Dogfather to Nuschler, his canine son and the world's most loyal dog. Graduate of Jesuit High School and member of Santa Clara University class of 2000. Outstanding athlete and avid sports fan, particularly the Giants and a frustrated 49ers' season ticket holder. A loyal, selfless, and faithful friend, he left a mark literally and figuratively with those he loved, like his uncle and Godfather John Albanese, with an Italian" happy to see you" punch to the gut. Lover of all things Italian, especially Sinatra, the Godfather trilogy, his grandmother Rose's cooking, and creator of his own life-changing polpette omelet. His dry, cool wit kept you on your toes. Special thanks to the Nelson family of companies for treating Tim like family, especially Melissa, and to the staff of the Cardiac ICU at UCSF for their incredible loving care. The world was a better place because of Tim, and he will be greatly missed by all that had the great fortune to know him.
