Tim, the Tuna, Williams was one of my best and closest friends... and will always be.His smile and sense of humor were his greatest attractions whether to friends or strangers who he greated at the Big Apple counter.He could always be trusted and revered by all. I have always remembered the help given to me from him and Bonnie during a serious illness which I underwent in 2002-2004.I only learned about this today and am so disappointed that I cannot pay my great respects to him until I learned today by wondering why I had not spoken to him in my recent calls.I shall miss him more than anyone might ever know...my best to Bonnie...and may all share my forever visions of enjoying the indoors and outdoors with Tim and oh what fun that we always had...Hang in there Big Guy...Alex

There will never be another Tim Williams.
With a smile as wide as the Dakota skies, he drew you in and you knew it would be a good day, a good hunt, or a great time. No pretenses, you didn't have to be as accomplished as he was.
Spending time with Tim & Bonnie was one of the best chapters of my life. What a privilege and blessing to have known Tim.
We have surely lost a great one. May his memory live on and on.

To me, Tim was always larger than life. He was the first of my husband's friends I met. He made me feel so welcome right from the start. Both he & Bonnie readily gathered others into their circle of good people. My husband (Nebs) & I could always count on Tim for a good story, joke, or prank. And that great Tim laugh was something we loved to hear. We miss you, Tim.
