I was shocked to hear of Tim's passing. I hired Tim back in the 80's and he was a valuable asset to our company. Since that time I regarded Tim as a close friend so he will be sorely missed. Tim and his family will be in our thoughts and prayers.

I met Tim through St. Mary of the Lakes parish. I found him to be one of the kindest, humble and self effacing people I have ever met.
I was truly honored when he asked me to read at his first mass at St. Mary's following his ordination.
My prayers go out to his entire family. Rest in Peace, Tim.
