I first met Tim in the summer of 72, i was 8 years old and Tim and by brother Alex were taking tennis lessons at Ray Park. He lived in New York at the time and was visiting his grandpa who lived on Easton Drive hear in Burlingame. From that day forward we have been friends and never lost touch.There are so many memories i have of Tim including basketball games, midnight tennis and Washington Park at our high school we attended BHS, I remember spending time with Tim at Erics house with Alex, Virgil, Fitz, Matt. why this loss is very hard for me is because what a great friend he was, and how thoughtful he would always remember the little things for example- i am russian and i taught Tim a few russian phrases as kids,about a month he mentioned those phrases and i was amazed he remembered.This is by far the hardest loss for me and i loved him like my brother.
To Susan, our deepest sympathy to you and the entire Cerutti family, God Bless You
To Carol, Sue, Trevor and Taylor God Bless and remember Tim was the greatest Son, Brother ,Uncle, Husband and Friend .
I'll miss him greatly.
see ya on the other side my brother.

Tim and I shared some special times in early highschool. Even though we lost contact many years ago, I feel a very deep sense of loss. I will forever treasure the times we shared during our teenage years. For Tim's family, I hope and pray for God's healing grace during this very difficult time. Tim, thanks for all the special memories. You hold a special place in my heart, as you always have.

Susan,
Words can't express how much my heart hurts for you, your family and the Connor family. Tim was a light in your life and to so many others. You are like a sister to me and I felt like Tim was like a brother in law. He always made me feel welcome when I came to visit. I am truly sorry for your loss. May God bless you and surround you with angels. One of those angels is Tim. He will always be with you. Tim..may you rest in peace.

Just want to share a story about Tim. He was a great neighbor and he would always come over and play some hoops with me. If I was playing hockey he would say "Hey you need to play some hoops" and he would have his basketball already in hand.

I'm really gonna miss you Tim.
2 points forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tim was like the brother I never had growing up. He was my best friend for many years after he had moved out here from New York. Although through the years our lives went in different directions, I'll never forget the special times we shared. Tim was a "Good Man". God Bless His family and many friends at this very sad and difficult time. God Bless you my Brother.

The thing I remember most about Tim was his beautiful smile, easy going personality, and big heart. Tim had such a zest for life and an appreciation for the beauty in nature. You couldn't help but feel good when Tim was around. He made this world a much brighter place and for that he will be greatly missed. My heartfelt condolences to Susan and her family.

I find myself at a loss for words and very, very saddened and heavy hearted by this news. My stomach aches and is ill as I attempt to digest this grusome and senseless happening. I had the good fortune of being allowed to room with Timmy and Suzanne years back in a 'lil apartment in Burlingame. A wonderful caring family who took me in during a challenged point and time of my youth. It was clear to see early on that this was a special family who deeply cared for each other. Tim was a very responsible guy being a good and faithful son to his mother and caring brother to his sister, both of whom he loved dearly. Although our time was much too brief, I will never forget our times together. Suzanne and Carol, if you happen to read this know that I hold you both in my thoughts and prayers, you have my most sincere condolences. I happen to be in Kauai with my wife and kids otherwise I would most certainly be attending the gatherings this week. Much love to you both, Chuck Bona

To Tims' wife and family, I am so sorry for your loss. I wish I could just give you a hug because that says it all much better. For those of you who do not know me I am Matt Midyetts' little brother. Tim and Matt go back to 7th grade together so I have known Tim almost my whole life. He was one of Matt’s few friends’ kind enough not to tease me as much as Matt did and chose to always make me laugh instead. He was loved by my entire family and was considered with out a doubt a family member. I have not seen such a loss in my brothers’ eyes and heard his heart scream so loud since my mother passed and I know this would have bothered Tim, he was more about enlightening our lives and his sense of humor was one of his many ways he did so. His last action was always the way I saw him, as a hero. I am sorry I will not be able to travel with Matt to pay my respect to Tim and all of you. Please know I will be praying for him and to him for the rest of my life.

My deepest sympathy to Susan and Timmy's family. My heart breaks for you all. Timmy was genuinely one of the kindest, generous, sweetest, big hearted human beings we have ever had the pleasure of knowing. A beautiful smile graced his face EVERY time you saw him. Just passing him on his route brightened your day as he flashed that beautiful smile and gave you a wave. A true gentleman in every sense of the word. His presense made this world a better place. Susan, reach deeply into your heart and soul for Timmy's love and strength. Lean on those around you and hold those doggies close, one day at a time, one foot in front of the other.Our thoughts are with you.

February 16, 2009

Our hearts go out to Susan and family. We are still in shock about this tragic loss as we just saw Susan and Tim in PV. We'll never forget his sense of humor, warm smile and the sparkle in his eye, not to mention how happy he and Susan were together. We are sending our love. May Tim rest in peace.
Love,
Julie & Matt

Tim was a beacon of light among our circle of friends growing up in Burlingame, his enthusiasm and zest for life showed in his smile and his eyes and it rubbed off on those around him, I can see that it never waned in the many years since I last saw my friend, to say that we all looked up to him would be an understatement.
We can all only hope to meet as many souls like his in our lives.
I will miss you Tim, until we meet again, Godspeed brother

Tim,

Well my time with you was cut way too short. I guess we will never know if Paige would have let me come to Costa Rica with you this year, but i enjoy the thought that you would want to include me in the trip anyway. You were so happy, and I felt in the short time that I knew you that you and I had a real connection. We share so many common interests and got on so well. You will be sorely missed.

Susan,

I am deeply sorry for your loss and cannot begin to imagine your pain. I have felt a bit selfish about the way i have felt about my loss of Tim but realize that my loss is no less significant than yours, albeit much much different. I want you to know that we are here for you and want to assisst in anyway that we can.

A nite out in Long Beach, NY :)

My name is Lori Calise, Tim's cousin from New York. Alot of the younger members of my family (including myself) re-connected with Tim when he and his family were here last summer for ironically enough, our cousin Tim McDonough's wedding. We fell in love with Tim as soon as we met him (again :), as I am sure the older members of our family can understand :) I was fortunate enough to have had a nite out on the town with Tim in Long Beach, NY, along with some other family members, when he came back to NY to visit after the wedding. It now remains a night I will never forget. There were future plans in the works where we would have seen him again and made many a more memory. That is what I will miss. The chance to bond further with a man many of you have known and loved for years. I can see why you consider yourselves lucky to have had him in your life. To his wife and immediate family, my sincerest condolences. God Bless.

I am still numb and my heart heavy that Tim is no longer with us. Susan and I have been friends for over 15yrs and I remember the day they met - they were truly meant to be together. I cherish the times we all have speant together and Tim is known as the 'Donald Duck' to my kids as well. Chris will miss going for Harley rides with Tim and the many parties and dinners we shared. Susan, I love you and will be here for you......whatever and whenever you need us.
