My condolences to the entire McDonald family. I just learned of Tim's death yesterday. To Jeanne, I want to say it was so nice meeting you and seeing Tim again just a few weeks ago while taking a hike around Trout Pond in Wrentham. I was looking forward to another chance meetup there. May God's peace be with you all.

My condolences to Tim's family for their loss. I am saddened to know my cousin Tim has died, moreso that he died so young. Being unable to get to his funeral in time from California, I at least wanted to let his family know how much I recall fond memories of Tim from my childhood growing up in Franklin from chance discussions here and there, at family gatherings and at his parents' house when I stopped by with my father to visit. I showed my boys some pictures of Tim, one with his parents, Tim with a kind look in his eyes, and let them know of the passing of their good-hearted cousin.

Youthful memories of sliding down Beaver Hill on a snowy winter's day, skating on local ponds, baseball games, toast and the funnies at A.A.'s and Honks on Sunday morning (only purple gum drops), and playing jacks on the kitchen floor on 333 Lincoln Street...Tim, Stephen and me...where did the time go?
Wesley and I send our condolences.

I'm sorry to hear about Tim's passing. I worked with Tim at BSCC for about 10 years. Tim was a class act, always a good friend, as well as a great co-worker. I remember working the Yard or the 1st floor Housing Unit and visiting Tim in the gym. He always appreciated a visit from myself to break a rather boring day. Tim always treated everyone with respect and everyone treated him the same. I haven't seen him since 2006 when I retired. I can't be there in person to see him for the last time, but he'll always be in my heart. Rest in peace my friend.
