Tim, I miss you big time buddy. I am so sorry I didn't get to talk to you the last time when on facebook i said your new picture looks good, but Tim said he was on oxygen 24/7 and not doing well. I was going to call, but ran out of time. Joanne and i both chatted with tim regularly on facebook, but between his medical problems and my multiple sclerosis, and kidney issues w nevr could get togrther. Hell, I told tim, I only get out for doctors appointments. All the good times we had over the years can't be put into words. Lindsey fest on the river had to be one of the best times for me and joanne in our life. What a weekend, fishing, hunting, drinking, etc, etc, eating that huge flathead catfish, and all the buddies were there to enjoy. Looking at all these pictures kim has put up, I know I have a lot of pictures from linseyfest. i just have to find them. I have a plaque on my wall still today from tim, who snt it to me when i was in chicago and I was in fishing facts magazine. It is a classic I treasure to this day, plus many letters we wrote each other back then. Tim could always make you smile and was the best storyteller I ever knew. Tim has already negotiated some deals in heaven, no doubt. I will try and find those pictures, and God bless Tim, Sandra, Kim, and Lindsey. keith & joanne kowalis

Tim had a phenomenal ability to reach out to me when I needed someone to talk to the most. He sensed these things. He had something to say about any scenario u could think of. I look back at all the little things that he said and realize now, how profound it was. I think Tim lived a good life and had some great adventures judging by his stories. He was a free bird. A rolling stone. He truly cared about people and was as real as one could be. You will always be on my mind. Say hello to my mom and the rest of my loved ones up. Say hello to heaven. Give Addi bear some love too. My main man, my friend, my bro. I love you.

Oh Tim !! This came as a surprise to me. I am so saddened by the news, but know you are happy and free now with the Lord and your loved ones that have passed . We had been texting about another reunion in Peoria this year with all the old gang and had been reminiscing about the old days at Jubilee State park. We had soooo much fun and not a care in the world. You and the memories will ALWAYS live in my .. RIP my ole dear friend ! I will miss you !!!!!!!!!!

I had the opportunity to visit two weeks before Tim passed. Even tho Tim and I divorced 8 years ago, we still remained friends, good friends. His lovely wife Sandra and he invited me over for dinner and cocktails twice. One of those times, our good friend Patti Shoopman came who we´ve known for more than 40 yrs. We had a wonderful visit, laughed, cried. I´m so glad Sandra and Tim invited me over, I even tested out his new recliner Lindsey, Sandra and I got him for Christmas. RIP Tim
