Shocking and very, very sad news to learn about Tim's passing away. I worked with Tim in New Castle for 13 years before retiring and returning to Sweden. Tim was always positive, listening and said his opinion which brought things forward. My and Elisabeth´s thoughts go to his family.

I´m so sorry. I´ll never forget the time in New Lisbon he rode his little motor scooter into my yard and around to the side of the porch where Frankie and I were sitting. He said he saw a sheriff deputy and didn´t want to get in trouble.

Tim had a great, quick wit; he was funny without trying to be. Tim always made us feel welcome. He loved his family with every ounce of who he was; it was always about Debbie and Addie. He will be missed by so many.

Tim was always so good to me. He was the person who helped me attain an internship during college and taught me many things during that time. I had the pleasure work with him for some time as well. Such a kind, funny, and thoughtful person. I am saddened and sorry for the the loss and am thinking of his family during this time.
