His headstone at Omaha National Cemetery 

I found out my best friend passed away a year ago today Rest In Peace my friend 

I wanted to add one more memory of Tim when I enlisted in the navy back in 1972 Tim came to the airport to see me off a true friend indeed 

Marcia I remember at lunchtime you speaking of Tim and all the things he did and could fix, and I could tell then he was a hard worker and you valued him as a husband.

Marsha, Chris - We are so very sorry that we missed Tim's Funeral.  Being Tim's step uncle was a joke between the two of us growing up.  We are only two years apart so we grew up together.  He was the city kid living Omaha and I was the country boy living in Charter Oak.  I always thought he had way cooler toys to play with and he always thought I had was cooler places to play at.  
Over the years we had kind of gone our separate ways.  It is a family thing.  I had resolved to get together next trip from PA to Omaha, but we have not been back for over two years- This summer we hope to get back.  
Although missed I take comfort in knowing he is resting in the Lord.  No pain, no sickness and all of his questions have been answered.  Ours and your pain is great at his loss, but there is hope in the future for all of us.  We just await that glorious day when all the family of God will be together.

Marcia and Chris , we are so sad to hear of the passing of Tim. .
Unfortunately it has been too many years not keeping in touch. It was always nice to hear how the family was doing when Chris was working at Walgrens .
Please know that you were in our thoughts all those years. Tim was a conscientious worker and seemed to always love his work and was a dedicated father. We send our deepest sympathy .
Marge and Paul Welsch

Marcia & Chris
Sincerest sympathy during this time of grief and Tim’s passing!  God assures us of His love and care and reminds us that for everything there is a season! You will be in my prayers  now and in the days ahead.
Sincerely,
Duane Iwen

Tim was truly a nice guy. I knew him from Benson and always enjoyed catching up with him at reunions. 

i hung out with tim in the early 70's worked together, played softball together etc. we had a lot of great memories together rest in peace my friend

Tim was a valued member of our Hand of Hope Omaha mission trips for more than 12 years.  He painted and stained in many homes, buildings and churches that we were rebuilding.  We had many laughs on our trips.  I recall that Tim was always particular about the quality products and tools he used in his craft.  One time in New Orleans he painted an 18-foot-high wall in the Lower Ninth Ward Community Center.  We had been helping them rebuild in 2010 after Hurricane Katrina had hit in 2007.  He wanted his work to be just right as the wall was going to be used for projecting the Super Bowl game that their team was playing in.  So happy I could call Tim a friend.

We are so very sorry.  We enjoyed working along side Tim at KOK in the kitchen!  He was also an amazing blessing to our family with his painting skills when we needed to get our mom's home ready to sell.  You are all in our prayers!  

I met Tim at a Saturday Bible study and found a friend. I always looked forward to our conversations and regret not meeting up more often. Tim was a good man who cared for others and a believer in Christ. He is missed. 

Tim , was a good friend that I new fromm Benson High. I am convinced that I will see him in Heaven. He was a believer in Jesus Christ and believed the bible was true.

Heaven gained a good one with Tim. We are so sorry for your loss and are praying for the family. It was awesome getting to know Tim and work with him on our mission trips. He is the one who taught me how to paint, how to correctly paint. Jan Hinrichsen
