Our deepest condolences to Maggie and family. We knew Tim and Maggie through our dear friends, the Sullivan's. I got to play golf with Denny and Tim on several occasions in the past few years and I must say he was a true gentleman. Pat and I send our deepest sympathies and Tim will surely be missed.

We loved Grampy very much, and we have shared great memories with him. Kiki liked laying on his belly, and how he would say "Oh Man!". Matthew liked playing baseball with him, and they would have a great time. I enjoyed his creativity, and how much he liked to draw. He was also very funny and we miss him very much.

Maggie and family: My sincere and profound sympathy on your loss, and the loss of a friend and great person. His athletic achievements and prowess on the diamond and gridiron of the Lee Athletic Field in the 50's are legendary; a class officer and class reunion member, he always lent a helping hand to all endeavors in his quite, efficient and unassuming manner.
Fortunately for me I was able to spend time with him last month and know he enjoyed the Red Sox belt buckle. God bless you and your family; God bless Tim, a friend.

Tim was my friend from the time we played Babe Ruth Baseball over 50 years ago. Nobody had a better curve ball than Tim. In recent years,I had the opportunity to renew our friendship over a couple of rounds of Golf. Tim was a good man. I always enjoyed his smiling chuckle! God Bless you Tim. My sympathies to your loving family.

What a loss this is for all of us and me personally.From the baseball diamond in LenoxDale in 6 th grade to celebrating Tim and Missy's wedding, to bragging about Matthew, Shannon, and Kiki, the grandchildren we shared, and to those wonderful tournaments at Wyantenuck and the vacations in Florida, it ended way to soon. I will dearly miss my friend of nearly 60 years, but I will never forget him or the family he has left behind.
