As Tim was my brother-in-law, I was able to spend time with him whenever he came to Kearney. I had great admiration for his humor, kindness, and intelligence. I will never forget and will always hold a special place in my heart for Tim.
Rest in peace Tim.

Flash was a one-of-a-kind friend who will always be a thought away. Though we hadn't been in touch for decades, I can still feel the lust for life we shared testing the immortality of our youth. Whether it was working at the hay mill, talking politics, music, art, playing baseball, or watching Gunsmoke and Monday Night Football with Harry, "Funk" was always on. He could make me laugh.
Cheri and I send his family our heartfelt sympathy.

I was also a band mate with Tim for many years. We experienced sharing our musical talent together and enjoyed playing music together. I was very sad to hear the news. My sympathies to the family.

Our deepest sympathy to Tim's family. Tim and the guys (Wray, Red, George, Tom, etc.) spent lots of time at our house in the early 70's. Joe was just talking about Little League and having to catch Tim's fiery fast ball. He also spoke of their many days playing lively games of handball. Tim had a funky sense of humor that made everyone laugh. We remember him also as a talented artist. He will be missed.
