My dear friend and past neighbor Katie and family, I have just heard of the very sad news of the loss of my very dear friend and someone if you knew him you were blessed. As you read thru all the loving sayings and thoughts from his friends you will very easily see that he was one of the most gentle, kind, funny, and yes loving individuals you ever had the pleasure of knowing. I am devastated with this sad news! God has taken him way too soon !
In Loving Memory

Dear Katie, Chris, and all the extended family. You have our deepest sympathies over the loss of our dear cousin, Timmy. Ever since we were kids, I sensed Timmy had a most positive strength that carried him throughout the years, even in the face of several significant life challenges/tragedies where he held steadfast in his conviction for family. His deeds and devotion will always be recognized by us and all others. Always with that great smile, which had such a calming effect, and you just knew when you spoke with Tim that he cared about what you were saying. What a terrible loss of a husband, father, son, brother, uncle, great-uncle, nephew, cousin, friend, neighbor, and a co-worker. We are so deeply saddened, but we are also confident that your many great and loving memories will forever be of comfort to you and the family. With love and support, Mary (Rappold) & Chaim Zaks
Katie and Chris,
Our sympathy to you both as you mourn Tim's passing. Kenny and Tommy have many good memories of time spent in Tim's presence as they played with Chris growing up. Now men, they appreciate Tim's patience, kindness and humor more than ever. What a good man he was! We are so very sorry for his loss.
Love, The Barnes family
I'm so sorry to hear about Tim. We worked together for many years and I always looked forward to him checking in with me each Monday so we could talk about what happened on our favorite TV shows. He was kind and had a fantastic sense of humor. He will be greatly missed.
My deepest condolences to the Rappold family.
We would see Tim walking as we rode our bikes or he would be working outside and he was always smiling and always pleasant. We are so sorry for his loss and he will be missed. Jacquie & Mike Zilliox
They say you can't choose your neighbors...I chose Tim & Katie.
I would be outside...Tim would be outside… Katie would be inside wondering where Tim was for so long…
Tim and I would be having one of our "sidewalk/driveway chats".
We would "chat" about, in no particular order: music, weather, ocean, beaches, wine, bald eagles, birds, politics, life, cars, Lowes, home projects, trees, landscaping, football, baseball, current events, interest rates, golf, family, the neighborhood, tools, the moon and stars, TV shows, traveling, vacations, HOA meetings, senior discounts, geese, ducks...but not the bufflehead. :(
Tim was the kind of person you could “chat” with about anything …and we DID!!
Such a kind, wonderful and special man, TIM will most certainly be in my heart.
Love and support to Katie and Family,
Donna
Katie and the entire Rappold family. I was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Daniel who was a co-worker of mine at Lowes. Although I knew Dan only for a few months, it became obvious that he was kind-hearted and willing to help out in any way he could both to customers and employees. He never seemed to get frustrated and remained a calming influence even if the often face paced retail environment.
I wish peace to your family in the knowledge that he was a blessing to all those whose lives he touched including mine.
