Tim was a kind and thoughtful person, a leader in our class of 1978. At our 40th reunion, we talked about our mothers together. My sincerest condolences go to his family: may the Lord help and comfort during this difficult time.

Rest in peace Tim. He was a very nice and personable guy. It's too bad he was taken so young but someone has bigger plans for him. The Olson family...sorry for your loss of your loved one. He is in a much better place now. Condolences to all family and relatives.

To Dorothy and family, My condolences to all of you and sharing in your sadness as you remember Tim. Tim was one of my favorite classmates from the class of ‘78. I have fond memories of him and he had a great sense of humor. May the Lord give you all comfort and peace, Joan Eder-Larson

A great guy. He will be missed. We helped with the Kubota House. We took care of the electrical service but Tim was excited about rewiring himself. He would ask a barrage of questions and would studiously take pages of notes. Not just how but why. Loved that curiosity.

Here's the biggest recycling project in the world. Tim had this house moved onto this site (9 blocks in the middle of the night), then had a foundation poured under it and lowered it down. It would have been torn down if not purchased for $1 and moved. The roof peak was cut off to go under wires on the street. When he was done, the 100-year-old upstairs retained its character but with all new everything, and the spacious lower level (set up as a future mother-in-law apartment if desired) was a comfortable new two-bedroom with nice living space. He was very proud of this project, called The Kubota House.

Sorry to hear about Tim's death. I worked with him at Mark's Prairie Fence company back in Williston, a thousand years ago. Good guy who was very exacting in our projects.

Some of my earliest memories in life involve Tim, including time at Rickard. He and I were pretty bored and badly behaved in second grade - the teacher retired after having us for a year! And upward and onward through junior high and high school, Tim was always an integral part of our class. Smart, funny, kind to ALL - and always good for a wry comment. There are some people from one’s past that stay with you, and Tim was one for me. The last time we talked was just before our 40th high school reunion, which I couldn’t attend. I heard from Tim afterwards that he thoroughly enjoyed the reunion. My heart just is having trouble conceiving of a world without him. Sending lots of love to all his family. He was so dedicated to his mother - I know she’ll miss his visits back to Williston.

Tim was such a great friend, always very caring about what was going on with me. And I learned so much from him, both practical stuff like building practices and random things that came from his ever-inquisitive nature. I will miss him greatly.
