Orsello Family -
I had the pleasure to work with both Jim and Tim at Saxon many years ago and enjoyed my time there with the antics of the two of them. Tim had such a great spirit about him. He loved to kid around & pull pranks but never hesitated to help someone out when they needed it. I haven't seen Tim in many years, but reading his obituary, it sounds as if he didn't change. Rest in peace, Tim.

My Memory of Tim:
My forty-four-year-old son Steve called me last night to see if I could watch the kids on Saturday morning so he could attend a funeral for a co-worker. I was stunned to hear it was Tim, one of the guys who worked in the parts department with Steve and answered the phone all the time. I can close my eyes and hear his voice.
Tim: “Parts, this is Tim.”
Me: “Hi Tim, this is Steve's mom.”
Tim (and I always loved this): “Hi Ma! Steve's on a call.”
He always called me Ma. He loved to tease and laugh and I always hoped he would be the one to answer the phone.
Tim was being treated for leukemia and suffered a massive heart attack. He was only forty-eight.
It will be awhile before I call Steve at work again. It will be too hard when Tim doesn't answer.

Dear Orsello Family;
We never had the chance to meet Tim. He sounds like a wonder, wonder husband, father, grandfather, brother, and person. TJ is like a son to me and I have worked with Tom in the selling of his home. If Tim was anything like them, he was an asset to the world. I am very sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Nothing I can say will make your loss easier to bare, except maybe that he no longer suffers. God bless.

Kim & Family -
I was so sad to learn of Tim's passing. I have fond memories of the two of you as high school sweethearts. You were both blessed to find true love so early in life. Tim was a great guy and although I haven't seen either of you in years, I can tell he became a wonderful husband, father and friend. It's obvious, as I read through all the condolences here, that Tim was a friend to many people. He will be greatly missed, but I know you all will cherish the memories you have. You are all in my thoughts and prayers during this most difficult time.

To All The Orsello family...
It has been my honor and priviledge to call Tim "friend" for over 40 years. I have so many great memories of Tim and I know that I don't have the right words to express my gratitude for his friendship or my condolenses to your family.
Please know that he will be missed very much by all of us and that we are thinking and praying for all of the Orsello family.
Mike, Mary, Alysha, Eric and Kaitlin

Dear Jim, Teri and the entire Orsello Family...I had the great honor and pleasure of working with both you Jim and Tim at Saxon for 10 years and again at Tousley for another 8. My words can't express how sorry I am for your loss, Tim was the nicest, sweetest person to work with. I will miss him dearly! You are in my prayers and I find great peace knowing heaven has this great angel now watching over all of us! Love to you all...
July 5, 2012
I remember Tim being the older big brother (I never wanted), always asking the unwanted questions. As Jennifer and I were trying to get away with something, Tim would appear out of nowhere, and ask us what we were up to. Usually we were up to something we shouldn't have been, and sometimes his questioning made us rethink our actions. I am grateful I had Tim in my life and am so sorry for your loss. Remember he will be looking down on you and he may question your actions. Know that he is only looking out for you!
I'll be thinking of you all during this difficult time.

Dear Orsello Family, I offer my deepest condolences to you on this tragic loss. I was so saddened to hear that Tim was diagnosed with this disease, as I myself am more than acquainted with the battle and its devastation. His untimely demise came so quickly, and it made my heart full of sorrow to hear of a young life cut short. I knew Tim through my work with Ford Motor Company. Tim's work at Tousley, one of the top ranked operations in the entire world for Ford Motor Company, resulted in such strong contributions to Ford. He was very respected by his peers and accounts. Above all though, I will remember him for the kindness that he showed me. I'm certain that he has left a loving legacy in the loved ones that he leaves behind. God bless you all. With utmost respect, Nancy Paleka.
