I was Tim's secretary in the late 70s at Frank Stape Builders in Park Ridge. He always had a unique way of telling a great story, kept me laughing through stressful days and was a very kind soul. So sorry to hear of his passing. He was one of the best bosses I ever had. Rest in peace, Tim.

I worked with Tim at Citizens Bank in Park Ridge back in the 70s. He was always smiling,
friendly, cheerful, a great story-teller, and a pleasure to work with. Rest in Peace, Tim.
