My Condolences to all of Tims Family Tim was truly a great Friend We will miss him alot.
I have been blessed to work with Tim for 14 years. He was kind, caring, respectful, and gracious. We had to have many difficult conversations. He always ended his conversations thanking me. That is a rare trait. His last day in the plant was a very emotional one. It was hard for him to leave the job and people that he loved so much. I wish for family and friends much healing. He spoke of you often. His caring kindness would not want you to hurt. God bless.
Tim was a wonderful man that was so caring and thoughtful. I was so honored to have him as a friend and classmate (GHS Class of 1978). RIP my friend!
I was so sad to hear about Tim. My prayers will be with Tim’s family during this difficult time. Tim was a good person and will be missed. God bless!
He will be missed by his karaoke friends and family
