Tim was a softspoken wonderful Young at Heart man that was a joy to be around. I will remember his humor, laugh and smile and hold him as the intelligent kind person everyone Loved. To his Family I give my Sincere sympathy and the thought that I too thought he was Special. Rest in Peace my Brother.
Tim and I worked at Dupont in Seaford, DE 1961 to 1966. We then went in the Army and basic training together. We both served in Cam Rahn Bay,Viet Nam 1966 to 1967. Later years Tim and Carol,
Nancy and I traveled to Paris France. We remained friends to the end. Tim was a
great guy.
Carol, Tim's wife and I taught at Seaford School while our husbands were in Vietnam. We remained friends from the 60's until they passed. Two of the nicest people we have ever known. It has been a great honor to have Tim & Carol as our old friends.
Carol and Tim played such a key part in the lives of so many. Kind, gentle and giving-- they helped so many and in so many different ways.
When I think about Tim, I think about his fishing on the pontoon boat, his reading the paper on the porch in the early morning, and of trying different restaurants in so many different cities. Quiet and strong, Tim could be counted on to help out . A wise adviser and a caring friend-- Tim asked for little from others and gave generously of his time and expertise. No friend built a house, remodeled a kitchen or bought a car without checking in with him.
I am grateful for the times with Tim and with Carol and Tim and keenly feel the loss of such a good man.
So sorry to hear of Tim's passing. We were privileged to call him a friend & neighbor! We will miss him greatly & wish his family our deepest sympathy!
SORRY TO HEAR OF YOUR PASSING.
HAVEN't HEARD OR SEEN YOU SINSE YOU RETIRED AND MOVED SOUTH NEAR THE BEACH.
BEST REGARDS,
