we were best friends forever loved him.  Rex

Tim was one of my Scoutmasters when I was growing up and he was  a lot like a second dad.  When we would hike, he would share the memories and wisdom he had acquired over the years.  He taught me how they field stripped smokes in Vietnam (we were around 15 at the time, haha.)  He played a big role in my joining the service when I turned 18.  He had a very distinct laugh that all of us would try to mimic and to this day I inadvertently still often laugh like that.   Rest easy old friend and know that my boys will learn all about you as they grow up!

Sorry to hear about Tim’s passing. We grew up together on Capital st  and ran around in our younger days. My father and his played softball together. He was also my  letter carrier when I was in business. Prayers to Lisa  and her family. He will be missed.

I met Tim on the side of a mountain in Vietnam in October 1967. We had been pinned down for a few days on the side of the trail. When it became chow time I was in a hole with Tim, Jack Clark ( Pekin) , and another  marine  Danny McMichael’s. When it came to heating the chow I saw Tim pop the bottom off a frag grenade at which point I crapped my pants and was moving. Tim and Jack laughed because that was the way they had heated food for long before I had gotten there. 50+ years later and we’d still laugh.  I will always miss you my brother. A man’s man and Marine. Semper Fi 

TIM WAS A LOYAL, BRAVE, AND HARD-CHARGING MARINE.  HE AND I SERVED IN THE SAME PLATOON IN VIET NAM, AND THROUGH SOME ALMOST MIRACULAR TIMES TOGETHER.  WITHOUT TIM, SOME OF US MIGHT NOT HAVE MADE IT.  WE WILL MISS HIM.

Lisa and Family:  Our hearts go out to you at this sad time.   As you know I met Tim some fifty-four odd years ago at a small fire base in Vietnam.   As members of the same platoon we walked many a mile together and I am honored to call Tim a very special friend.    My wife and I both will miss our phone calls, the stories that we shared over the years, and his wry wit and smile.   We love you my Brother.     Semper Fi.

Sorry to hear about Tim’s passing.  His brothers in arms Delta 1/4,  3rd Marine Division, will miss him. Lisa may his love for you and his family give you peace and strength during this difficult time.   One day we will meet up again. Semper fi my brother! 

I was shocked and so saddened to see Tim passed. Tim and I served together in Vietnam, in the same platoon. Rip brother, SEMPER FI, I'll look forward to seeing you again one day!

So sorry to hear of Tim’s passing. My Dad, Bob Thompson, carried mail with him many years and I know they are laughing about something up in heaven💜 may you all find peace during this time. 

Tim was a great softball coach and even better friend. You will be greatly missed.   Love you and Lisa

Lisa and Family,
We were saddened to hear of Tim’s passing.  Tim was such a nice man.  Each time we would see him, he was quick with a hug and a hand shake and always had time for a visit.  You could see his love for his family in how caring he was.  We enjoyed watching him and the boys play euchre at the boat club.  He even went gambling with my mom and little Donna once when we were in Gulf Shores.  I am sure he had a hard time keeping up with those ladies.  Please know you are all in our thoughts and prayers.

So sorry for your loss.  Our hearts go out to the family through this difficult time.

I remember tim from high school. After high school i lost track most of my classmates and it wasnt until years later that i found out tim was a Marine, such as I. The first time i saw him  was carrying mail. I didnt know he was a letter carrier.  I was one at one time. Then i really got to say hi to him on court street at the Veterans Day Memorial. It was great to see him and talked a little bit and he was disabled and had a hard time standing. A great Marine for sure and friend. As a Marine to another Marine....Semper Fi Marine. Guard those Gates in Heaven. 

So Sorry to hear about Tim. We went to Church together. I have great memories of our times together at church and in sports. Church basketball stands out as a special time and Tim was pretty good. RIP, Brother, once a marine, Jarhead forever.

Lisa and Family,  I was saddened to see that Tim has passed! One thing that always stuck out about Tim was he was just a good guy! I have known him for many years ànd he always has been that same person! He met the woman he was to be with and they were a good match! I know he loved family for sure. Just know that he is in a better place and he is probably at a favorite fishing hole with his friends. There has been a great loss to all that knew him and especially Lisa and the whole crew! If you need anything, please let me know! Always a friend. 💜☮️

There are no words to touch the shock of loosing a long time Good Man-good friend to everyone. Tim was a perfect man to carry mail. A decicated Marine. I'm not sure what he couldn't do. Only person that I knew who loved painting or baking in the kitchen. God Bless each of you. 

We, the officers and membership of Marine Corps League Detachment 081, would like to express our sincere condolences on the passing of our brother in arms.   Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this most difficult time.   Semper Fidelis!!
