Timothy Earl Sly

God bless you, and yours at this time of loss. I work with Bryne, and heard of the loss of your father Tim, Rachael.

I know we don't know each other well, but I know of your kindness and caring. I wanted to let you know, you, and your family are in my thoughts.

Tim treated all people with a great deal of warmth and kindness. He treated me like a daughter. Goodbye Gentle Giant and Godspeed.

Tim was a wonderful man and I enjoyed working with him during our time at the SJ. I still remember those United Way Campaigns (like everyone else!) and just being able to talk to him about so many things. God bless and keep him.

Tim was among the better of us at the Statesman Journal. Quick with humor, and desire to see to our cubicle comforts, he will be missed in many ways.

Thank you so much for all of the kind words and support, please keep them coming,Dad touched many lives. We hope people will be able to come to the celebration of life at McNary from 2-5, everyone is welcome.

I've never known a man who was so completely in the moment, every moment.

Tim's spirit of kindness, generosity, and immeasurable capacity for love and forgiveness is reflected in his daughter Rachael, whom I love very, very much.

To Angie, Rachael, and Jacob, I am so deeply sorry for the loss of your husband and father.

He will be sorely missed.

All of our lives are better for knowing Tim.

Tim and I spent some years together in the Martial Arts. His character and honesty were as large as he was in person.

I'll always remember Tim as a giant of a man...which had nothing to do with his physical size. He had the biggest heart of anyone I've known. He would always jump in to lend a hand where needed, be patient with you when you asked him stupid questions, be quick to laugh and slow to anger.

One of my favorite quotes is, "One day your life will flash before your eyes. Make sure its worth watching." I'm sure Tim's was worth every second. He'll be greatly missed.
