It has been 50 years since I have even seen or talked to Tim but I played on youth teams with him
in Wauwatosa. Most of my good friends from grade school at St. Jude's went to MUHS, I, unfortunately did not. He was tremendously respected for being his own man, I wish I would have talked to him before his passing to let him know he was admired.

TO THE LARKIN FAMILY, I just found out about Tim's recent death at the MUHS HALL OF FAME DINNER last night 4/25. the 1962 team was honored last night, and I was looking forward to seeing him as he was an integral part of that team. I was a freshman on that team, but played a lot of baseball and basketball with Tim. HE was a standout athlete and great person whom always treated everyone with respect.....very sad, my condolences.

Dear Pat,

I am so sorry to hear of Tim's death. What a courageous and loving husband, father, and grandfather he was. Be assured of my prayers for all of you.

I remember Tim in many ways and most of them focus on basketball. I was terrified guarding him when we played against each other in grade school. I was amazed by his skills when he played at Marquette High. I also saw how much he loved watching Kevin play ball at MUHS. But that's only part of the story. What I most remember are Tim's warmth, his keen listening, and his quiet way of honoring his commitments in life -- in marriage, in family, in friendship, at work, at his parish. at MUHS and St. Norbert's. Your loss is great, indeed. Savor the memories and continue to thank God for blessings receive.

To the LARKIN family,

Please accept the condolences of the BLOSSFIELD family upon the occasion of TIM's death. We go way back and I can still remember the baseball games we played when TIM played for ED RAATZ and PAUL and I played for PERKINS BIRDLAND. He was always a quality man and a superior athlete.
With deep respect,

Our deepest sympathy to the entire Larkin family. We have many fond memories of Coach Larkin with the SJV Basketball Team. He provided the foundation for many young men though his approach to the game and more importantly his life lessons. Our son Jason was one who benefitted from Tim's mentoring. He was a great man.

To the Larkin Family: We are very sorry for your loss. I spent grade school and high school at MUHS with Tim. It occurred to me when you spend 12 years of your education with a person you know them well, maybe better than others you meet throughout your life. I will always remember Tim as one of those special people that help the rest of us become a better person.

Tim was a very humble man, who had a genuine concern for educating children.

To the family, as the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

Be encouraged and have confidence in the Lord. Know that to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord!
