Thank you all who assisted in my effort. I spoke with Kevin last evening and we had a great one hour conversation that could have been three hours. But there will be time for that during visits and trips to ballgames. We all planned on taking in a Trimble, NY and Logan football game this year. I am truly apprecciative in your assistance.

Always hate to hear this kind of stuff. Very refreshing though to hear that Tim spent his life worrying about and being kind to others. Rest In Peace Tim.

I never heard him ask for any sympathy as well. and he's been sick a very long time.i stayed in touch with him on facebook, and infrequent phone calls. I never once heard him complain. as dutch said, he met me at the Rosemont hills macdonalds 2 years ago and we went at met trevon Pendleton at the endzone when he was announced as the coach. captivating guy. tim also went on to play at akron as well. very well established and well know football player. and he was a constant font of information for us tigers fans when it came to fighting tiger football history. he was in the ironton class of 1980. and was on ironton's team as a starter on the 1st team to win state, beating akron saint Vincent saints Mary's 7-6. this game was in the akron rubber bowl. and oddly enough that's where he played college ball as well. very gifted songwriter and guitar player as well. really going to miss him. and in the past 2 weeks we have lost 2 members of my class as well, the ironton class of 79. losing a couple other athletes mark potter and cary Fairchild. remember these family units in your prayers.

Very sorry to hear of Tim's passing.......I remember him playing for the 1979 basketball Fighting Tigers. He was known for his tenacious defensive intensity, and he certainly showed it in the 54-52 district championship win over my Trojans. I enjoyed reading his posts on SEOPS.

My condolences and sympathy to his family and friends......SEOPS has lost one that has made this site so good.

Tim was a fine man. He only lived about a 1/4 mile from me. He had the '78 and '79 page on Facebook. He'd made me co-author of it. I'll keep it open as long as I'm able to do so


Well, Who Wouldn't Love Them Fighting Tigers?!
