So sorry to hear about Tim. Became friends with him when he was the ‘Pepsi Guy’ at Sox Park. Great Guy who will be dearly missed. Condolences to the whole family.
My deepest condolences to Lisa. She found her mate in Tim. He was a guy who enjoyed cooking special dishes and knew how to have one heck of a good time! The picture posted, with that smile, is a perfect reflection of Tim. Lisa, I am so sorry for your loss. Thinking of you and sending love. .
Still can’t believe this is true .I am glad we got to see the Cubbies win a World Series !!!!

Tim was a super nice gentleman. Alway’s ready to help if needed. Great husband to Lisa & Very Special Friend to All. Enjoyed visiting the few times when Buzzy & I were in Downers. Will always remember his smile. His arms are around you Lisa holding you tight. Hope Tim, Alece & Grandma Mary are having a beer together – Grandma will be having a Rum & Coke. There is a big party in Heaven for sure. Love You, Buzzy & Emilie
Tim oiled for me for years on a crane. One of the nicest people I’d ever met. Can’t think of a single time he was even in a bad mood. My heart breaks for his family for the loss of this wonderful man. Rest in peace Timmy. See u on the other side
REST IN PEACE TIM!
Tim was a true friend with a heart of gold, always there for people , willing to do anything for them and thinking of others before himself . We shared a love of music and concerts, cars, and baseball which give me lasting wonderful memories. Going to the auto show every year, tailgating at Brewers Cubs , many rock shows all give a reason to smile when thinking of Tim. He was there for me last year when I had my own health scare which will stay with me forever. My deepest condolences to Lisa and his family. Miss you, may you rest in peace.
