Timmy, your smile could light up a room.  So many memories we shared since 7th grade at Lincoln and then to PHS until your move to Ohio.  It was always wonderful to see you at the PHS reunions. My thoughts are with your family - rest in peace my friend.

So darn sad to hear. Tim was damn sure one of the great guys in the Beta House.
Possibly the fish in the 4 man tank might disagree.

My sincerest condolences to the Gaffney family. My brother, Paul, was best friends with Timmy all through BHS. They had many great times together, and I was blessed to enjoy some of those moments with them. After high school their life journey separated. Now these two, Paul and Tim, both gone way too soon can reconnect in the heavens. My heart goes out to all of you.

So very sorry to learn of your passing. â€œGaffâ€ was a great contributing member of PHS â€˜71 and the Wild Bunch. His general attitude and genuine smile would make the worst of days seem bright. He was always extremely upbeat and a story and a laugh was soon to follow. It was always great to look forward to connecting with Tim at our reunions. May you rest in peace. Be well, my friend. My most sincere condolences to your entire family.

So sad to hear this. Many years have passed since PHS but I remember Tim as a happy go lucky and funny guy.  RIP Tim.  Condolences to his family

Oh my gosh Timmy, way too young!!! I was so sad when you moved to Ohio while we were in high school but at least Iâ€™d get to see you at a lot of reunions. Itâ€™s going to be awhile before I can see that wonderful smile again because I am not ready to go yet. RIP my dear friend till we meet again!!

Timmy, you were one of the nicest guys We ever got to know in high school.  You will be very much missed but you will Never be forgotten. Rest In Peace and with our love!  Linda and Jim Underwood â™¥ï¸â™¥ï¸

As a Little League teammate of Tim and later PHS classmate, he was very engaging and was proud of his military service. My condolences to Timâ€™s entire family.

          Rest easy, my friend. I'll remember the smile and the twinkle in your eye. Mischief may follow, but fun would surely be there. 
        I am happy my Family enjoyed your company and shared your laughter. Many stories to share. We are better for knowing you.

Mount Prospect and PHS'71 misses you Tim.  Enjoyed you coming back for reunions and reminiscing Little League, football-Lions Park, school, etc.  Always a fun time.  Condolences to all the family.  RIP

While I only knew Tim during our time together at Prospect High School, Iâ€™ll always remember him as a gentle soul, quick with a smile and a little mischief up his sleeve. He had a gift of making others feel good in his presence. He was blessed with what I refer to as â€œthe happy geneâ€.  May he find eternal peace.

Rest in piece my dear friend. Knowing you in high school (many great days and nights) and even after you moved to Ohio. It was great always seeing you at all the reunions. Great times spending time with you all those years. I know the Wild Bunch will have a drink in memory of you.

Timmy was one of nicest guys in our class and I always cared greatly for him. He will be missed by so very many but I know he will never be forgotten.  Sending my heartfelt sadness and my sincere sympathy to his loved ones.

I loved the chance to re-connect with you at the reunions! Your smile could light up the room. Rest In Peace now, Tim. You will be missed!
