My condolences and prayers sent to the Gossfeld family in this untimely death. Sounds like he was a very interesting, adventureous, caring person. Growing up in Suring WI I knew his loving family and went to school with his sister, Beth. God Bless.

Lynn and Megan-

I am so sorry about Tim. I had the pleasure of working with him on several communication initiatives at work this past year and he wasn't just a colleague, he was someone to look up to and I counted him as a friend. Know that you have my deepest sympathies – Tim will certainly be missed and the world was a better place because of him.

Mrs. Gossfeld: I was truly saddened to hear of Tim's passing and extend my deepest, sympathy to you, Megan and Tim's immediate family. I first met Tim at FBIHQ, and later worked along with him as a consultant through Thomson Reuters. He was a true professional and was no dobut dedicated to his family as he spoke so often of how proud he was of his daughter Megan. He will surely be missed and I hope you find comfort in knowing that he touched so many people throughout his life.

Respectfully, Bob Monteiro

Lynn and Megan, I was a HS classmate of Tim's. He was an inspiration to me at that time. His dignity and drive to succeed was encouraging. Megan - My father passed when I was only 7 years old. I will always remember his love and care for me and the wonderful memories we shared...I pray that you too can have those memories with you forever...Lynn - my prayers are with you...may God comfort you and give you peace and strength. Tim made a positive impression on this world and many people in it. God Bless you!

Lynn and Megan, Kathy, Elizabeth, Jennifer, Rosemary and Jon, I offer you all my deepest sympathy at this sudden loss of Husband, Father, Son and Brother. Tim was one of my best friends from high school and he will always be remembered as a great guy, a good sport and one heck of a trombone player. You are all in my thoughts and prayers duruing this difficult time.

To the Gossfeld Family,

I was deeply saddened to hear of Tim's untimely passing. I had the privilege of knowing him beginning at the FBI Academy in 1984. He was then, and continued to be, one of the most warm, personable and practical people I have ever met. Every time I saw him he was full of enthusiasm and had that characteristic and infectious smile on his face. Tim's warm and positive presence are what i remember most, and he made this world a safer and better and place for all of us.

Lynn and Megan,
I just learned of Tim's passing and am deeply saddened. Please accept my deepest sympathy.

Lynn, Megan and family
I am so shocked and sad that Tim is no longer with us. Tim touched many people's lives across the globe including us in Australia. We shared a great passion for soaring flight. Tim loved PC and the glider was immaculate. I hope that the soul of PC has turned into a beautiful white angel and now soars with Tim in heaven.

To the Gossfeld Family: I worked in Chicago with Tim...he was sweet, smart, respectful and caring..please accept my deepest sympathy.
Barb Valocik (Retired AO Chicago Division)

Lynn- you have my deepest sympathy at the loss of Tim. He was such a great friend and classmate at Suring High School and will be deeply missed.

Lynn, Megan & family:

Tim was one of the nicest people I have ever met. He will be truly missed by many many people!

Lynn, Meghan and family, we are deeply saddened. The pilots of the contest have commissioned a memorial for Tim that will be permanently placed at the airport in Tim's memory. Many Ionia pilots were very close with Tim and truly enjoyed his company. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Lynn, Megan, and Family,
My deepest condolences and prayers are with you during this time. For my first two years at the Bureau, ASAC Gossfeld was a strong source of personal encouragement and support despite my junior position. I clearly remember listening to the passion in his voice during his retirement speech. While I listened to his powerful words, I promised myself that I too would follow my career dreams and lead a life of no regrets.

Lynn and Megan, Amy and I just heard the news of Tim's passing. We are so sorry for your loss. I have read all of the entries in this book and am amazed at his accomplishments, friendships, loyalty, love for flying and most of all his love for you two. I had only met him once this fall at a cc meet and admired the encouragement he showed to Megan. Our prayers are with you as you go through this difficult time and beyond.
Sincerely~

Lynn and Megan, Your family was so special in so many ways...I find it hard to find the words to tell you how much it meant to me to find the Gossfelds in the soaring community. Megan was my FIRST glider-kid when she was so little...all i can think about is all the laughter, all the great locations (some good, some not so good)..and how much Charlie-Lite loved all of you. Know that my prayers are for your comfort at this awful time...and I know that Charlie-Lite was there for Tim to join Spratt and so many others.

I am so sorry for your loss. I knew Tim when he ran the JTTF meetings in Mpls. He was respectful, intelligent and an overall person. The world is a better, and safer, place because of him. My prayers are with you and your family.

Lynn and family, I had the pleasure of meeting with Tim and providing his company with my servicers. So sorry for your loss. A great professional,husband and father. He will be missed by all. received a very nice email from Tim,after speaking at the ASIS meeting Class Act. Our prayers are with you.
Greg Sherrill

Dear Lynn and Meghan, I am so saddened to learn of Tim's passing. My memories of your family are of the several visits you made to fly with us at Caesar Creek. It was a pleasure to get to know Tim and to see what a close, loving family you were. God speed.

