All Condolences -
This is way too late, but I knew Tim well when he lived in Erie and we both worked at the Barber Center. He had a great personality, Irish wit and befriended clientele and employees. Tim and I communicated later on, while working for our respective county government organizations. He no doubt is holding court in heaven. RIP, Tim.

To Tim's family and friends. I knew him as a basketball referee in Hawaii. I did not know him very well, but we talked and had lunch. I enjoyed his company, and thought him to be a gentleman. My sincere condolences to all of you.

To my great friend of more than forty years, I want to thank you for all the fun and laughter we shared, through good times and bad. You were one in a million, Tim and I am glad that our paths crossed all those years ago at the G.A. Barber Center in Erie. I'm happy that our families remained close through the years - we consider the Ryans "family" and love you all. I know that you & Kathy are so proud of your "girls", as you should be. They have grown into wonderful, caring, beautiful young women - a testament to your love. We grieve for their loss and ours, and your brother, Jim, Auntie, and all who know & love you. We will continue to look out for each other. Miss you already and I am finding it hard to imagine a world without your lively self in it. Carl, Kate, Sarah & Sean and I will remember you always. Rest easy, Tim. No more worries. Go Bills! (Steelers, too, even though you were never a fan...but, I know you respect loyalty.) Love ya!

Tim had reached out to me as a cousin of my mom, Kathleen Maitland (McCoy). I had hoped to go visit and meet him one day, and now that time has passed... My condolences to his family, which are also an extension of mine! I'm so sorry for your loss. His passing is eerily close to that of my mom's (Sept 12, 2002).
