Ruth and family: We were very saddened to hear of Tim's passing. He was my hero as we were growing up. I gave him many a piggy-back ride to Levinson's just so we could read comic books and eat Tastycake Creamies. It's good to know that he passed being taken care of, and loved, by his family. God bless you all. Bill and Barbara Yosh

Dear Ruth and Family,
I am so sorry to hear about Tim. I will always remember him working in the yard & tending to the garden. He was so proud of the vegetables he grew & he was anxious to share. Every year he tried to improve on them and make them better for next year. I even remember one year he had a race with my Dad on “Growing the Best Tomatoes”. I am not sure who won but it was funny watching them trying to out-do each other. Your family and ours grew closer than neighbors. That is something that is rare this day and age. Our families will always cherish those memories. No one can take those away! I want you to know that when I see a man tending to his garden, I will always have found thoughts of Tim. God Bless & Comfort you and your family.
