Tim was a very talented guy. I've never seen anyone control a entire room of people like he could. He enjoyed life. It was a honor and pleasure to be associated with him. It's very sad to hear of his passing, he will be missed but never forgotten.

I worked with Tim at Charter Communications. He was truly an inspiration and true go getter. I will miss our talks as well as that Moose bacon he would bring me from his hunts out West. Rest in peace Tim. ~ Art Davenport, Former Sales and Marketing Manager, Madison, WI , Charter Communications.

This hurts. Tim was family - anyone who was a part of Marcus Cable was family. Except Tim was a member of the Cain Marcus family. When we moved HQ to Dallas, all of us who made the trip became a member of the Cain Marcus family. Bill and Mary were terrific...their son Tim was more than terrific...he was a caring, thoughtful and personable man who was the best friend anybody could have. Of course he was good at his job, but my fondest memories were outside of the office...a two iron in his hand 260 from the pin, jabbering nonstop through his swing, leaving a six footer for birdie. Rest easy, Tim.

I was always impressed at the number of layer Tim had in his social/personal background. He was great at his job and knew how to treat people with the respect and kindness that he sought in return. I loved spending time with Tim in the work arena as well as out in the field chasing game. Tim was a very special person who gave so much to others, I will miss him a lot but will always have very warm memories of all the time we spent together over the past 15 years. Peace my friend..
