Tim is a dear friend of mine from our days serving together in the 82nd. He and I reconnected a number of years ago and got together most recent summers to spend valuable time together with our families. You will always have a special place in my heart.
REST IN PEACEMY FREIND
Jacqui,Nate and Meghan,
We were saddened to hear of Tim’s passing. He was an amazing man who has left behind a legacy of service. Always carry your memories close to your heart.
With sympathy and love,
Donna Lynn and Hank Staskel
Being next door neighbors with Tim was always a blessing from watering our sod while we were still relocating then mowing it helping me dispose of a freezer in the builders dumpster (may have been a couple of beers involved in that decision). Taking me flounder fishing for my first time, helping me set up the boat slip I could go on and on about Tim’s kindness. A loving husband, father veteran and respiratory therapist were many of his job titles. Jacqui he adored you he was so proud of Nate being a submariner and father and Meghan for your academic and professional achievements. Let’s not forget Tim’s love of Kohrs brothers ice cream “soft serve orange creamsicle or chocolate/vanilla twist”. Tim it was a pleasure knowing you and calling you friend I’m not sure how the army sends off soldiers but the navy’s goes something like this “rest your oars Tim we have the watch”.
Fishing with Timmy on the Horizon. He was always part of the regular crew. One day he dropped his rod overboard. Before it even hit the water Tim dove after it and saved his beloved red flounder rod and was back in the boat in the blink of an eye. Amazing! Just one of so many great times we enjoyed together. I will miss him dearly but his spirit will always be with us.
