  14. To: Kim and the Sweeney family
    I heard from Bob Tennesson about the passing of Tim. I’m sincerely sorry for your loss. I’m a Isley cousin of Tim’s from Bamberg, Ontario, Canada. I’m not sure if I actually met Tim when I was at a family reunion 3-4 years ago in Minnesota with Bob Tennesson, and brought Isley family tree books with me. From the obit that Bob sent me it sounds like Tim was a very special person to his family and a great all around guy to his friends.

  15. I will never forget all the great times we had as kids. You will be missed, Tim. My deepest sympathies to the Sweeney Family.

  16. I just read the notice of Tim’s passing in the Shanely High newsletter. I am so sorry for your loss. I always remembered Tim happy and smiling. He frequently was joking around and liked to make people laugh. He was taken much too soon.
