I just learned of Tim's passing and was very sad to hear this news.
I went to elementary school with him at St. Mary's. He was always pleasant and very kind. Rest in peace, Tim.

Aunt Jo, I am so sorry to hear of Uncle Tim's passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the rest of the family.
Uncle Tim, the year before my divorce, was a wealth of wisdom and caring, reminding me that life is short, and wished me happiness. He also urged me to read the bible, much of which my wife has read with me, and we continue to read. We are both Christians and are joyful that Tim is in heaven dancing with the angels.
We wish we could be there for the services, but of course, cannot. Love to you and yours,
Jim & Kari

So sorry to hear of Tim's passing. I went to St. Mary's School and Southside High School with Tim. He was a great guy! Over the years, I would run into him at Wellsburg Diner.
