Crissy, Bill and I are so sorry to hear of Tim's passing. We enjoyed being with you both at his favorite Shell parade stop. We always felt welcomed with a smile and a beer.
We loved seeing and talking to him as he exercised and took the little dogs for a walk with him. They looked so much smaller when next to him. He will be missed by many of his friends and neighbors.
We will keep you all in our prayers.
Ursula and Bill Murphy

Crissy & family:

We were deeply shocked and saddened by the sudden death of Tim. We still remember the first time we met Tim and the motor home group during Mardi Gras 2007. He welcomed us with open arms and that simple act led to a great friendship. We have related that first meeting numerous times to others as an example of the goodness of mankind. We always looked forward to our trips to New Orleans to renew our friendship. 

Although there are certainly no words to ease the pain you and your family feel at this time of sorrow, know that Tim will always be as close as a memory.

May the Holy Spirit wrap you wholly and give you comfort as you go thru the grieving process.

Tim was a good person and a good police officer.

 There is a friend worth fighting for,
the type who cares for glory no more.

 The friend who's honest without regret,
who will stand by you and honor protect.

 The friend who's name prompts a smile,
who renders support with every trial.

 No amount of time or miles deflect,
a "Friendship" developed with respect.

 The friend that accepts you as you are,
your values and beliefs will never mar.

 This is the friend worth fighting for,
who's worth o'er shadows riches galore.

 This type of friend is a rare treasure!
To be this "Friend", a reward beyond measure!!
        REST IN PEACE MY FRIEND!
        Cindy & Lew Watermeier

You will be missed by many, my friend and partner.  Chrissy may God give you strength and courage for your journey ahead.  Timmy will be missed by everyone who knew him.
