Tim was my brother in law for over 25 years. I found him to be a very private gentleman. My condolences go to Lynda & her family along with the Squires family. Three of the best men I have ever known have been reunited. “The Squires brothers” R I P Tim, Mike & Pat ! Till we meet again ! C J Squires
Terry was a wonderful man and excellent friend/co-worker. He will be greatly missed at Applebus. Fly high and rest in piece 102.
I’ve known Tim since the teenage years in band, Maybe heaven will be a place where Tim can play percussion again! My sympathy to his family, and my prayers for his peace.
Remembering you fondly, Uncle Tim. You will be missed by your Van Riper family. Sending lots of love to Aunt Cathy & Jen and all of Tim’s extended family and friends. XXX
Over the nearly 6 years that I have worked with Terry driving for Metro Connect/Apple Bus, I found him to be a genial person, with a work ethic next to none. I enjoyed many conversations with him, with an equal number of laugh filled moments. I am sadden at his loss, for his family, friends and co-workers. My condolences go out to his family in their grief. The world will be a little less fun now that he is gone.
I knew Tim for 62 years prior to his passing. We were good friends but unfortunately over the years we grew apart and never reconnected until 2 years ago. I’m going to miss him greatly, but feel so blessed we reconnected prior to his passing albeit for too short a time. Rest in peace my friend and soon we’ll be reunited & drive our cars into the stream by Gun Lake again to wash them in the warm Summer sun!
