This is such sad news met Tim when I started a job at the Homestead roughly 30 years ago. such a kind peaceful soul. I only worked there for 2 years but have so many amazing memories because of Tim and all of his friends. RIP buddy …
Devastating news. Tim and my time at the Owners Club were coterminous and I’ve rarely met a gentleman who was so nice, so willing to accommodate everyone who crossed his path. Well done good and faithful servant.
Such a friendly, helpful fellow- a real asset to the club
We always loved Timmy’s smile when we were at the club. He was so genuine and caring no matter what we needed. RIP my friend beside our Lord!

Tim was very intelligent and a wonderful student. As an adult , I remember his smile and caring for others. Praying comfort for Rachel and Christie.
I still miss seeing Tim when I could visit the Owners Club. He was certainly so wonderful and will be remembered fondly.
This is devastating news! Tim was a special person, with unwavering dedication to The Owners Club. His kindness, reliability, and genuine care for both the property and the families he served made a lasting impact. We remain grateful for everything he did for us and the genuine friendship we shared. On our last trip we prepared meatballs for the Thursday night Social Hour in his honor. While the meatballs were not “Tim like”, the memory was special to us. RIP Tim, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Tim was a quiet and personable member of the OC Team.
We always looked forward to seeing him and catching up.
He represented the County and the Club so very well.
Our prayers go to his Aunt and Cousin.
