Tim and Pam have been wonderful neighbors to me ever since I moved across the street from them. I am very thankful for his friendship and amazing accountant skills and I too will miss him. To the Corlett family: I am so sorry for your loss. You had an amazing husband, dad, grandfather, brother, friend, and neighbor all in one. Rest in Peace Tim, say hello to Buddy, and thank you for your kindness. Your neighbors, Suzy & Copper.

I enjoyed many rounds of golf with Tim over the years, and he seemed to relished every moment (except when it rained). Never saw him lose his temper, which put him in rare company. His dedication to the Granby Golf League as treasurer for nearly 30 years was admirable, and the league will be honoring Tim with an annual award for its most improved player. Tim's secret weapon on the course was his "baffler" -- a 5-wood that he always seemed to hit straight and solid. We will miss you, Tim, especially on a sunny day out on the links.

We are so very sorry to hear of Tim's passing. While not in touch with him in recent years, I have always remembered our great high school adventures, and considered him one of my closest friends. The thought of him being gone is unusually disturbing for me. His memory is deeply ingrained in my fondest thoughts. He was a good man and a solid friend! Our prayers go out to his family and friends. My hope is that we will meet again one day. He was loved and will be deeply missed.
