Dear Julie,
Tim was a wonderful friend and terrific public servant who gave so much to the City of Worcester. It is with a great deal of sorrow that I extend my sympathy and prayers. I remember him for his quick wit, warm smile, and honorable character. Rest in peace, my friend.

Dear Julie
We are deeply sorry to hear of Tim's passing. John and I enjoyed our over
the fence conversations. It was obvious to us that he was a kind and gentle man. Also, what we saw was such love and devotion between you both. John still quotes to me "Yes Dear" ever since Tim said with a smile "it's a secret to a happy marriage".
Just shout over the fence if you need
anything.

Julie I am so sorry to hear the passing of Tim. I am writing this message with tears falling. I didn't know Tim that well but felt we did at one time have a close relationship and knew the love you both had for each other. I would love it if we could get together again. David also sends his love and sympathy.
