I was truly saddened to learn of Tim's passing. I attended school with him going all the way back to Farnsworth Elementary - culminating with our graduation from Johnson High School. Growing up, we played on many of the same neighborhood athletic teams. Over the years since, I would have the opportunity to periodically run into him at various venues. Tim had the innate ability to make me smile - or laugh - even when he wasn't trying to be funny.

He will be missed.

April 30, 2013

I was so sorry to hear this sad news. My thoughts and sympathy are with your and your family, Joy.

I was sad to hear of Tim's passing. He was always a Kind and Gentle man, someone who was always smiling and ready to greet you at work. He gave me a few rides home and I remember once seeing him park on Arcade Street in St Paul (near a flower shop) I asked him what type of flowers he got for his wife the next day, only to find out that he was going to work out across the street at the gym. That conversation always made me smile.

April 29, 2013

I knew both Tim and Joy many years ago, Joy was my Manager back in the day of First Computer Corp, now US Bank. Joy, my deepest sympathy goes out to you and your family.
