You always said all we needed was each other, just like Yoko and John. You were so very correct. The depths of my sadness grows every day. Nothing in this world could ever compare to the bond we had together. I love you beyond comprehension and miss you terribly. Until we are together again....

Tim and I graduated from the same high school (Kiski School), although we were not in attendance at the same time. I met Tim at West Virginia University through a friend, Patrick Kelley. Tim was the kind of guy you always enjoyed spending time with, a gentle giant.
I am thankful to have been a very small part of Tim’s life. His wife and family are in my thoughts and prayers. Rest in peace big guy.

Theresa, please accept my condolences. Tim (Mark) was sincerely the nicest, sweetest guy. I’m so glad to learn that he was happily married. We attended WVU at the same time and he was from my late father’s hometown of Ford City, Pa. Tim often gave me rides from WVU to Ford City so that I could spend time with my relatives during the holidays since my hometown was in Connecticut. I will always remember Tim’s good nature and that he had a heart of goldRIP my friend.

Mark (You can call me Tim) Fruehan, was a good friend of mine. He was a good human being that I will miss daily. He was kind, thoughtful, generous, and sincere. He was very talented with his skills and I admired him. If you had the chance to meet him you were blessed.
He loved his wife, his family, his friends and his pets. He had a great childhood and loved to talk about growing up in Ford City and his friends. He had a great sense of humor. I'm sure I haven't stated enough here to represent his life adequately.

Tim was a loyal and generous friend! We became best friends during his freshman year at WVU and I was an experienced sophomore. We traveled throughout Western PA and West Virginia throughout college and continued to stay in close contact until his passing. We attended sporting events, rock concerts and ski vacations. Tim will be missed by me and his many pals. Godspeed Tim, I’ll miss our monthly concersations.
