I'm so sorry for your loss! I was a dorm-mate at Moody Bible Institute with Tim, and worked at WNIU as Fine Arts Director for 5 years in the early 80's (back when there was just one station and WNIJ was just a dream). My son, Zachary, has also worked at WNIJ in recent years, and I've appreciated the opportunities Tim gave him there. God bless you all!

Tim was a wonderful person and great colleague in public radio. He was extremely supportive of NPR Distribution's technology training initiative, and I could always count on a smile and a word of encouragement.
I offer that to you, his family, and to all of us who will miss him deeply.

When my husband died unexpectedly eighteen months ago, WNIJ was "on" at home and in the car and in the garden for me, almost nonstop. Your husband's programming on that station was an anchor for me for many months in a row. I will always be grateful for the pull of my attention from my loss, to learning about the lives of others out in the greater world. Now I can be happy in a quiet house, but at that time, I needed the comfort of the same voices that Donn and I used to hear together....

We are so sorry that Tim has been taken from your lives, but we know that he is filled with love and peace. He walked so bravely through all of this. I am forever in his debt, as he was the first one to take a chance on me in the broadcast world. What a wonderful career I've enjoyed thanks to that first door being opened, and what a friend I had in him as I walked my cancer journey and will try to do so in grace as he so inspired. Charlene, Daniel, and Jordan, we are with you in spirit...
