our sympathies to your family. back around 1980 my fiancé Cynthia and I
played coed volleyball with the Taft and
Berlin couples. We played competitive city-recreation teams in Lincoln. We laughed and lost and had some great fun times. I remember Tim had a great laugh and attitude toward life. Those were the good old days we all cherish. CW

Tim and LuAnn lived across the street (Normandy Ln.) from us many years ago. Both were kind neighbors, enjoyed their jobs, loved their children and putzed in the yard like the rest of us. We visited a lot during the warm months, but winter months everyone was so busy with work and family. I ran into LuAnn often since we both worked for the State throughout the years that followed. Her passing was painful to read. Today, I'm again saddened to read of Tim's passing so young.
Sending prayers to their adult children and grandchildren for strength in the days ahead and cherished memories of dear parents who loved you very much.
