.

Pray God's Blessings for you all.

With deepest sympathy,
Tom & Maria

God looked around his garden and saw an empty space. He then looked down upon the arth and saw a tired face. He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest. God's Garden must be beautiful, he only takes the best. He knew that you were suffering, he knew you were in pain, he knew you would never get well on erth again. He saw the road was getting rough and the hills were hard to climb, so He closed your weary eyelids and whispered, "Pease be thine". It broke our heart to lose you but you didn't go alone, for part of us went with you the day God called you home.

May your hearts be filled with wonderful memories of the joyful times you spent together as a family enjoying Tim's wonderful sense of humor and adventurous travel stories.

With Sincere Sympathy,
Sandra L. Miller, Co-Worker
