Loramie), St. Peter in Chains (Hamilton), and then at St. Saviour/St. John (Cincinnati). His highest aspiration was to serve as a parish priest and to care for those in his charge.

Dear Bunch Family:
I was out of town for over a week, and while "catching up" on the computer I sadly noticed Fr. Tim's death notice. I've know the Bunch family since being a neighbor and Parishioner of St. Margaret Mary's Parish for over60 years. Please accept my sincere sympathy on the death of your brother Tim. Our family shares in your sorrow.
Sincerely, Audrey Merrill-Kistner and family

I met Father Tim through golf and his brother Nick. I knew not a better person than Father Tim. May he rest in peace and his family remember all the great time that they had with him.

I was fortunate enough to get to know Father Tim when he was an assistant Pastor at Saint Theresa, Little Flower. I was a teacher there and he visited the children often. It was one of his first appointments yet he handled the responsibilities smoothly. He was truly a man of God.

About a year after Father Bunch became a priest, my father died unexpectedly at age 62. My mother was devastated. Father Bunch was a comfort to her at thus time and said the funeral mass. His homily appeared inspired since it mentioned so many attributes that were like my father. Father Bunch and my mother became friends, exchanging letters; my mother would have him over for lunch. He was like a son to her. Both Father Tim and my mother came from or had big families so they had that in common. What a good man and holy priest he was. Condolences to the family.
