The Big Urke as he was called back in the day when we would play in the park; from basketball, football, baseball; it was Tim, Wayne Smith, John Mulkey, and I. I remember those days as if they were yesterday. We had the best of times back in Park Lane and then as we grew up we had even more fun running around in Beavercreek. Tim will be missed, I knew him for over 30 year. My brother Wayne and I played Golf with Tim just before coming over here to Iraq. We had a great time and I wish we could play again. I know he is in a better place and he will be looking down on us making sure we are all OK! My prayers are with Janice and Sean and all Tim’s friends

I have worked with Tim 17 years ,and was so very sad to hear of his passing. I didn't see Tim everyday in those years,but EVERYTIME , I saw Tim he had a smile on his face,and was always so very nice and funny. I am so sorry I was not aware of Tim's illness. I pray for his family to have peace,and I just know Tim's smile is shining down on the world now. The world was a better place because of Tim.
In Sympathy,

I was shocked and saddened to hear of Tim's illness and his passing. Tim and I were friends in the late '70's. I remember Tim as a funny, caring and thoughtful friend. I am sure he was the same kind of husband and father. My prayers are with his family.
