Timothy P. O'Brien

My deep condolences to Tim's O'Brian's family. Tim was always a bright light for many of us, close and afar. My prayers are with you.

Tim was both a gentle man and a fierce competitor on the beat -- an inspiration on both counts. I'll never forget his simple recipe for success as a reporter: "Make Calls!" Farewell, my friend.

I'm very sorry to hear about Tim's passing. My deepest sympathies to the family.

Dear Ruth and Family,
While chatting with Tim at Lois Tuerff's wake, I commented to Tim that he was always the "brains of the outfit", and that he'd best take care of himself since there was no one on the horizon who could possibly fill his shoes. I never knew that I was such a prophet. For a little guy, he left a huge pair of shoes behind. He was loved by so many.

My deepest sympathy for my dear
O'Brien family. Being we, us Munks lived all over the US. whenever I
would call to talk to Ruthy, Tim would answer the phone, I would think to myself,well, there goes my 3 minute call...he loved to talk as we all know. I'll miss you, my One day at a time friend.....

My sincere condolences to the O'Brien family. Rest in peace my friend, we will never forget you.

To the O'Brien Family
On behalf of my brothers, Roger and Joseph, the Day family wishes to express its sympathy and sadness at the loss of Tim. We knew him in the 1950s in the Golden Knights when we were all young. His impish humor, great dedication and talent were key contributions to the success of the Golden Knights in its golden years. He will always be in our fondest recollections of our wonderful years together.

Tim was and old friend, a true GK, and one of the true gentlemen i have known. We will all miss him. My prayers go out to Tim's family and for Tim. God Bless.

Our deepest sympathy to all of you. We are so saddened, and we are always here for you to offer our love,support and friendship. You are a wonderful family.
