I met Tim at the S.P.I.N. Meetings, mentioned in his obituary, as the representative for the L.A. School Police Department. He was a good man, dedicated to his community, and when he saw a need acted on it and made things happen. I enjoyed working with him and know he will be missed by all who knew and loved him. My deepest sympathies to his family.

Tim, Thank you for the great memories. You are our hero and always be in our hearts.

Tim was an amazing part of our family! He was so giving, caring and loving! He will be missed tremendously, especially his smile and his generosity. We have another very special guardian angel watching over us, especially you Valerie! Words can not even begin to express the loss we feel. Valerie, please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers always. With love,
Nicole, Mike, Zach, Luke and Jillian Romeo

Dear Valerie,
I am saddened with the news of Tim's death. He was the "CAPTAIN" when I first started on the Crisis Response Team in 1993. He was always supportive and carried himself with such class. I remember how pleased he was with the results of an assignment he had asked of me and Eleanor Montana (also on the Crisis Response Team) to oversee in the area of Wilmington that was referred to as "Ghost Town". He wasn't quite sure if we could bring him any results but we did. I...

As a member of his high school class of 1968 I always remember Tim as a vibrant active and enthusiastic person. He always cared more for others than himself and lived in a generous and benevolent way. He will be missed by many many people. He was a bright light of honor and integrity.....

For nearly 2 decades Tim and Val have touch members of my family through their service to the community. Tim will be missed by so many for his kind heart and respectful approach toward others. May our prayers be with you.

Dear Tim and family, we met at Gardena PD in February, 1971 when you and I were Police Cadets. I knew even then you were destined to do great things. You were a class act throughout your police career and continued to prove your selfless commitment to community service in the City of Lomita and at your parish church. I consider myself blessed to have known and worked with you. And I know our Savior has prepared a place for you. God Bless your family and loved ones in this time of sorrow. ...
