Hi John,
I don't know who sent in the info about Tim, but I appreciate it so much. There are a few people I would have loved to inform, but I had no way to contact them. Theresa Beaver saw it on the web site, luckily I had already contacted her, and she's flying in from Idaho for the funeral. Debbie Moore will also be here, but I didn't have the energy or presence of mind to personally contact anyone else. Your help is invaluable. If you hear from anyone who would like more details, I wouldn't mind answering calls in the near future.
Just to let you know, Tim was in the hospital after having his 3rd mild heart attack. On Tuesday he had a massive heart attack, our 5 kids and 1 grand-daughter, and I were with him constantly and the last thing we all said to him was "I love you". He was a wonderful husband and a great, loving father. We will miss him terribly, but know he is in a better place and free of pain. For that we are thankful.
I don't know if a lot of people knew or remember Tim, because he was kind of elusive and he definitely spent more time at the beach than at school. But there are a few people he remembered fondly.
This forum is an awesome way to get the info out there, and I appreciate all you and your committee has done to keep it going. Thank you for not forgetting .
Love, Kathy

Hi John
Feel free to publish anything you like. I would also like to thank you, Theresa, and the entire class for the
absolutely gorgeous plant that was sent. I appreciate it and will plant it in Tim's honor. The funeral was
amazing. It brought such peace to my children and I. Theresa Beaver, Debbie Moore, Benny Kidner, and
Cindy Sciarrotta were all there and it was awesome to see them and feel the love and support. I have also
received cards and condolences from many others.
I have so many good memories from my days at THS, my good friends I've kept in touch with are among the
best. But I met the love of my life there and for that I will always be grateful. Tim was a fighter, but he was so tired. The day he passed away, he told me that he knew it was time to go, he just couldn't fight any more. He left behind 3 grown sons who we are so proud of. They are all strong, capable boys and Tim taught them well the value of working hard. We have 2 beautiful daughters who are still in school and living with me. We have 1 granddaughter, cute as a button, and 1 granddaughter due in July.
Once again, thank you to the class of 72 for your kindness and especially to you John and Theresa for going the extra mile.
Love, Kathy |
