"Michelle, Children, Grandchildren and all so dear: You have my deepest condolences for the loss of a husband, father, grandfather, brother and a true friend to many. One never knows when our good lord will receive one into his heavenly kingdom. You can be rest assured that Tim is in his safe haven and will be looking down upon all so dear to him. I will never forget when Tim and I would be enjoying a gentlemanâ??¢â??Ã?¨â??Ã?¢s beverage at the local Moose Lodge we were always repeating phrases from the show from years back called Green Acres. As recently as a few days ago I saw Tim having his normal coffee at Caseyâ??¢â??Ã?¨â??Ã?¢s and he as always had a favorite quote from the show â??¢â??Ã?¨¬ù well I guess I really wasnâ??¢â??Ã?¨â??Ã?¢t in the neighbor hoodâ??¢â??Ã?¨¬ù. That may not be familiar with many of you but it will be something I will always remember Tim by. Tim always no matter where I would see him he always called me Rickles rather if it was on a farm or socially. Iâ??¢â??Ã?¨â??Ã?¢m sorry that I will not be able to attend Timâ??¢â??Ã?¨â??Ã?¢s service as I am out of town on business. You are in my thoughts and you have my blessings. Again you have my deepest sympathy for your loss. TIM, our paths will cross again but until they do, go in peace my dear friend and may god bless. A friend always, Rick Cady "

"Sarah-- I am so sorry to hear about your Dad. I just wanted you to know that I am thinking of you. Kelly (Dodds) Blegen"
"Dear CT, Katie, Sarah, and the rest of the family- We were shocked and deeply saddened when we heard the news. I had the pleasure of meeting him once and I specifically made a point of saying what an incredibly sweet and polite man he seemed to be. Steph and CT, I am so happy that you two were able to see him the weekend prior to his passing and he had the chance to gush over his new grandson, Brendan, one last time. That trip was a blessing in disguise. As hard as it is to vision a positive in all of this, just remember that you all have one more angel in Heaven watching over you and protecting you! Please accept our deepest condolences and sympathies in this very difficult time. Love, Valerie & Mat Lehnig "
