Not sure what to say?

I know I'm late by about 9 years, but Ken was a big influence in my life. Not only was he my basketball coach for JV my sophomore year, but also my varsity coach my senior year in 1970. He was always encouraging me and spent time analyzing my game and giving me tips when I was about ten years old. He was also the sponsor for the AFS club throughout my high school days. This was an organization which brought foreign exchange students to Bentley which was a very important organization to...

I am so sorry to hear of Coach Timmons passing. He was my golf coach at Churchill from 1988-1991. I can remember him driving me to tournaments in the Summer and to practice when I was a freshman (with about four or five other kids pretty much all the time) in his Dodge minivan. He was a kind and passionate man. He loved golf and he showed so much care for us kids. He wanted us to develop as players but more so as members of society. Just a great human being. I hope to see you on the...

Mr.Timmons was my Government teacher at Bentley 1969-1970 I thought he was a kind and generous man and he was so good to us kid. My deepest sympathy to his friends and family. The world was a better place while he was in it.

My condolences to the Timmons family.
I played basketball and baseball with Ken at U OF D FROM '50 TO '54 and have many great memories of him as a young student-athlete.
I lost track of Ken as we went in different directions, but am not surprised to read the many kind words attesting to his success and character as a teacher. He was always fun to be around and very hard working. If a memorial service is arranged , I would like to be notified.

I had the privilege of serving on the Livonia Board of Education with Ken, and his love of kids and the school district came through in everything he did. He was a friend to many, and will be missed.

I remember Mr Timmons as Amy's dad mostly! He adored her and was always nice to us. My prayers are with your family at this time.

I will miss my older brother Ken and cherish all the fond memories we had of growing up in Midland and attending Midland senior High school. He led an exemplorary life and raised a fine family. You will be missed Ken.

Mr. Timmons was my history teacher at Bentley HS in the late 1970's. I was making foolish mistakes during that time of my life and he was one of the few good examples in my life. I got a well deserved E the first semester of my class with him. He called me to his desk and said to me "you did not even try, you can do better than this". I got a A the next semester. He agonized over the fact that although my grade bounced back my E was sooo low I still got a C for the final grade but he did the...

So sorry for your loss, he was one of my favorite teachers.May God bring you all peace.Sylvia Lomas Spotts
