Brother of Don, Larry and Harold. Known him since high school, played against him in multiple sports. A kind and generous soul. He had his demons, but couldn’t not have been easy growing up around all the successes his brothers had. RIP

I knew Tim well, he refereed and umpire many of my city league basketball and softball games over the years. |

I knew Tim well, he refereed and umpire many of my city league basketball and softball games over the years. He umped a lot of JV, freshman and summer league baseball games. He had the perfect attitude, moved the game along, laughed off bitching from the coaches and made the game about the kids. Yes he often expanded the strike zone to get the kids swinging and to give the pitchers a break and may have missed a call or two, but it wasn't for lack of trying or disinterest. He knew nobody came to the park that day to watch the umpire. RIP. |

My favorite Tim referee memory.... playing on a really bad city league basketball team with some coworkers. Guy on the other team is complaining and asking for fouls pretty much the entire game, over the top whining, yelling "and-1" on every shot.
Tim finally stops the game and says "look man, you're playing C-league basketball in a middle school on a Wednesday night. Take that as a sign that you just aren't very good to begin with and stop complaining." The guy stopped complaining.

RIP. I believe he was my age, 65-66. I played football against him in high school. Good athlete. No trash talking, that I ever heard. Damn….. too young.
***** Had to edit. I see Tim was three years my junior. Graduated in ‘79. I, in ‘76, so DOUBTFUL we played against each other.
Was there ANOTHER brother around MY AGE? I KNOW I played against one of them. A safety, maybe.
