I was close to Tim for about two years when we both worked at the National Safety Council. He was, truthfully, one of the best men I've ever met in my life. He was hilarious, thoughtful, deep, caring and just, absolutely wonderful. Though we hadn't spoken in years, I was lucky enough to go to lunch with him probably shortly before he died. I'm beyond sad to belatedly hear of his passing. I'm wishing his family continued strength during this very trying time without him. He will defintely be missed by many. I, too, was a better person for having known him. God bless.

Tim - Sometimes you feel so close......sometimes you are so far away.  Have a laugh with Danny for me. I think about you guys all the time.

When Tim and I first met, there was an instant connection, we were best friends. I will cherish the years of laughter and tears we shared forever. You made everyone around you a better person, and you always said don't sweat the small stuff in life just enjoy being here. You cared for people so deeply, and I know how much you loved Tammy, your sons and your whole family. Heaven gained an angel and I know your watching over us. I think of you everyday, and I miss you dearly. I love you kid:-)

I did not know Tim. I only met him once but I am sure he was a wonderful person. I want to let Tammy and her family know that I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

You inspired me to be a better person. You made me slow down and take a better look at things. You carried me through such sorrow and gave me some of the best laughter I've ever had or ever will again. You were the greatest husband and father; always putting us ahead of yourself. I couldn't have asked for a better partner in this life and will always appreciate the time we had together. You are in my thoughts constantly and I will love and miss you always.

I used to work with Tim at the National Safety Counsel. He not only was great to work with, he was just an all around nice guy.  He made me laugh on many occations and I will always have nice memories.  My prayers are with your family during this difficult time.

I am so sorry to hear of Tim's passing and send my thoughts and prayers to his family.  I worked with Tim over 20 years ago at the National Safefy Council and still remember what a smart, talented, and overall great guy he was.  He always had a positive outlook and made us laugh.  We will always remember him.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Kennedy family during this difficult time.

I worked with Tim at National Safety Council He was a genuine nice guy my prayers are with you and your family

I will truly miss Tim as a colleague at Camp Warren Jyrch, as a competitor in the business, but more importantly, as a friend.  We shared many stories about his experiences with adoptions and I will never foget how grateful he was to be a father and have a family.  He inspired me; I will always remember him for that.

I will truly miss Tim's good hearted nature, kindness, and humor that made him so special.  He will forever live in my memories and heart.  God bless Tim's family and may they find comfort in and treasure the  memories Tim provided to all.  He will be fondly remembered and forever loved.

My heart is so saddened by Tim's passing but so greatful for having known him.  I worked with Tim for many years at the National Safety Council.  I can't tell you how many times he made me laugh. He was such a great guy. To his family, I am so sorry for your loss.

I had the pleasure of knowing Tim through the Hemophilia community.  He had a positive influence on us all.  His friendship and kindness will be missed, but never forgotten.

From a life long friend:"Solders in the "Blood Brotherhood" - May God Bless You and provide you with his love  & inner peace!

I had the honor and pleasure of working with Tim at the National Safety Council.  I especially enjoyed his quick wit.  I was always impressed by the way he never allowed his ability to see the humor in situtations and in people to override his kind heart.

He was a rare and wonderful man.
