For all of the Conant Family , Starting a family of my own on Oswald Ave. back in the late 70's I have such wonderful memories of the Family that lived up on the hill . Walt , Mrs. C. the boys and Kathleen
always treated me like I was one of there family . Always there for advice , a hot home cooked meal , a cold beer, or a helping hand on any kind of barn project . The time spent up on that hill will be in my memories forever. I will miss Tim as much as I miss Walt. My hope is some day we will all be together again ....God Bless all of you , Your friend , Jeff

Dear Roe, Kelly, and all our nephews and nieces, grand nephews, grand nieces, and great grand nephew and nieces. Timmy is with my brother now and I bet my brother has given Timmy "H" and just shaking his head and saying why? Why, who are we to judge. Just remember all the great times were had by all and just continue being the great family you are. God Bless you all

To my family & friends,

Thank you everyone, for all your fine words, memories, and support. Tim will be truly missed. He was my true love, we had a lot of happy times and a lot of sad times, a lot of laughs and tears. But we were there for each other. He was someone I could count on. He was a great father to my son, always wanting to teach us things, life was like an adventure with him. He loved people and had a million friends. He would do anything for us. My heart is broken and I'm so sad my grand-daughter will miss out. He adored her.

Thank you again for all your support.

Love, Kelly

To the entire Conant Family, Rosemary, Jimmy, Cathy, Tommy, Daniel and Matt.

I want to share with you my deepest sympathy on the tragic loss of Timothy. It is shocking to hear news like this and I am sure it is extremely difficult comprehend the loss.

My thoughts are with you during this difficult time and I hope you can find some comfort in the memories that you have for Timothy. Growing up with him was always full of excitement and adventure. He was always one step ahead of us all when we went fishing, skiing, driving the tractors at Rotti's farm, jumping the trains or building the forts in the back field. There is so much more however I think we will all hold his memories a little closer now. I am so sorry for his loss but am honored that I knew him in my childhood.

He will be greatly missed and my thoughts of comfort and strength are with you all.

Kelly, Wayne, Matt & Maureen and the entire Conant/St John Family - I just learned about your loss and I am so sorry. I knew Timmy only from my years as Kelly's client and in all that time I never even realized he was Matt's brother (I worked with Matt at Besse's). Please know you will always be in my prayers and thoughts. Although I never met Timmy, my relationships with Kelly and Matt guarantee that Timmy must have been a wonderful, funny, lucky and most lovely man. I pray for your comfort and peace until the end of time.

I remember being a dumb 19 year old kid just getting in the sheet metal union as a first year apprentice and getting put on a job with Tim. He wasn't the easiest guy to work for and I almost quit a couple times, but I'm glad I didn't. I learned so much from Tim in the years I work with him and I have so much respect for him as a co-worker and a friend. I will miss you Tim. My heart goes out to his family and friends.

Timmy was everything and more to us. When we needed anything, Tim was there. When we needed a good laugh he was the one we looked to. Our lives will not be the same without him and he will be missed greatly. We will do our best to live our lives the way Timmy would have wanted us to and do our best to make him proud. We also would like to say thank you for all of the support. We have a great family and a lot of great friends. We would not have been able to do it with out all of the help. Lots of love Wayne, Kyla, & Kalise
