Not sure what to say?





This is late. I just saw the notice in the MU Alumni magazine. I have fond memories of Tim & Laura from our time at Marquette and never had the opportunity to thank them for their many kindnesses. My thoughts are with your family.

I had the pleasure of working with and getting to know Tim at TRANSMARKET. We worked closely together as he succeeded me doing the Cash Clearing job. We always worked hard, but there was plenty of good times. We stayed in touch through Fantasy Baseball for the last 10 years plus. After I had major foot surgery in the 90's,Tim drove me home from work every day. I was on crutches and he would goad me into moving faster and not feeling sorry for myself and I really needed that. Tim was always there for me and I will always treasure the time we spent together. Tim was a great co worker and a true friend. I will miss his great sense of humor

Sincere condolences to Sarah and to the rest of the Hamilton family. We were classmates of Laura and Tim and have such great memories of those days at Marquette. May your memories bring comfort and peace at this time.
