Dear Margie, Christi, and Tim ~ It's been so many years and I only met and/or saw Tim a few times, but I always marveled at the spark and smile that he brought to Margie. I am just so very sad to be reading this obituary as I surely would have visited the funeral home in support of your family. May you all find comfort in John 5: 28 and 29...and also peace in Isaiah 41:13. Please do accept my prayers during this most difficult time. Should you need anything at all, please never hesitate to contact me. Warm Love, Gina

My husband and I were so sorry to hear about Tim's passing. I cannot comprehend this. We have been out of town and just got home late last night. We are SO sorry that this happened. We have been friends with Tim through Checkers for many years. WE touched base every so often over email. I cannot tell you how sorry I am that Tim had to leave you. Diane and Tony

My heartfelt condolences on your loss! He will be greatly missed by so many at BGH as he touched everyone with his wonderful presence. Always available and encouraging to those he encountered, I had the pleasure of working with him briefly last year in a critical care series we developed. He graciously helped us and brought his enthusiasm for education to all participants in the presentation. Willingly sharing his time and staff to further the unique scope of his department and the population they served, he readily shared his time and staff in this endeavor.

Dear Jack, The whole Winderl family, especially the first 6, were so sad to hear of your loss. What great memories we have of growing up with you two in Wiiliamsville. Dan is devastated after a 50 year friendship! We are all so sorry, our deepest condolences to you and your Mom. Take Care. Susie

Rest in peace, my friend. I enjoyed many laughs and quiet conversations with you and I will miss them. To the family, please pull strength by knowing that Tim was an amazing man that touched many and I am a better person from knowing him. Kathy Jackson BGH Human Resources

My deepest condolences to your family. Tim worked in our Patient Mgt. Dept. for several years. He was always cheerful and eager to help anyone. We are saddened by his untimely loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.

I met Tim through Lin Feng. Life had not been kind back then, and Tim and Lin made sure I had a full pint and a plate of chicken wings in front of me all night. Although we had just met, Tim intuitively pulled me aside, told me all about his family, shared anecdotes from his life story, and was incredibly kind and encouraging. Over the next couple of years we'd meet at one type of function or another that always seemed to involve a pint or two and share laughs. In fact we just met for wings and a few pints in March, and had made plans to attend a few concerts this summer. We had only been friends for a few years, but Tim's kindness and friendship will be fondly remembered. I can only imagine the magnitude of loss Tim's family and life-long friends must be feeling. My heart goes out to them during this difficult time. Sincerely, David Grabowski

Had the pleasure of working with Tim in Patient Management years ago. He was always someone that you could turn to with any type of problem or concern, a "team player", and ALWAYS put a humerous twist on the situation--at least if you could not solve the problem you could laugh about it! Please know that my heart is heavy with your loss and as you, I will cherish the memories that I have of Tim! GOD BLESS Sally Morgan

My heartfelt condolences to the family. Tim was always such an upbeat person. He always took time to listen and loved jokes. Tim worked so very hard to make the BGH transplant department run smoothly. I would often stop by his office and say (a la South Park) TIMMY! A good man is hard to find. Tim will never be replaced. Sincerely, Mary Ann Snyder

To Tim's wife and family. What a shock to see Tim's obituary and picture in the paper. I used to work with Tim at Millard Fillmore Gates Hospital. I also used to work the Corporate Challenge and we spent a lot of time there talking. He spoke of his wonderful wife and family. He was a wonderful guy and will be missed by many. I am sorry I will not be able to attend the wake or funeral as I will be out of town. My condolences to you, Marjorie, your children, grandchildren and family. I will keep Tim, you and your family in my prayers. Terri Falzone

Margie, Elizabeth, Tim, Christi, Craig, Chris, Ethel, Jack and all who loved Tim... Deepest heartfelt condolences from one of "the three Tims" and all of your family here on this side of the state. Your Tim was one of the best people I ever met, period. He was interested in everyone, really listened to people and helped knit together the family. It was way too soon to lose him, but he sure made a lasting impression on many, many people. I have posted some photos and we'll see you soon. Tim Sharpe Stone Ridge, NY

Tim, you left your mark on all you did. The faculty in the graduate program in Health Services Administration here at D'Youville College will remember your hard work, calm demeanor and generosity.

My prayers go out to Tim's family and numerous friends. He was such a great person and dear friend. He will be missed so much. He always referred to my mom as "old woman" and loved to tease, joke around, or cause a little mayhem. Yet he was very dedicated, passionate and hard working. He was always there for me even when I would text him in the middle of the night because I forgot my password again. I could always rely on him and I am a better person for knowing him. I will always remember him for his strength, wisdom, and support. I am thankful for the time we had together. I just wish we had more of it. Thank you Tim for being my greatest mentor.

Margie and Elizabeth, I am so sorry. Tim sarcastically called me Linnie-Pooh, particularly when I did something wrong, which happened often. I don't know how we're going to get on without you Timmy - all your selfless love, your fiercely loyal friendship, your never-ending support, your tireless encouragement. You believed in everyone and touched so many of our lives, and especially to me, you were a most dear friend. There was never anyone like you. I am honored and privileged to have had your friendship! I miss you so very much. So very much. All my deepest condolences to the family and everyone else who loved him too. ~Lin
