Think of you often, Tim, when we look across the fairway. Miss you coming here with your dogs and our giving them treats. You were a dear man, may you rest in peace.

I'm so sorry to hear about Tim. His sister may remember me from back in the 1970's when I knew Tim. One consolation is that I think Tim had a wonderful life. But gone too soon. All my sympathy.

I remember my brother Scott knew Tim from Lick and golfed with him in later years. This goes to Tim' sister Lois, who I knew from the Intl. Hospitality program years ago. I know how very difficult it is to lose a brother, as Scott died in 2012. My heart goes out to you all.

I met Tim when he worked for his father at the Arnstein Carpeto in San Francisco. He and his father helped me when I had my furniture store in San Francisco and San Carlos. What great people they were. Tim became one of my favorite sales people who would make a sales call at my store. My sincere condolences to Tim's family. You were so fortunate to have Tim in your lives, and so was I. I shall pray for Tim in my daily prayers!