... a special memory of Tim .. We flew/raced together at the 1999 Region 7 contest held at both CGC and Hinckley airports. One morning just as we were about to grid the gliders I realized that I had accidentally left my old GPS unit on overnight and had ran the (8)AA batteries down. Tim had some and quickly got them to me so I could race with GPS help that day. So sorry for your loss .. Tim was certainly special.

I am sorry to hear of the loss of Tim. May your wonderful memories help you through this most difficult time; my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Mrs. Gossfeld,
Unfortunately, I didnt find out what a stand up guy Tim was until after he left the Chicago Division. He endeared himself to me and my family while ASAC in MP when he not only coordinated but also extended limitless accomidations to me during my 2007 hardship TDY to Minneapolis in order to facilitate my youngest daughter's bone marrow transplant. His enduring hospitality brough me and my wife much needed solace and for that, I will forever be thankful to him. Please accept our sincerest condolences.

Dear Lynn and Megan, Pam and I were profoundly saddened to hear of Tim's tragic accident at Ionia. Getting to know the 3 of you at Parowan was such a pleasure and I had had a great time flying with Megan in the foothills near the airport. I will never forget our Japanese Dinner in Cedar City or the Ethiopian dinner in St. Paul. Tim will be greatly missed by his friends from all areas of his life but especially his soaring friends. May God's peace and comfort be with you and your family during this difficult time.
I will miss Tim (Papa Charlie)

Lynn and Megan my sincere condolences. I shared the sky over MN with Tim often and will sorely miss him calling “Papa Charlie Okay” with his faithful crew offering words of encouragement over the radio. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dean Lynn and Megan. We send or deepest sympathies to you and the Gossfeld family. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you. It was a pleasure to get to know Tim and you during our times together in Utah. Tim's kindness, integrity and quiet passion for life made our lives richer for having known him.

Lynn and Megan, I am deeply saddened by the loss of Tim. I was glad to have had the opportunity to get to know Tim a quite a bit in recent years. My favorite memories of Tim are from the 2010 Sports Class Nationals soaring contest in Parowan, UT. Dick Andrews and I enjoyed going to dinner with you all at a nice Japanese restaurant during the contest. I know Dick would agree that that dinner was a highlight of the trip. It was nice to hang out with you all during the long contest. We also enjoyed the get together for dinner at the Ethiopian restaurant in St. Paul a few months later. It was very enjoyable. I also processed a few MN state soaring records that Tim achieved in recent years – some in his ASW 27 and some with Barry Jaeger in Barry's Arcus sailplane. You are in my thoughts and prayers. May God bless you and bring you comfort in this difficult time.

Dear Lynn and Megan, My family and I are very sorry for your loss. We are so glad to have known Tim and his great family. We will keep you in our prayers.

If there is anything we can do, please do not hesitate to let me know.

Tim was a terrific guy as well as a complete professional. I knew him through my association with the FBI. He was friendly and personable and obviously loved his family greatly. Please accept my condolences during this difficult time.

Dear Lynne and Megan, We are all so very deeply sorry to learn of Tim's passing at the Thomson Reuters family. I share the passion of aviation with all of you and Tim and I had many talks about flying and soaring and his love of his family most of all. He shared the video of Megan and him soaring and oh what a proud dad was he! May you and your family find comfort in all the wonderful memories you have of Tim. He was a wonderful, caring man and will be missed by many.

Lynn, Megan, Kathleen, Elizabeth, Jennifer, Rosemary and Jon;

I am deeply saddened by Tim's untimely death ~ Tim was a man of great courage who was a dedicated FBI Agent and leader. His commitment to his country was only surpassed by his commitment to his family. His ability to identify important issues, to solve difficult problems and to promote justice are just a few of things about him that all will remember. Notwithstanding his remarkable skills and achievements Tim's greatest treasure was you, his beloved family. Please accept my deepest sympathy for your loss ~

Dearest Lynn and Megan ~ With heartfelt sympathy you remain in our prayers during this delicate time of loss and tragedy. Tim Gossfeld was, without question, a great sportsman, lawman, husband, dad, friend and contributor to all who knew him. We will always be mindful of his joyous spirit in every climb, in every glide and, of course, at Cloudbase. Godspeed, Tim!

To the Gossfeld Family,

It is very hard to put into words what a true pleasure it was to have known Tim and to have worked closely with him over the last two years. From being my mentor to being my friend, to hear him speak of flying & wood working to the joy he had in owning a share of Green Bay Packers stock. Please take comfort in knowing that although his time with us in this world was cut short, the impact that Tim had on me and others will live on forever.

Sincerely,
