I’m so sorry to hear about Tim’s passing. I really enjoyed knowing Tim, as well as his family over the years. He was a good man, and I know he’ll be missed. Tim’s family was always so important to him, and you all know you meant the world to him.
I was so sorry to hear about Tim. He was always so pleasant and helpful. He will be missed.
Semper Fi Marine, Heaven gained a good man. You will be dearly missed. Thank you for all you did in the community throughout the years. A friend till the end, until we meet again!
Helene and family:
Tim was a very appreciated part of our pitch league. A good player who always had a joke for us. He will be missed in that group.
My heart goes out to you on his passing. May God give you the peace that can only come from above. May you feel God’s presence with you as you walk this dark valley. Cheryl Nygren and George Schmitz.
Sympathy to the family. Tim did so much for people that he never took credit for. There was no stranger to him. He will be missed.
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.

My hart hurts for the family, Tim was a big part of my family’s life when we lived in Ashland, my Dad and Tim were the best of friends and he helped my mom out a lot after my Dad past away. Now they are in heaven together again. They are toasting and catching up now.
With all our love Rick and Nora Cihacek
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.

From Ohio. Family can be far away but not far from the heart. Prayers for the family. We are descendents of James “Jim” Harold’s brother.
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!
I’m so sorry for your loss. Tim was a BIG personality every time he walked into the room. His light will be missed.
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.
