I knew Tim through our mutual love for taxidermy, and we spent many long hours discussing it in detail. I somehow convinced him that I was wise or cerebral, lol, but I found Tim to be a thinker, a ponderer. Many phone conversations were dedicated to understanding the latest politics or world events. Then it was back to our beloved taxidermy. Tim and I made planning a trip up to bear hunt a yearly tradition, and sadly we never got around to making that happen. Tim, you left too soon bud.

I’m gonna miss our talks. Tim helped me through a hard time in my life. He was always there to be an ear to listen. He was a straight shooter whether you liked the answer or not. I thank him and Wendy for inviting me in their home. Wendy I’m thankful to have had the opportunity to meet you and had the friendship that I had with Tim. He will be highly missed. Wendy I am sorry for your loss and pray for understanding and peace of mind for the days to come.

I might not have known Tim but I do know Wendy and Wendi is the sweetest most kind person I´ve ever known and I´m sure Tim was the same way. I am so sorry for you Wendy and your family. I hope the days get better faster.

I feel very fortunate that I got to know Tim. I will have so many memories of the 3 or 4 times each year for the past several years that I came over and worked with him in his shop. Tim, Wendy and the rest of the family made me feel I was family. Gods Speed my friend ... I am going to miss so much about you. To Wendy and the family my deepest condolences and prayers. May God hold you all in the palm of his hand and comfort you through this. Love you all.

Tim was always inspiration to me. He always told me what was real and what was best. He always told me that "life is simple, just go do it". I met Tim when I was 8 years old, bass fishing tournament agents him. When i was bit older he mounted my first ducks for me and went on to mount many other things. However the time I spent with mr tim around the shop or on the phone got 3 hours at times. Is something I won´t ever forget. Rest easy my friend!
