Dear Lesko family,
I was so sad to hear about the passing of Tim and my heart goes out to your family.I'm not sure if you remember me but I was your neighbor in Flemington South Estates before you moved to Sunridge and I went to school with Tim. I talked to Tim often on facebook and he never even told me he was sick, but instead would ask me how I was doing. God Bless Tim and his family.

To Tim's family,
So sorry to hear about this. I was best friends with a college girlfriend of Tim's. He was a constant fixture in our apartments. I am saddened to hear about your loss. I am so happy that he got to experience his dream of creating great, honest wines. He was a person who was not afraid to go after an idea, and I admire that.

Those we love don't go away, they walk beside us everyday. Unseen, unheard, but always near; still loved, still missed and very dear. I will miss you Tim. You were a great friend and would do anything for anyone.
