We’ve known Tim for 30 yrs. plus. He was there for the boys when there was no one else. He even went camping with my son Lane when his scout troop went on overnights.There were a lot of fun times at the Rishers. He will be missed.

We miss you more and more every day. It doesn’t seem like its been 6 months since you left us, but at the same time it seem like an eternity. I know you’re up there following all those cute angels around, having a blast. I can’t wait till I get to see you again!
Love and miss you grandpa.
