Tributes
"My heart goes out to you and your family. So sorry for you loss."
"Sending warm sympathetic thoughts and prayers to Jay, Elizabeth and the entire Timm family."
"I knew Mr. Timm as my childhood friend, Johnny Timm's dad. I later knew him at GPC where he let me call him 'Marvin' when we both worked there together. It was a tough and dangerous work. I remember him playing horseshoes in our backyard with our homemake fireplace and making s'mores with my parents, Dean & Dorothy Schmoldt in the 1960's. My sympathies to all of the Timm family we grew up with together in the 'old neighborhood' on West hill. "
"Jean and Dave, Sandy and I have you in our thoughts and prayers. Although I didn't know him, your father (and father in law's) obituary told the story of a great family man. I know his soul is at peace and joy with our eternal Father. "
"So sorry to hear that Marvin has passed. Lots of good memories of him and the Timm family growing up on Bridgeman Street. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family."
