Not sure what to say?

I don´t think anyone who knew Tim will ever forget him. I think of Tim´s family often and I hope Anne and all who loved Tim are doing well . Miffy

I want to say without Tim´s help; I would never have passed my Shakespeare class. Tim was quite a wordsmith. I am sure all his love ones miss him and I hope his wife is doing well.

Back in the 1980s, I had the pleasure of arguing numerous cases against Tim in both the Court of Appeals and the Michigan Supreme Court. He was great to work with and to argue against; I have fond memories of a number of those cases no matter which one of us won. If there was any real justice, he would have won election to the Court of Appeals when he did run; heaven knows he would have been an outstanding addition to that Court. I am sorry that he left us so relatively early in life and...

I am saddened to hear the news about Tim's passing. I had the pleasure of singing in the Cathedral choir with Tim for many years. Tim was so kind and such a great storyteller as well.

Ann,
I am so sorry for your loss. It was a privilege to know you and Tim during your stay at HH.

Though Tim was my adversary, he graciously showed me around the courthouse, introduced me to to the judge, and chatted with me about the case. My experiences with him in the years following reinforced my initial impression. He was not just a highly capable lawyer, but one who truly cared about getting the law and facts right, and whose civility...

Tim was my first boyfriend. He was a sweetheart for sure. I am glad he had a happy marriage and that he loved his work. Can’t ask for more than that.RIP
