Thank you for teaching science to me in junior high school / middle school. I remember you as a very kind and patient man. And I marvel at the many lives you touched through your teaching. Rest in peace and my deep condolences to the Timko family. I know it has been a few years but I all too well know that the pain does not go away.

I'm so sorry to hear that we lost Mr. Timko. My thoughts and prayers are with you Mrs Timko and your sons of course. I'll never forget having you as Neighbors and hanging out with your boys as we grew up. What I do know is that Mr. Timko will be joining a fantastic group of teachers and that my Mom and Dad will be waiting for him.

The last time I saw Ed was at Father Joe's Funeral Mass. He left the church before I had a chance to talk with him. Mary and boys please accept my condolences at the loss of your loved one. You are in my prayers at this difficult time.
Love and peace,
Cousin, Theresa Wysocki Golomb (Casmer and Anna Wysocki's daughter).

I'll always remember the good times at lunches with Majewski, Pencak and Lobby; and the Christmas assemblies with Santa climbing down a rope from the balcony. Most of all I'll remember Eddie's friendship and pleasant manner. Deepest condolences to Mary and the boys. Thanks for the memories.
