Very sorry for your loss. I worked with Jim at Lockheed Martin Sippican in Marion for many years. He was always very helpful and always had a smile on his face. I was glad he came to our reunion a few weeks ago. Nice guy.

Some of my fondest memories growing up were my times at the farm. In my early teens I can remember biking over to "work" the farm with Sue, Tim, and Boss. I like to think that I was actually helping out but bad influence Tim was the real reason I went. The dirt bike, the three-wheeler, the skeet and target shooting, in many ways Tim was like a big brother to me.

I would eventually move away out of state but would always try to stop by when I could, often bringing the wife and kids along. Many years later, my two daughters still recall fondly the time we visited and Tim had graciously bought SO many snacks and treats for them, a truly ridiculous amount! We laughed so much with him as we plowed through the goodies, Tim's humor and wit on full display. That time created such a life memory for them.

Tim will be missed. RIP.

I'll never forget the fun times we had in our neighborhood and at the farm. Tim was my best friend and I can't believe he's gone. We talked for hours every week about the good times we had, the bad times and everything in between. 50 yrs we've known each other. I'm really gonna miss our phone calls.
