We were neighbors until 1976 and my parents lived at 1547 until the mid 1990s. We always admired the Dowling family. I do remember Timmy from a young boy until he left high school. He became a tall, handsome and always friendly young man. May he rest peacefully in paradise. Bless the surviving Dowling family. Ed & Kathleen McGinty (in Georgia)

I always looked forward to seeing Tim at our meetings and conferences. He was serious about his work, but after we talked about work I knew we would be able to talk about our lives and share a few laughs. I am fortunate to have known him, and my mind is flooded with memories from our not frequent enough meetings. My sincerest sympathies go out to his family and to his other family at work. We will miss you.

Timmy was such a great guy. We went to grade school together & he was a sweetheart back then just like he was up to the end. He had a giant heart & it only grew over the years. He would post pics of his beautiful daughter Brigid Ann. She was the sun in the sky. He would post pics of his beautiful grandchildren. You could see by his face how much love he had for them. Brigid was the sun & the grandkids were the moon. I knew Timmy's siblings growing up as well. His parents were the nicest people you would ever want to meet. So, from them you could see where Timmy & his siblings got their love & kindness from. He will be missed but he is with his Dad & Brian watching down on his family & protecting them. You are a Gentleman's Gentleman. Rest in Peace 76er. for Frankford Boys Club.

So sorry to hear this news. I worked many years with Tim, as the Director for Dauphin County Election and Voter Registration in Harrisburg. Over the years, we had many, many highlights. May you rest in peace my friend.

There will never be enough words to express the depth of sadness we all have for the Dowling family.
Mrs Dowling, Brigid, family and friends...
May you find comfort in each other during this heartbreaking time.
What I will always remember is
Timmy's continuous positive attitude and unwavering faith is what helped the warrior in him these past 5+years.
We exchanged quite a few texts, me sending words of encouragement and him telling me to keep encouraging my friend who was battling too.
No matter what, he always thought of others. If he smiled at or with you, you were lucky to be in his orbit.
I'm finding some peace knowing he is not suffering anymore.
Timothy, you will be sorely missed by us all. Fly high
You will always have a special place in my heart.
Love,
Your friend, Miriam

I met Tim at the commissioner's office at Delaware & Spring Graden with my mom, Donna Aument, during a petition Challange in the early 90's. I needed to borrow one of his beloved books on Election Law. After that there wasn't and election cycle that went buy that mom and I weren't at DSG doing a challenge for either us or a candidate. The knowledge that Tim had will be sorely missed. I am sure that you will be watching over Bridget and the grandbabies.
To Bridget your father loved you and was extremely proud of all that you accomplished. always remember that.
