To Tim's family, my deepest condolences at the loss of Tim. I was a classmate at Washington and we had a class together our senior year. I enjoyed getting to talk to Tim at our last class reunion at Parlor City, he said he was not staying long as he had a gig to get to. Over the years I would often see Tim at various places playing with a band and you could tell how much he enjoyed playing. He would usually say hi to me when they went on break. May your memories help in the days ahead. Nancy (McGregor) Davis

Love Tim! Such a talented player great sense of humor! Played many a gig riding in his van. He will be missed.

OUR SINCERE CONDOLENCES TO MICHELLE AND THE REST OF HIS FAMILY. HE WAS JUST IN THE SHOP WITH THE TRUCK FOR REPAIRS. HE WAS ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO VISIT WITH. HE TRULY WILL BE MISSED

Michelle, Jim and I were so sorry to learn of Tim's passing. He was such a wonderful man and musician! Our love and prayers to you and the entire family!

Condolences to the family. I first met Tim at Area X, later Kirkwood Community College. He was playing in Chicago Oz with Denny Molumby, a fellow student with whom I made a daily trip to the U of IA after we graduated from Kirkwood. I didn't see Tim for a while, but later saw many of his performances over the years, the last being the Night Owls some years ago. We'll all miss him.

Michelle, We are sorry for your lose. We met Tim when he played in the band Austin & Garf. He played bass guitar. They used to come to the PrairieMoon Ballroom in Prairieburg, IA. We have great memory's of Tim, Dan Healy & Richard Freeze. He will be missed by many people.

I remember Tim in high school but did not know him personally . My husband Jim and Tim were friends from grade school. He came once or twice a week to talk with Jim at the shop. I so much enjoyed the visits too. The conversations were funny and entertaining. To the family, you are in my prayers and I am so sorry to hear of his passing.

Prayers to Michelle and the family. My thoughts are with you.

I am so sorry about losing Tim. I'm 94 so I have many family memories. He was the cutest little guy with giggles.. and much loved by all who knew him.RIP

Prayers to Tim's Family and the many Friends he had with all the Bands he played in over the years so many nights spent at Polly's Penthouse back in the day listening to him play and sing with the Brass Unlimited may he RIP what a great person and talent he had we will all miss him

Michelle. Ted, Cathy and family Dave (dada) and I are so saddened to hear about Tim. "GRAMPS" or "GRAMPA TIM" Dave called him. There are so many good memories. Anything you wanted to know. When an event took place. When a song was written. Anything..just ask Tim. I was listening to Denny and Dave talk on the phone last night..reminiscing..eventually some laughs about going to jobs in the van. Sneaking Dave into the backdoor of places to play since he wasn't old enough. Forever a friend..we are so blessed to say we knew and loved Tim Sending prayers your way this morning Dave (dada) and Cindy

Sincere condolences to Tim’s family, he will be greatly missed by the Oscar’s restaurant family~

Kathy and I send our prayers to Tims family. I enjoyed conversations with Tim. He graciously filled in as bassist and vocalist for us. Knew him before he knew me when i was sneaking in to Tuxedo Junction to listen
