Thank you Uncle Timmy for being you. You made a difference and many lives and made people feel welcome.

Condolences to the family. Uncle Timmy will be greatly missed.  Sad we’ve lost touch over the years. 
Sorry I could not attend, I am currently in Erlanger.   Prayers to the family.  God bless. 

Tim is someone that will always be remembered fondly. For years to come I will have wonderful stories to share of his kindness, thoughtfulness, and goodness. I can’t even remember when we met, because instantly he made you feel like family. Knowing Tim was having an added blessing in your life. Uncle Timmy, you will be missed. 
Prayers and thoughts to Linda, Brandy, and Family. 


We met in August 1976(!) at the Mansion Hill Apts., where our families first lived when we all moved to Chattanooga. We became friends almost immediately and you kept Vanessa a few weeks later when Brian was born. Timmy shared our SciFi love and, since he was the first guy in the neighborhood to have a device that showed real movies on a home TV, Timmy introduced us to the Rocky Horror Picture Show one memorable afternoon at your house. We treasure Chanukah memories of Potato Pancake dinners at our house with you guys, when the kids lit the mini candles in each of their mini menorahs, we ate too much and had a wonderful time just being together. We love the Bolgeos and will miss you, Timmy. 

Uncle Timmy was a convention friend and email buddy. I have missed the Revenge this past year, and I will miss Tim's wit and wisdom. My condolences to Linda, Brandy, and his family and friends.

Remembering Tim from our days at Sequoyah Nuclear Plant. I had the pleasure of talking with him a few months ago as I was visiting a friend at  the healthcare facility. He also remembered me from many, many years ago. His family is in my thoughts and prayers.  --Carolyn

Thank you Uncle Timmy for your love of life, science, fiction and fantasy.  You have helped make the world a better place. 

My company is a vendor to TVA and I worked with Tim for many years on electrical projects. He always demanded excellence and performance for TVA but he was always fair minded. I enjoyed working with him, learning from him,  and consider him a friend. I am very sorry to the family for your loss. He was a good guy. He will be missed. I pray for strength for your family during this difficult time. 

Timmy was a good friend. He encouraged me to become a member of Chattacon's board and with his guidance I learned to be a good head of the Huxter/Dealers room. He gave me the idea to suggest early regeneration's for the next  years convention that I proposed and it was a success from that point forward, now a lot of conventions do it. I will always remember that he always gave good council and looked out for his friends. I will miss him but know that he is with the lord even as I type this. I know I will see him again some day. He was a good brother from another mother to me. 

There is no way I could pick a single memory of such a man as Timmy to share. He was there as a friend for me and a mentor starting at a long ago chatta-con... nicknamed me "Nurse Goodbody" which graced several Con Shirts and warned me when I didn't listen. Don't we all not listen? But thanks anyway! :)  He will be dearly missed.

No one can say anything bad about this wonderful man. Loved him like a brother.
I still have not grasp that he is gone. My prayers and thoughts go out to this beautiful family.
May God shine His light on them and give them peace.
As His word says:
Peace I leave with you.
My peace I give you.
Do not let your heart be troubled
And do not let them be afraid.

I met Uncle Tim a number of years ago at Liberty Con 25 or 26.  We got to chatting (huge surprise with Uncle Tim) and realized we were both AF veterans, so we sat and exchanged war stories and talked science fiction for a while.  Will miss seeing Uncle Tim sitting near the tables as we pick up our tee shirts and ids.  Farewell Tim, see you when I arrive at the big convention hall in the sky, but going to miss you until then!  On the other hand, know you are talking to the late greats we grew up with, Heinlein, Asimov, Campbell, etc., so enjoy it, you've earned it by continuing the tradition of spreading the gospel of SF.


You will be missed Uncle Timmy!  You were a brother to my mom "Sissy" and when my parents came to visit you made your lasagna and had them bring me some back! Nothing like your lasagna!  I always told you when I was younger that I was coming to live with you and Aunt Linda!  Love you Uncle Timmy!
