Timothy Budnicki

To Tim's family:

If this is the same Tim Budnicki who went to St. Philip grade school in East St. Louis, I could share some funny stories about him.

We had a very large, but very close class in grade school. I can remember Tim sitting behind me in 5th grade, giving me trouble. Believe it or not, I have a fond memory of that and laugh out loud when I think about it.

I have not seen Tim in may years, but remember him as a happy go lucky fun person.

I have actually already signed this
but I wrote a poem and would like to
share it with all of Tim's family and friends.
Memorial to a Friend
A friend of mine has gone away, but
in my heart he'll always stay. Through thick and thin he's always been a true blue friend up to the end.Who made me grin and made me laugh at myself and at the past. He may be gone but he's really not, he's in my dreams and in my thoughts. So until our paths meet up again keep that smile and...

It wasn't until I learned of Tim's passing that I realized the impact he had made on me and his co-workers during the year we worked together at SLCC. So many depended on him, not only for their jobs, but also for a smile or a laugh to get them through the day. I'll truly miss his energy and spirit.

Tim and I were very good friends.
We have known each other for many
years. My father worked with his, at Swift Co. I agree with Sheila
that Tim was a person who would do
any thing for you. He once told me he was a nice person who finished last. As unfortunate as it is that
this has happened he didn't always
finish last. I never met Christina,
but I do know his children were first with him. It's a shame that he
was unaware of how many people did respect...

Tim worked in the office next to me. He was the type of person one always enjoyed having around. I always enjoyed talking to him and laughing with him. He was very smart and good at anything he did. He loved his children dearly. Tim was a special person with lots of charisma and I miss him much. He was a friend. His family was blessed to have him. I share in their sorrow.
