Dear Norma Jean, this was very sad news up here in Vermont. There are people you meet in life who will always stay in our memories, and Tim is definitely one of those people, as are you. There was never a dull moment at work! I assure you that the kids from Gifford will never forget Tim.

I was so sad when I heard of Timmy's passing..He was a classmate of mine at Dannemora and was our endearing Class Clown, always finding the humor in everything. Over the last few years we had become friends on Facebook, reminesing about all the fun we had growing up in Dannemora..I can only imagine your grief at losing such a wonderful Husband, Dad and Grandpa. Know that he talked about how great his family was and how much he loved them all the time..He will truly be missed.

My sincerest thoughts and heartache for Norma Jean, Michael, Katie, Jordan and the rest of the family. Tim was, and always will be, a true and genuinely amazing person to have known. He was always so warm and welcoming and loving. The world will never be as great as it was with Tim's shining light.

Norma Jean and family: Kevin and are so shocked and saddened to learn of Tim's passing. We think of you two so often, especially the wonderful, fun times we had when we played in our Murder Mystery dinner parties. Tim was such a fun, loving guy -- we are truly blessed to have known him.

I trained Tim aboard the Oriskany to be an O.R tech--he subsequently worked in the O.R. with me at what is now the University of Vermont Medical Center. His life force took him elsewhere, but I will never forget his enthusiasm and joy de vivre that escorted the two of us through Vietnam, Hong Kong, Subic Bay, and Japan. My friend--may you rest in peace.

Tim- I will always remember you and the time I was in Vermont at 8 months with my baby boy- you were such a host- such a gentleman- you were a compassionate caring man and the three "I" s come to mind so often when I think of you- a man of integrity , an intellectual, and a man that was so inspirational to so many around him- Tim, I knew you as a brother in law for a short time - I knew you as a friend I wish I gotten more time to know you longer as a friend - it's obvious what kind of father you were -and a husband too- and thanks for being Stephens best uncle -RIP

Though not acquainted with Tim's own family, I have known Tim and Tommy John for most of their lives, and met Terry in recent years. I understand what is is like to lose a loved one, and I wish you the understanding and strength to deal with Tim's passing. Though we will miss his presence, memories of him and his spirit will love on.

Message from Burlington Vermont

My name is John Wagner,formerly a brother-in-law when he was married to Valerie Wagner,I always thought Tim was cheery,energetic and full of life.One of the memories of Tim that has always made me laugh was one time when my Mom and I were watching TV,Tim had spent many days working on his tan and was quite proud of his tan He.wanted to show it off.So Tim is in front of the TV with his back to my Mom and I....now what Tim MEANT TO DO was to peel back a little part of his shorts to show us his tan,but in Tim's excitement he peeled back both shorts and undershorts (exposing his buttocks) and says "Hey Marie..what do you think of my tan" The look on my Mom's face was a little shocking.I,myself could not stop laughing
Tim was a wonderful man,He was always a good friend even though he was divorced from Valerie. One of the good things is I was able to see what a wonderful father he was and continued to be right to the time of his deathI will truley miss him and the energy by which he lived life..I love you Tim
