I grew up with Tim and his brother Chris. Great neighborhood full of kids. Saw him a few times when I would return home for a visit. What a surprise. I am so very sorry and will keep Chris and his mother in my prayers. I know Tim is in a better place and someday we will all meet again and the neighborhood kids will play on.

Tim and I shared a home room and were side by side at graduation. He was a real character then I am sorry that we never knew each other as adults. My sympathy to your family. He is gone too soon. May we meet someday in paradise.

I am truly sorry to hear of Tim's passing. Although I have not seen him in many years, his memory will be with me forever. Tim and I became fiends at the Sock Hops at Coquillard in 7th grade. I looked forward to those dances back then and even though I went to St. John's, we stayed friends all the way through high school. I saw him several times when visiting home. His death is a reminder that we are getting older..............until we dance again Tim!

Joan and Chris. The Kramer family is a significant part of my growing up. Tim and I were friends since middle school. There are many warm memories of plays and school activities that Tim will always be a part of. I hope he has found his peace. My prayers to you both and he leaves a hole in the family.
God Bless all of you.

So sad to learn of Tim's passing. Even though I didn't see Tim but maybe once or twice a year, we always made it a point to speak when we would see one another. He would always ask about my family, my children. He also would say, "your children are my children." Tim seemed to think he sang at my wedding, but I think I would have remembered that. It became a running joke. Tim was an excellent euchre partner. I looked forward to playing with him, whether he was my partner or not. He also saved a Christmas card I sent him back in the 1980's (Ziggy). He liked to tell me he still had that card. When the plane crashed on Iowa St., I was concerned it could have been the Kramer family home. I had to run out there to see. Thankful no one was hurt. Anyway, I dropped Tim off at home a couple of times, and I'd like to think I took care of him like he took care of all of us. A quiet friend. I will miss our brief visits. See you in heaven Tim! We'll share a beer! Love you friend.

Mrs Kramer and Chris.
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Tim.
He was a great guy to be around if you needed a good laugh.
I can remember talking over the fence with a cold Budweiser on what we planted in our gardens when I lived on Ryer St.
He will be truly missed!
God Bless.
