My deepest condolences to Tim's family.  I can't believe he is gone.  He was our best man in our wedding 28 years ago.  We haven't seen each other in a long time, but we did keep in touch via facebook.  Until we meet again Tim, enjoy the ride!!

I worked with Tim and always looked forward to the chats that we would have through out the night. I will miss his quirky grin when I saw him the next day after parking in front of him the night before and setting off his proximity alert in his truck.  Tonight as I walked past his cube I can still picture him grinning wanting to talk and tell some jokes. I will miss him.

Very Sorry for your loss..
Tim was a great friend and was always in the best of moods!  You couldn’t help but have a great time when he was around!  He will definitely be missed!  ❤️


My office was right next to Tim's. When I switched to 2nd shift, it would only be Tim and I in our office area. He would leave before me and always said "hold the fort down". 
He was a great guy and fun to talk to. I could always hear him getting fired up about something and I'd just smile and shake my head. He was really happy for me when I landed a new job with Xcel Energy. Tim will be missed greatly and I will miss his sense of humor. My condolences to his family. 

Working with Tim was the best. 

He was so knowledgeable,  easy to approach, great sense of humor  and just an extremely nice guy.   It was so fun to get him all fired up about a problem/situation.  We would commiserate and laugh about it after.

There is a huge hole at GD with his passing and his shoes will be difficult to fill.

Condolences to his family, friends and loved ones.

Rest In Peace Tim! <3 
I will miss your jokes, you teasing and picking on me, and fun boat rides. You have the best sense of humor and always could make me laugh! Until we meet again <3  Thank you for all the laughs and all the fun, every time. 

So sorry for your lost, may your soul rest in peace Tim, 
Tim is one of the greatest and nice person  I work with, he will be missed.

So sorry to hear of Tim's passing. Worked with him at GD for years, and always appreciated his helpfulness, quick wit, and drive to "get things done." We will miss him! 

We will remember Tim and his family in our prayers!

May your soul rest in Peace Tim !!,

Boniface Eduputa.

So sorry to hear the news.  I worked on second shift with Tim for quite a few years at General Dynamics. He was a really good guy and we would always ask the other if we were taking Fridays off and then the other one would say he was too. I will miss working with him. 
God Bless him and all.

I worked with Tim at GDMS. He always had a positive attitude and would make the time to help anyone who asked. He will be dearly missed by our team here, he never failed to brighten the day no matter what was going on.

To family and friends of Tim
We as a 'family' would like to share our condolences and prayers with all of you.

Robyn,
Although it's been many years since we last saw each other, I still hold many fond memories of camping trips to Brainerd for the races, hanging out at house parties, and his love of cars. Even had a Sunday dinner with your parents a time or two.
Losing a sibling is always tough, but in a sudden and unexpected way makes it all the more difficult. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this time.


I am so sorry for your loss. He will be greatly missed. I worked with Tim for a number of years at GD. He had a wicked sense of humor. He never failed to give me a good laugh. He was so supportive and a really great person.

Tim is survived by Robyn and Brian Wade, sister and brother in law; Darlene MacPherson, significant other; Charles, Daniel, and Sonya Noyed; nephews and niece; Ripley, Tim’s beloved dog.
