I find it difficult to put my feelings for my younger brother Tim into words. "I miss you."  We shared a passion for fishing and hunting thanks to Red. (Dad)  Of the many childhood memories, I'll share a couple.  Tim's attempt to prepare breakfast for himself one morning ended up with a kitchen full of Richfield firemen, resulting in a minor remodel. His Rube Goldberg style of repair still brings a smile. One was affixing a Zebco fishing reel to the dash of his car replacing a broken choke cable.  Tim's high school science project on genetics of mice resulted in a population of all colors of mice living in the basement for months. This didn't make Mary (Mom) very happy.
Thank you Tim for your service to Country and more importantly dedication to your family. Please honor Tim's memory by taking a kid fishing!   I miss you!  Your older brother.   Mike

Tim put the desire to fish in me. Most memorable time is when he had me hide on the floor boards of his pickup to get past surveillance to fish the output pumps at the power plant ,in the smallest boat ever (he had stashed) Best day on the water !!!                        HOW THEY BITTIN' UP THERE !!!

Tim was my  older brother and always a jokester.
 I have many memories of him picking on us younger siblings.
 Re-hiding the Easter Baskets , scaring us at night when we slept in the tent in the backyard. 
He loved to fish and hunt.  I was able to go along, it was fun, even if I was playing the" hunting dog."
 He even took some time to take my sons on these adventures,
I will see you on the other side..❤ someday
Love You .


I don't even know where to begin to express what an amazing big hearted loving funny man my dad was. You could always count on him to make you laugh or to knock some sense into you. He always made sure his girls were provided for. He worked hard so he could play hard. We heard many Grandpa Red stories growing up along with dad showing us a good hard work ethic pays off.  I'll always treasure the memory of him crying at my college graduation and the moment we shared on my (ex)wedding day. Or the times when his "jokes" weren't so funny like when I was in full blown labor with Mikhail and dad is walking me around the hospital telling jokes. I've pulled up his name several times on my phone to text or call and still can't believe he's truly gone. His legacy will live on through all of us that loved him. Till I see you again I love you dad your daughter always - Theresa Marie
  

Tim was my older brother and a U. S. Navy Sailor (a really good one and was qualified in nuclear power - then and now a great accomplishment).  Like my father, Tim had an uncanny ability "to make things work" and usually in an uncoventional way - may I say "Haws rigged"  I admired his passion for hunting and fishing - as any available time he had, he had rod&reel or his shotgun at the ready.  My younger brother Tony went on many peasant hunting adventures with him and somehow Tim made it fun for us even though we were simply his "hunting dogs" on railroad tracks or cornfields.  I will always have Tim's  Navy stories and many great memories of my big brother Tim.

I’m so sorry for the loss of your brother, Gretchen. Thinking of you, your mom and his entire family ❤️

My brother was smart and had a quick wit. He had his own way about life. I will miss him but will always have the memories of our childhood together.

I am so sorry for your lose.  Tim was a great guy and he will be dearly missed.  I still can see Tim when I be driving him to work. We both would be laughing at the comedy channel listening to jokes.
