Not sure what to say?

I knew Tim in the Axtell years. I think of him in a rugby shirt and overalls cutting up and making people laugh (like his dad). And I remember the black sharpie cartoons he would draw on the cardboard doors in their home during their house remodel. Tim was artistic, athletic and spirited and clearly had gifts to share. I´m happy to see he touched so many during his much-to-short life. While our paths didn´t cross after the Axtell days, I remain friends with his sister, Karla, and pray that...

First met Tim when he pastored in Haysville and then my wife was the organist at Trinity for several years

Oh my goodness! I´m so sad to hear of Tim´s passing. I saw him last in Lindsborg a couple of years ago after the Messiah performance. My condolences to his family, and my prayers are with you.

Tim was always fun to be around when we were growing up. He was a second cousin.

I enjoyed seeing him, Martha, and the family at the New Year´s Eve worship service at First Lutheran in Fort Smith with the entire Barr family. He took the week after Christmas off. The Barr family hymn was "Our God our help in ages past." That was certainly faith.
