Dear Betty and Family -
I just heard of the passing of Tim and I am saddened by the loss of an extraordinary person. He touched so many lives - mine included. I remember often his strength, courage, support, guidance, and the many interactions that we had. We last connected in early 2006, and again I left with renewed appreciation of his strength and determination. May God Bless his spirit and bless you and the family. With Thoughts and Prayers, Matthew Glaudemans

My deepest sympathy to the Sheahan family. I will miss Tim so very much. I will always remember the crazy and fun time I spent with him playing hookey back in 1988 when were young and he was new to CSC.
I miss you, Tim...

Dear Betty and Family-
I remember working with Tim when he started at CSC over 20 years ago. Over the years since then I would run into Tim from time to time. What I remember most fondly about Tim is that success never changed him. He was always the same honest, straightforward, likable, good person.
Tim will be sorely missed by all who had the good fortune of knowing him.

Dear Betty and family.
I am so sorry for your (and our) loss. Tim was a great friend and mentor to me both professionally and personally. After all, we got married in St. Thomas based on his recommendation.
I will be forever greatful to have known him and I know that I am a better person for it. You are constantly in our thoughts and prayers.

My deepest sympathies to the Sheahan family. It is very sad news. I started working with Tim back in his San Diego days and learned at his CSC retirement party that he and I joined CSC on almost the same day, about 19 years ago. tjs was a great mentor and will be greatly missed.

There is a big hole in the fabric of many lives now. To all family and friends who share that feeling of emptiness, I send you caring thoughts, deepest sympathies, and energies of support and comfort. May our memories sustain us and ensure that Tim lives on forever in our hearts.
Some of my memories from knowing Tim personally and professionally for about 20 years:
Many, many years ago when we were working together in Hanover, Tim asked me to be part of a “red team” for a proposal. I had never done that before and knew nothing about the task, so expressed doubt. But he was so encouraging, so supportive, and so confident in me that I grew to have confidence in myself. He would often guide me indirectly by giving me tasks that I thought were too big for me. But HE didn’t. And he never doubted my worth or capability. He had the rare ability to draw out the best in people, make them stretch, help them grow.
On a personal level, Tim was so helpful to me at many different times in my life, even after moving away from Maryland. One example: Even though he was fighting his own battle with cancer in San Diego, he found a way to use his medical research knowledge to support me in my battle with MS. He shared news articles, sent me web links, gave me hints about dealing with doctors and self injections. Some days, out of the blue, I would get an e-mail from him with some medical information he found. It helped me feel less frightened of what I was experiencing. He was a role model for being strong in the face of a disabling disease.
He will be missed.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. We first worked for Tim in San Diego and were inspired by his leadership and his dedication to the Wellness Community. His creativity and energy brought us to DC to work with him again. We will really miss him.

Dear Betty
Even though we all knew it would happen one day, we still feel the loss of a very wonderful human being, and will miss him more than we can express. We are so sorry that he is gone, and will always have a special place for him in our memories. And if there is ever anything we can do to help you, please do not hesitate to ask.
Love

To the Sheahan family: I had the privilege of serving with Tim at three different duty stations in the Army. His sense of humor, his leadership, his mentorship was pivotal to many young soldier's careers, mine included. My fondest memories are of our times together at Shin Saeng Orphanage in Korea. America has lost one of Her finest "sons" but we all celebrate the life of Tim and all that he meant to so many of us! Our deepest sympathy in this time of loss!

We all lost a good man today. Tim was my VP while working in CSC San Diego. He was so full of fun and life. I remember him to be fair and caring with everyone he came in contact with.
We played lots of golf together while he was in San Diego. I remember Tim sending an email after his first hole-in-one. He was so proud.!!
I thought all was well. I thought he had "beaten" this disease. I'm sad to hear he lost the battle.
Our prayers will be with you always.
