I worked with Tim for many years at Raytheon. He was an Engineer's Engineer. He was good with numbers and good with people. I always admired his positive attitude even when he faced cancer. Rest in Peace.

As the youngest of three brothers, Tim being the eldest, he has always been larger than life to me. When we were kids in school, he made it look so easy while I would have to pound my head doing homework until really late. At General Dynamics and then Raytheon, Tim was completely in his element. He really loved what he did. They say the difference between a genius and the average IQ is just 2 percent. I say Tim had that number beat easily.

Tim was a fighter and a hero to our family. Lee and I admired him and were always so happy to see him. Lee and Tim were fishing buddies and had wonderful fishing trips. Our entire family will miss him but we know there is Joy In Heaven. Tim and David are my Nephews and always will be a big part of my life. Bonnie Christopherson

Tim was my twin sister's first child. We had the kids together a lot, as little ones. When my sister passed I hope I helped Tim fill that void of the loss of his mom. I couldn't have loved him more..he confided in me, and I shall miss all our conversations, our golfing, out sports-texting and fun times. I was extremely proud of him and my heart has a huge hole in it.

So sorry for your loss. I only knew Tim once he moved to Tucson. A gentleman and a scholar, and a fellow red-head and melanoma patient. He always had "finesse", a way with words, and an expert in his field. My deepest condolescences.
