I remember Tim, fondly, as a friend from Hale. My deepest sympathy for your loss. I haven't seen Tim since high school but I remember him as always upbeat and ALWAYS kind to everyone.

Tim was a friend from Hale - fellow jock (and vet) who had the demeanor of a saint, a true gentleman, a good man. I used to give him the 'raz' on the way he pronounced his 'ch's' and he always laughed - always. Surely he "shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever." God comfort and bless you, his family.

Going way back, I remember climbing the apple trees with Tim. The ones in the middle of the row and towards the back were best for climbing and fort building. I last saw Tim at St. Mary's Hospital-Milw. (and Tom was there, too), back in the 70's. He was there for burn treatment. I was so sorry to see his name in the paper today. Please accept my condolences.

My fondest childhood memories include each and everyone in your family. Tim taught me how to build a perfect tree house. He tolerated me as a much younger neighborhood friend no doubt because of the wonderful bonds developed with his siblings. Please know that you are vivid in my memories and are sent my heartfelt support as you deal with your loss.
