Tim Landis was my neighbor and friend for 28 years.  He was a true family man and loved his wife and children and extended family dearly.  He also will be fondly remembered in my heart for his love of any and all cats and plants.  He was a friend who extended advice and hope when needed and humor to keep us all going.  The next stray cat that arrives in our neighborhood just might be sent by his spirit.

My heart aches for family and friends that shared his life. I’m grateful for having been best friends during our early years of York academy and millersville. I’ll never forget his guarded excitement upon meeting Linda at one of our last infamous long lane farm gatherings. He always kept his “cool” and confidence during challenging moments.  Gifted with a mind both empirical and creative and an infectious humor he will remain in our hearts and memories forever.

I am deeply saddened with the loss and pain that you Linda and the family are enduring and no words can truly express it.  I am so blessed to have had the windows of “wit and wisdom” from Tim. He made me laugh and feel so confident about my path in life Ashe was so encouraging. His guiding words and responses during very difficult times influenced me to “stay the course”. I hope that all the love and prayers from so many will lift up your hearts. With Tim in HIS corner, Gods got a true fighter to find a cure for Lung Cancer. I believe❤️Kara Rose

What I know of this incredible man, beautifully described here, is that he was father to one of the finest students I have ever had. Kelsey, I am so very sorry for your loss. I know that your great spirit and passion for life will provide you with the strength to move on each day, taking baby steps, as you grieve his passing. I lost my mother when I was about your age, and I continue to feel her presence every day. Please know that it does get easier… Sending you hugs and lots of love.

Tim Landis was my first official friend.  I met him in Lititz in the fall of 1960 on a rainy day when I was four years old.  We learned to play baseball, football, and basketball together.  Learned how to sled and skateboard…even golf as time progressed (He was ALWAYS better than me) We also shared the same interest in music and arts.  He was an excellent artist from a very early age and got me interested in drawing and painting when we were both little.  He was truly gifted with that.  We both experienced the Beatles in 1964 and from that point on, everything was different as far as music was concerned.  We would talk about it and listen to new music constantly throughout our lives.  I was broken-hearted in 1965 when we moved from Lititz to Quakertown PA, and I knew I wouldn’t see him every day.  The day we moved he made me oatmeal cookies and brought them over to our house in a shoebox.  I remember it like it was yesterday.  I missed him like crazy and while we had our disagreements like most friends, we had a bond that only kids can understand.  His parents had a piano and would patiently put up with me hitting the keys (I wouldn’t call it “playing”) when they were eating dinner (can you imagine?) …
 
After my move away we would usually get together in the summer and the winter to visit and sometimes our families would vacation in Maine together.     We did that through the rest of elementary school and high school.  And in the summer of 1971, we had the bright idea to ride from Quakertown all the way to Lititz on bike.  I can’t believe our parents let us do that, but they were probably exhausted with both of us by then.  It was a blast!… Also in that time, he taught me how to shoot a shotgun, rifle, ride and shift a motorcycle and ultimately how to repair my MG which was I was always grateful for because British cars were not known for reliability.  Unfortunately, after high school, we both left for college, careers, marriage, and all the distractions that can eventually pull people apart, eventually causing us to drift apart.  We saw each other sporadically but eventually lost touch until I saw him again in 2001 when he was visiting my town for his daughter’s soccer game.  It was a short visit, but it was like we just picked up where we left off.  Only childhood friends are capable of that.  His wire sculpture was amazing.  His farming and gardening knowledge of peppers and salsa was equally amazing. He was curious about almost everything.  And his love for animals was unconditional.  He saved cats, squirrels, turtles…. you name it.  I was (and will be) eternally grateful for the last conversation we had in September.  True to form he was eternally optimistic and in fighting form. We continued to text until he left us.  I am comforted that we will meet again if he puts a good word in for me up there.  Until then I will miss him and continue to save the neighborhood turtles (which I am known for) in his honor

I only knew Tim as Steve’s little brother. Living near the Lion’s Club playground. My heart goes out to the Landis family. Cancer definitely sucks. Lost our nephew on 12/1. My condolences to all of the family. Huggs.
