"My thoughts & prayers to Ruth Ann & entire family of Tim. When I became Activity Director at the Care Center & added Tim to my schedule for extra Activities every week; he was a Blessing. Will always remember him as a kind soul & the sense of humor he exuded was delightful. Everyone loved having Tim in their life. Always happy & thoughtful in so many ways. He will be missed by many. Hold on to all the beautiful memories you have over the years. He certainly was a very special person & will never be forgotten. "
"Prayers to the Corporon Family. I remember spending many nights at the little house on the corner in Langworthy. Tim & Ruth Ann let us sit on the back steps of Club 151 listening to the bands. Great memories!"
"My sympathy to Tim's family. He was always a cheerful guy. Never will forget the times we all had when we went camping. Also the good times at Club 151. Thoughts and prayers to the family. RIP!"
"Our prayers and deepest sympathy to each of the family. Tim was a wonderful man and was such a special friend to my dad who shared a room with him at the nursing home. A few days before dad passed away, Tim offered to read him some scripture from the Bible. That was such a loving and caring gesture, but that was just the way Tim was. He will be greatly missed but it gives me comfort to know that he is rejoicing in heaven with those who have gone before him. May he rest in peace. "
