More memory cards from Timm's memorial service

I met Timm at O.O. (Overcomers Outreach, a church-based 12-step recovery program.) I remember last year Timm and my husband umpired baseball together. It was as if they had umpired together all their lives. I'll always remember Timm, he had a heart for God and all he knew.

Timm was a great man of God. I'll remember him through his kindness for his fellow men. I'll miss you GREATLY.

When I think of Tim I think of a man who was always smiling a man of much wisdom, a man who was always waiting with good advice. A God fearing man. A great friend who took me hiking and showed me my first waterfall. Now he's with God. -- Phyllis

Today I have a good life and Timm helped me to get there. -- Ellis J. James




Timm, your weren't always the quickest to respond to email so I don't know if you ever read my last email to you. Here's the gist of it. I was honored to work with, to have the opportunity to do justice to the works of, and to know a true artist. I feel sure that when you arrive in heaven, they'll have your photos hanging on the walls. Oregon won't look
the same without you. -- Cheers, Dixie



So many things to say about Timm! He rented a room from me for 2 years and I remember anticipating him moving in. I hoped we'd have some great spiritual conversation because his view point was so unconventional. He always challenged me and it strengthened my faith.

Timm, he was the persona of a truly nice giving person. He was always there when you needed him to take pictures. He was always happy and friendly; a joy to be around. He will be missed at the "Our Town" and friends of Mount Angel Publishing. -- Linda Kinghorn

I knew Timm thru AA. I am a 68 year old doctor in Salem. I loved him. His words were kind, insightful, encouraging. He helped me. He spoke of his family lovingly. I'll miss him. I hope you have good memories of Timm. He was a fine human. - Tom S.

Timm meant so much to me, words can't express. And he told me many times how much I meant to him. We were planning to go to Mt. Hood in May for a photo shoot and to celebrate our birthdays. I plan to still go. He will be with me in spirit there and always until we meet again in heaven. He talked so much about loving his family. We were all blessed by him.

To Timm's Family: The little time I knew Timm, I always loved his spirit. He was a great individual and will be mmissed. I was fortunate to have held his hand in closing an A.A. meeting the day before his death. I love him. -- Greg J.

Timm was always so sweet. I was unable to rake my yard because of a car accident. Christy and Timm came over. Timm raked and Christy and I weeded. Timm always had a smile on his face whenever we saw him and Christy. Timm loved Jesus as did I. On my last sobriety birthday he honored me with words of gentle praise and admiration that warmed my heart and melted my soul. Someday we will praise God together! -- Sue K.

When my life was falling apart, Timm listened and helped me by going with me to Canby to a meeting for people who lived with alcoholics - I don't know where I would be without him. He was my friend and always kind to my children. We watched a sunset when I was not ready to go home with my kids from a meeting and I felt peace. Thank you Timm. -- Love, Julie

Timm, I really miss you. It seems almost ridiculous, as I hardly knew you, but I know the spirit you shared with all who came in contact with you, however briefly. I know that I have an advocate at God's right hand. I wish you eternal rest in perpetual light. -- Billy Maguire

I knew Timm for over three years. He always had a warm smile, an open ear and was willing to share his experience, strength, and hope. He was humble, hopeful, and helpful. I was priveleged to know him; my only regret was not knowing him better. He was always there to help. When I asked him to speak at our young people's A.A. meeting, he didn't hesitate,
but only asked, "when?" He left the world a better place, and we will miss him. -- Ryan Nelson
