My condolences to the family, esp. you, Joanie. Tim (my dear Timmy) was good friend from grade school at St. Joe's, LC, through college.  Lost touch after that but never forgot him. What a great blessing to get reunited at the LC 50th yr. class of 72 reunion July 2022! We held court almost nonstop at the river fest, dinner, never missed a beat, picked up as if no time had passed. Continued with close contact after that, several times weekly, either phone and/or text. He loved sharing  great memories of growing up, reminiscing of St. Joe's days, playing in neighborhood, childhood friends/neighbors, "uptown" Amherst. Life at LC with its pros/cons, former teachers/classmates.  Got caught up on life past 50 years, no problem. Families, education, jobs, travels, joys/sorrows of daily life. Picked up on religion, politics, military history esp. Civil War, WWIl, your service, always asked how you were. Sports. Watched FISA soccer, Olympics, baseball together over phone. Rehashed comedy in all its forms. Misc. trivia. Current events. What happened to Rt. 58, the "San" being torn down, sledding down the hill. So much more. Anything, everything.  So very blessed the Providence of God brought us back together at a reunion I wasn't even going to attend. My life has been so much richer, better the past few years because he was a part of it. Always gave me unconditional love/support, more than I was able to give to him although he'd totally disagree. Was very sad when he stopped communicating but have no doubt he's at peace in heaven. I remember him every day, ask him to remember me/all who mourn his loss. Very grateful I have an over 2 year texting thread I can read anytime and have memories to take me the rest of the way. God bless and peace.

Friends. Those special people that God puts into our lives. Someone we are comfortable with. Someone with whom we are not afraid to share our thoughts and hopes, fears and anxieties, joys and sorrows. Because of our friends, our lives are richer, and their impact on us lasts far longer and goes much deeper than we can know. I believe that since I could call Tim my friend, my life has been that much better. I am grateful to have known him, and for the conversations and experiences we were able to share over the past 20 or 25 years. I will miss him much, and pray for him frequently. Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. May his soul, and all the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen. 

I was so sad to hear that Tim had died. He was one of my favorite cousins.  He introduced me to comedy records (Cheech and Chong and Bill Cosby) and was always so fun to hang out with.  I especially remember how much he loved visiting my grandma and grandpa Flannery at their farm near Lebanon and the good times we had during those visits. May his memory be a blessing.  

With love,

Cousin Susan Andrews

My dear lifetime friends, I will always remember Tim’s sideways smile and how much he loved to laugh at his own jokes! Then shrug his shoulders and walk off.  Life was his stage. Love and hugs yo all of you

I am so sorry for your loss.  Tim had a wonderful faith in God, and he had many loving memories of times spent with his family. I enjoyed spending time with him; we discussed sports, religion, and even politics.  My wife and I will miss his stories and his outgoing personality! 

I'm so sorry for the loss of Tim.  We were very. lose in high school. One of my favorite memories was he and I driving around Holland, Michigan in his black VW Beatle. I was working at an art camp in Saugatuck where Tony Smulskis had gotten me a summer gig. Tim had come up to see me. It was a tiny town with no stop lights and no one drove more than a few miles per hour.  His brakes went out and we kept driving around using the shifter and the hand brake to stop when needed and laughing a lot.  He used to show up at our house in Avon Lake around dinner time at what seemed like every time my Mom made liver and onions which he loved. He also kept trying to get my Mom to drink more champagne at our wedding reception. She laughed about it for years. Rest in peace Tim ❤️

The last time I saw Tim was May of 24.  We were passing through and Sue and I stopped and took him out to lunch.  I was so glad to have that special time with him.  I will always cherish the good memories we all have.  Rest in Peace my Brother.
