It just seemed like yesterday we were busting in the house all 20 of us for Tims 16th birthday party. What a time it was in the 70’s growing up in Conestoga. Tim was a part of my life growing up in Conestoga. I am saddened to hear of his passing.  Bless his sister Kathy and family.

Dan and I were saddened to read this news. Please know that you are all in our prayers during this difficult time. Unfortunately we will be unable to attend the services, but we will be there in spirit.
Strength comes from the wonderful memories that we have of loved ones lost. We are hopeful that the memories you have of Tim will give you strength to move forward.
Blessings to all,
Dan and Eileen Leaman

I’m sorry for your loss. I lived in Conestoga back in the early 70’s while attending Penn Manor High School. I graduated in 1977. I lived in the Poderosa Mobile Home Park. Tim lived across the street from me. We all rode the same school bus. I remember John, Dave, Debbie, Chrissy, Linda & Connie Brubaker …. this was 42 years ago. I now live in North Carolina since 2016. I know Tim might not even remember me but I remember him. Again, I’m sorry for your loss.

I am so very sorry for your loss! I was shocked to read of Tim’s passing this morning. (former neighbor in 1969 at Bright Meadows Trailer park)

Tim was one of those friends that no matter how long the laps in communication between us , the conversation seemed to pick up right where we left off when last we spoke. We had several common interests including poker and horse racing. My wife Lisa and I recently had the pleasure of having dinner with Tim and Jeane at the Final Cut steak house at Hollywood casino. I am so glad that we had the opportunity to share a few hours talking about old times and things we loved to do , R.I.P OLD FRIEND until we meet again….
