I will always remember how sweet Tim was. He was always so patient when "the Smith cousins" came to visit. I'll never forget his laugh. He will be missed by many.

Sorry to hear about Tim. Longtime neighbors down the street. Great family and friends over the years. No surprise he became an engineer always tinkering with things.

Life-Long Friend and Classmate ,Eufaula ,Oklahoma

A very large hole in my heart at the loss of my life-long friend, confidant, and classmate. I was blessed to be able to talk with Tim almost every day over these last years and to have shared so many of our Family Reunions in Eufaula, OK and our "excursions" driving around Great Bend at our class Reunions, and visits up to see Tim with close classmates, John Weaver, and Curt Jurgesen. We had a lot of great times, but never enough time, never enough pictures...but I am so grateful and was blessed for the times that we did share over the years. Ann and John, John and Ginger, and A.J. and all the nieces and nephews....I pray for friends to comfort you, faith to sustain you, and loving memories to help you smile again. May Almighty God provide strength and peace during this most difficult and sad time.

HIgh School / College friend ,Broomfield ,Colorado

Tim, the consummate gentleman, was always kind and endearing to those he met, As a high school friend and college roommate, I have many memories to cherish as well as memories from our times together after school. Tim was one of a kind in helping so many others - from his work in charitable endeavors to the homeowner's association where he lived for decades. I will miss him greatly.

co-worker ,Overland Park ,Kansas

In my years at BV i worked briefly with Tim on several of the smaller projects we had. Tim was always there to help the newer engineers, Also he was always concerned about the quality of his work and how it affected the overall safety of the job. You can't more than that about an engineer.

Former Neighbor ,STILWELL ,Kansas

I am saddened to hear of Tim's passing. I knew Tim when we were neighbors at the Villages of Overland View. We both served on the Homes Association Board of Directors. He was very dedicated to whatever project he was working on. I also knew him from Holy Cross, and would occasionally see him on Sprint's campus when BV moved to Sprint's campus during their renovation. I always enjoyed visiting with Tim when our paths would cross.
