    Tim you left us far to soon. We had so many more memories to work on. You have always been there for me and you share your most inner thoughts with me. We learned from each other and I will miss our conversations we had just to spend time together. Rest in peace my brother, and save a place next to you,,for that day we will meet again. Continue to speak to me when I feel alone. Love you now and forever.

    My Mother Benita Ann (Decker) Schlosser from Defiance, Ohio, was Tim’s (Aunt Honey).
    She Lived with Harold and Delores Decker for a short time before moving to Defiance Ohio and lived with her brother James Decker which would have been Tim Decker’s Uncle.
    My mother was always fond of all Uncle Harold’s Children and when we would visit the relation in Minnesota, we would make it a point to stay at the Farm.
    Always will remember working with Bob, Ray,and Tim before going to the lake, which was the high point of our visit.
    Sorry to hear about Tim’s passing.

    I’ve known Tim since 1990 mostly through business dealings but personally as well. He always seemed to be honest and forthright but had a sense of humor and loved to kid around as well. Always fair-minded and treated others the way they treated him if not better. After I heard of his affliction with cancer just recently I offered him the benefit of my knowledge of natural remedies but it appeared as though he had resigned himself to ending his suffering through death. Although separated by distance from friends he always remembered them and when the opportunity arose to reconnect with friends it was as if no time or distance had passed…he will be missed.

    I work at the Cass County Sheriff’s Office and would talk to Tim at least twice a month. He was always cheerful and kind. I will miss Tim so much! I offer my prayers and my deepest sympathy to his family and friends. He talked about his family often and I could feel the love that he had for each one of you. Rest in eternal peace Tim!

    Tim was a very kind man, alway whitty with a quick joke to make people laugh.
    He had a heart of gold and would help anybody out even if they couldn’t pay for awhile.
    Tim has helped hundreds of people locally and will be greatly missed.
    I’m glad I have been blessed to know Tim, he was a great guy to stop at his salvage yard and talk for an hour or more.
    Tim also was very involved in his family and was a real family man, he loved his grandchildren, kids & family so much and worked very hard in all weather to be a solid provider for his family.
