Timothy David Getchell

Dear Getchell Family,
My name is James Lovick. I worked with Judge for a number of years at Qwest. I also played pool with him for a year on Tuesday night's at Geraldines. I left Qwest in 2003 and lost touch with Judge. I just found out about his passing tonight. I am deeply saddened. He was a kind spirit that touched many people around him. He made us laugh constantly at work and play. My favorite memory was the time I went to his house for the Frank Sinatra party. He told me I hadn't...

Dearest Getchell Family,

Tim's dad, Dick, and I were at the U together, and years later, your extraordinary Tim was my favorite waiter at a Galtier Plaza cafe, when I came in for lunch from Channel 2. He gave me an audio tape of his band, which I ran across last week, and for my 40th high school reunion in Glencoe, he loaned me a huge box of precious music from the 50s. Whatta great guy! My heart hurts for your family and the loss of Tim's special presence in this world....

To Tim's parents and his wife: I went to 6th/7th grade with Tim (@ Mahtomedi) and we used to be neighbors growing up. Tim - this was apparently before he was "Judge" - and I had a tree fort in the woods down the hill by the ponds before they built all the houses back there. Of course it was not for his building prowess we had the fort as I found out quickly that he could not really hammer a nail "properly" back then - being a lefty?! I'm really sad to hear about his passing but I am...

Dear Dick and Nancene:

My deepest sympathy to you and your family. The Getchell and Taylor families go back 50 years to St. Paul,MN. The brotherhood of SAE has lost a good friend. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Paul Taylor

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Getchell,

I just spoke with my Mom this morning and heard about Tim's passing. I know my parents wish they could have been here for you, but as you know they just recently headed back to Arizona. Speaking for the Berglund family, our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Sincerely,

Steve Berglund

Dear Getchell Family --
We did not know Tim, but through the entries of your friends and family, we can tell that he must have been a joy to be around.

Our son, Josh is in Chris Getchell's class -- we are keeping all of you in our thoughts and prayers during such a difficult time. Tim was much too young...
Hold tight to the memories.

Sincerely,
Bob & Chris Clark

Anna I am so sorry to hear about Judge's passing.

One never knows when our time will be over on earth. It reinforces that we need to make each day count.
I hope you and Judge made many happy memories and those memories will help you in the days and years ahead.

I will always remember his wit and how he would publish these fake Qwest news publications. They would always be good for a daily laugh.

My thoughts and prayers will be with you, Judge's family...

Dear Getchell Family,

Your's is a loss that will be felt by many.

I didn't know Tim well but remember him from M.A. He was always so funny and what a fantastic musician.

My prayers are with your family in this time of sadness.

Dear Anna,

I was so saddened to learn about Judge's passing. I worked next to him at the time he (and you) borrowed my digital camera to take on one of your exciting roller coaster trips. I'm so thankful to have known Tim and to have lent some opportunity for you two to have fun. I enjoyed the pictures when he showed them to me. I also know personally of cancer struggles. I hope you remember me when we were all seated in the waiting room at Maplewood Cancer Treatment Center ...
