  4. My husband and I Scouted with Tim for many years. He finally ended his career in Scouting due to poor health while still with Troop 500 of Strong. He truly had the Scouting spirit and knew every Scout song, story, and skill. He had a great deal that he could offer. We express our sympathy to his family. I also know that Tim was a believer in God and I am sure he is walking on streets made of gold today.

    You just may be able to ride in that “little red wagon” now, my friend.

  6. My deepest sympathy to the family of Tim, In school he was always involved in something. A very caring and kind person. RIP Tim

  7. remembering the conversations over the fire pit for the bean hole beans and him helping with the chicken BBQ.. the conversations when running into him at assorted places and recently being there for another ‘ride’ down the road- glad for the opportunity.. another community loss for this area. RIP Tim, I know you have suffered for a while now on this earth and you are in the best hands possible now with no more suffering.. may there be endless Boy scout jamborees and fiddle heads for you.
    Also Tim was a member and supporter of the Phillips fire dept for many years that was not mentioned. Ride that fire truck Tim!

  8. I knew Tim in high school and I think he had the most helpful spirit of anyone I have ever known. Always had a smile on his face. Prayers go out to his family.
