"My condolences to Tim's family. My Name is Tom Leiting and I live in the Davenport area. I have known Tim over the years as a fellow manager of a local Cooperative. I always have enjoyed visiting with Tim over the years that he managed the Coop. Tim took real ownership of the business and employee team and was willing to make tough decisions for the benefit of the organization. I enjoyed watching Tim build the business. You knew in visiting with him he enjoyed being a part of the farming community. I attended the funeral yesterday and appreciated getting to know more about Tim's personal life and family and friends. He was truly blessed. I will miss visiting with him on the phone on occasion as we have over the years. You will be in my thoughts and prayers over the next few months. Tom Leiting River Valley Cooperative"

"Maynard, Carolyn, Terri and Tina- My thoughts are with you during this tough time. I have many good memories of your family that have surfaced since's Tim's death. It strange how all of those good days come flooding back. We spent a lot of time at Good Luck Girls 4-H meetings and Tim was there. Stockport horse shows when Terri was trying to get him to 'cowboy' with her. And sleepovers for birthdays. Tim was always that little brother, rotten ornery, bugging the girls ! Great memories of childhood will carry us through the tough times. My prayers are with you now."
