Our thoughts and prayers are with Tim's
family. I remember Tim as a handsome, young guy, who happened to be the closest in age to me, growing up in the
early, to mid 50's...His mom and dad raised a beautiful family and our prayers are with all of them as well.
Love,
Jim & Mary Affholder, and Adam, Clark & Brock

Myself and two brothers went to St. Bernards in our younger years. My
brother Joe now living in Arlington
WA was a classmate of Tim's. The
story goes that the two of them were
out on the playground and my brother
fell on Tim breaking his arm. Though
I never knew Tim I want to extend by
deeptest sympathy to his family.
