Tim, I was shocked to hear of your passing. But when God calls us home, we cannot say, give me more time. You are in my prayers and masses. Your name has been entered in our book of prayers which we keep on our altar in the chapel. Rest in peace my old friend.

To Carole, Wayne and Pam and all of Tim's Family~~~I am so sorry for your loss. How wonderful, though, that Tim was able to be up and out of the city for 13 years, where he could enjoy the outdoors he loved! May he R.I.P.

I am so sorry about the passing of Tim. I literally just found out today. He was a very special man to all who knew him. I will be praying for you and the family as you go through this time.
