Our deepest sympathy to the family after such a tragic loss. Chelsea, we are so sorry. Your father worked with my husband years ago and we both thought a lot of him. You are so lucky to have had such a great father - even if for a short time. You have always been the apple of his eye. Your dad had wonderful character. He had a kind heart and a gentle soul. You need to carry that with you always. God Bless.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief. I remember every time passing Tim in the hall at Linden he always had the biggest smile on his face. I remember at our 20th Class reunion last year him standing up and talking about how proud he was of his daughter. I just scrap booked with Bonnie a few months back and we talked about how good of a father and family man Tim was. My thoughts and prayer are with your family.

Mr. & Mrs Berry and Family...Today when I picked up the paper to read it and turned to the obits...I became numb. Tim and I were very,very close friends. He lived around the corner from me in Lodi. He cooked wonderful meals for my sons and I and Tim and Chelsea would join us. Tim was such a wonderful person...I felt as if he was the brother that I never had. I met you once Mr. Berry....remember you showed my sons how LOUD your truck stereo would go? We laughed so hard at the expressions on the boys faces. Tim called me on the 18th, just the day before his birthday...We chatted quite awhile about life, kids, work, and whatever else fancied us. We made arrangements to have lunch...he was so anxious for me to see him after he lost so much weight. Now I have to see him in a most heartbreaking way. Chelsea, you stay strong and keep up the good work in school. You know that Dad will be watching you, make him happy. Chelsea, Dustin and Dalton send a hug to you. Maybe in heaven Tim can catch more fish than me!!! God Bless you and your family and my prayers are with you.
