Not sure what to say?

Rest In Peace Tim. Condolences to the family. I remember our football days together at HF.

Tilly,

We sure had some fun times together in high school and playing football at HF. You will be missed my friend.

Tim I remember from football at HF. RIP buddy. Fly, with reckless abandon, as Coach Milosevich told us, up in heaven.

Wrestling team from HF is how I remember Tilly. I can still see his face.

Rest in peace, brother.

Tim and I graduated from H-F together in 1974. Although we didn't see one another often between then and now, the times we did get together were always a joy. Tim was a great guy and will be missed.

Two years ago Tilly joined our 50 and over team. I thought he looked familiar. Indeed, we played against each other, years ago, in Matteson. He on the Saints and I on the Cruisers. Considering we play, maybe 3 hours a week, I've only known Tilly collectively for about 7 days. But with this guy, it was enough to see he was a very amicable, friendly, versatile teammate. Stressing the term "teammate." He would play any position, bat anywhere in the order, or sit the bench. Plus his name was Tim....

Tilly was just a really fun guy to be with. We all used to play Yukor about every week back in the day. I had not seen him in several years
and now I'm sorry that I let that happen. He will be missed.

Tilly was a friend of my brother's as we were growing up and a huge part of group. My sympathies to his family and he will always be in my heart, he was always a friend to me as well as to my brother.

We lose a great teammate and friend from our softball days in Homewood and Matteson, playing our 16"softball, a game we all loved. It was as much about the camaraderie as the competition, and Tilly fit in perfectly on both counts. Also loved sharing our passion for cars, especially his 40th anniversary maroon Vette, of which he was so proud and deservedly so. Our condolences to family and friends alike, he will be missed.
