Not sure what to say?

I am thinking of you today Jen and Lily. Hoping you are both doing well. It´s a day to remember a remarkable person who is sorely missed.

Unfortunately I didn't know Tim very well, but he was always incredibly sweet when I did see him, and he will always be the man who raised my best friend

I will always remember Tim´s smiling face and the joy with which he made delicious meals for friends and family. I remember visiting soon after he got the "green egg" grill. He spoke about it with such passion and the meal was so good that we ended up getting one ourselves. If you happened to be in the McNulty household you just might end up being served up fresh handmade ravioli or some other delicacy. He was so loved by family and friends and will be missed.

I met Tim through his great friend Steve Rock. Our paths crossed in High School but our friendship began while Steve and I were getting our MBAs in our late 20s. I liked Tim immediately. Who couldn´t? Such a smart man with a sneaky cool disposition and sense of humor. Someone who unified a room. When I saw his record collection (after records were done and before they got cool again) I was amazed. Sheesh. Tim was too cool for me and I am a guy who strives to be cool. Years passed...

I was the night editor at the Post-Gazette when this boyish young man arrived on the scene, looking very Clark Kent-like in his black horn-rimmed glasses and quiet manner. I had worked with a parade of young reporters who used that job as night police reporter as a stepping stone to other jobs. But I noticed right away there was something quite different about this one, mostly from the questions he asked and the way he went about his business. Although he was quiet, he had a great smile...

My best memories of Tim are from long ago, from that time when we were figuring out how to be adults. I had stepped outside of the family circle to make a home with Andrew in Pittsburgh after college. We attended grad school and got married in Pittsburgh. Tim was our friend and neighbor. He was so smart. We could talk to Tim about all kinds of things. But Tim also loved to have a good time. He was fun. With Tim, I could laugh about issue I was grappling with. Tim invited us to his home, and...

My wife Aimee and I met Tim in the winter of 91-92 shortly after we moved to Pittsburgh. A mutual friend brought him over for dinner at our apartment in the Bonavita Mansion near CMU. At some point Tim started looking though our record collection and it became apparent that we knew and liked many of the same bands. I was so happy to have finally found a musical companion. These were the years between Trinity and NYU for Tim, and I was not hitting my stride at grad school, so we had a lot...

I knew Tim through Jen. I am a cancer survivor and my mother was a 3 time cancer survivor. I cannot capture in words the amount of resilience that Tim showed throughout his fight and is an inspiration for more people than he will ever know. Jen, your strength, fortitude, and continued ability to make sure Lily has been able to lead a 'normal' life despite her Dad's changing health is beautiful. Here for whatever you need... hugs and lots of food and some much needed distraction (when...

I knew Tim when he was a clerk at the Washington Bureau of The New York Times. We were young together, and I´m so grateful he became a cherished friend for the rest of his life. He was so intelligent, droll, sensitive and interesting. And Lily was the best and most important thing in his whole life.
