Tim you always made me smile. Your laugh was contagious and you made Chart a better place. Thanks for the memories. I will miss you! Rest peacefully.

Tim was a great guy to work with. He was always kind to me and looked out for me. I will miss him.
It was my privilege (as plant Weld Engineer) to know and work with Tim during his many years as a skilled weldor for Altec / Chart. He was always positive, took great pride in his work and was respected by all his fellow co-workers. He had a deep love for his family. Tim will truly be missed by all.
My sincere condolences, sympathy and prayers to Tim’s family.
Tim was one of those great neighbors who would do anything for you. Miss him already. And Dawn and girls—we love you! We can still drop off baby turtles if you’re interested.
Tim’s smile was contagious and his heart was big. He will be sorely missed by all that knew him near or far. Love to his kids who were his world.
I haven’t seen “Timmy”, as I knew him, in many years. His mother, Mary, was my mom’s best friend. We spent a lot of fun times with Mary, Herb, Timmy, and Lois Ann when I was young. I barely remember the youngest, Pam, I think. My condolences to all of Tim’s family. Sounds like he was as fun and funny as when I knew him.
Tim was one of the few people who could make me blush and laugh all at the same time. My condolences to all the family and friends. I have many memories to cherish.
Tim was a good neighbor to us when we lived in La Crosse.
Sorry for your loss.
One man that I had the pleasure of knowing. Our relationship was never the best, but he always gave his all. Thank you Tim for being the man that you were.
Sincerely,
Tyrell Retzlaff
