"Tim, you were the ultimate good buddy to us. We shared good times and bad times over the years. I’ll always remember how your face lit up that Christmas when we gave you the ComEd bucket truck replica. You and Deb led a fine life raising your family with an open doors to us. We will miss you.

"Sincere condolences to Tim's family. I worked with Tim at Com Ed. Lots of memories. He will be missed. Unfortunately, we lost contact with each other. We both lived in Frankfort. I recently moved to St. John 4 years ago. I wished I would've known he was here in St. John. R.I.P. my friend. An old buddy: Mel Garza"

"Dad...what can I say. I'm waiting for you to wake me up on that saturday morning to go perch fishing. To hunt on Shelbyville with the Lulinski boys. To wait for Uncle Chuck to show up on that Sunday afternoon with McDonald's and hear him say "ondomo" and you say hey Chuckie! It's the little things I miss with you and with your friends that were like my second fathers. I miss you Dad and I love you. "
