Truly sorry to hear of Tim's passing. We played baseball and football together at Solano JC and I will never forget his sense of humor, confidence, his tenacity to compete, and being a great teamate. I'm sure he was a fighter all the way! Condolences and peace to his family and friends. RIP Tim!

My sincerest condolences to the entire Gerlach family. I loved "TG" for his warrior mentality, passion for life, genuine personality and tremendous sense of humor. Had millions of laughs with Tim during our days working together at Willis.
Hard to imagine what he endured the past 14 months and I know he is resting in peace now. Attached is a favorite photo of Tim from my wedding in Napa in 2009. Classic TG smile! Going to miss Tim and will honor his memory and valiant fight in a special way. God bless!
Genuinely happy and always so much fun. We will sorely miss this man.

Tim "The Governor" Gerlach, was a one of a kind friend and father to Michael. Generous with his, time, money and ear and always up for a good story. After I moved to the Seattle area in 2006, Tim religiously called me every month for 10 years.. "Just checking in Buddy..." started every message. Big heart, great smile and that laugh, especially when he'd start laughing so hard he'd tear up and have to stop his story in the middle to compost himself :)
One of a hundred memories and stories, I'll see you on the other side my brother.

Mr. and Mrs. Gerlach you and your family are in my prayers although I have not seen Tim in years. I still remember him from when we were Kids. He always had a quick wit and a ready smile for everyone. I have many fond memories of the entire Gerlach Family. God Bless you all and may he comfort you through this time. With Love Joe Masel
