Sue, Bryan, Andy and the Timko family, you have my most heartfelt love and comfort for your loss. For 41 years, when I think of music in church, I think of Jim. Thundering organ chords and piano trills will always fill my heart when I think of him. My earliest (and some of my fondest) memories are in the Sacristy, preparing. For the 8 years I was a student at St. John Bosco and the many years after, Jim and my mom made every holiday a beautiful celebration and that's how I imagine his Homecoming is. I picture Jesus hugging him and thanking him for using the gifts God gave him to bring so much joy and fellowship to his congregations over the years. Know that Jim's gift lives on in everyone who heard him play, laugh and tell the best stories. So much love and peace to all of you.
