I am not quite sure of what to say. Tim and I were best friends during elementary and high school. We went to the St. Aloysius prom together. Played on the same NORD baseball team for years. Unfortunately, I was not always the friend Tim should have had. Shame on me.
Tim was a great man, respected by all. May one day we will reunite, apologize and become best friends once again.
Rest in Peace Tim.
We are saddened to hear of your family’s loss. You are in our prayers.
Tim was a proud graduate of St. Aloysius class of 1964 and “West Banker.” Our prayers go out to him and his family. Rest In Peace my friend.
Tim was a great guy and a true Crusader who was always smiling and friendly.As everyone else,I liked him a lot.My sympathy and prayers to his family and friends.
On behalf of the Brothers of the Sacred Heart Alumni Association and Brother Martin High School, I offer our prayers and condolences. We will say a Mass in his memory.
Father of all, we pray to you for Tom, all those we love but see no longer. Grant to them eternal rest. Let light perpetual shine upon them. May his soul and the souls of all the departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.

Sadden to hear this. Tim, Aloysius ‘64, was a good friend and great guy. Prayers.
Algiers Point native who was loved by all. Often wondered where Tim and little Sister moved sad to discover this way. God bless your family.
An Algiers boy, Aloysius ‘64. A great guy, always positive, a friend liked by all. Big loss.

Tim was that “big brother” cousin that I always looked up to. His giant smile and welcoming personality always made me feel loved and special.
Eternal rest grant upon him oh Lord, and let the perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and all the souls of the faithfully departed rest in peace.
My condolences go out to the entire family. You can count on my prayers.
Much love,
Sharon
Tim is another one of my special nephews. I’m sure that he is now enjoying the eternal happiness of our Loving Father, with Jesus and Mother Mary, with his own earthly mother and dad, and with his special grandparents, my mother and dad. May Tim rest in love!
Sad to hear. Tim was a fun guy who always made me laugh. Rest in God’s arms.
So saddened to hear of the passing of sweet Tim. He was one on my favorite cousins I remember as a child. He always played with us when we were little and made me laugh. Praying for the family’s comfort and strength during this difficult time.
