Tim's loss has been felt by our whole family. My sister-in-law, Terri and Mike Roberti, have been great friends of Tim's for many years. Just this last Christmas, Tim stopped by the Roberti's while we were staying with them. He played a few games with my teenage sons and truly made a nice addition to our day.

We will miss Tim at all our jointly attended parties and for all the stories that he was always there to tell.

Saddly, his was a good life taken too soon. We will miss him.

Our condolences are offered to the Hoffman family at their time of loss. Although I don't remember meeting Tim, I worked for Mr. Lathrop Hoffman in the late 1980's and admired him and his family. I'm sure that his son will be greatly missed. We will offer up prayers for the family, that God would comfort them now and provide for every need.
