• Susan, Uncle Ed, Aunt Dorothy and Sheldon. We were so shocked and saddened to hear of Timmy's passing. It's hard to believe that when we had our short visit at South Beach this summer that it would be our last. I will always cherish that one last visit. The one thing I will always remember about Tim is his smile...no matter what he was facing he was always smiling. I will always remember the times we had at Baba and Gege's farm and the many Sundays we all got together and waited in anticipation for Baba to pull out the treats. We had such great fun with all the cousins and aunts and uncles. I still have a picture of Gege playing the harmonica and the boys dancing in the living room. Hoping that memories of times together will bring you comfort. It's the little things that make your love and memories matter so much now. We love you and are thinking of you at this sad time. So sorry for your loss. He was such a special man and gone much too soon. Heaven takes its favorites first. God bless you all during this difficult time. Love, Heather, Barrie, Taylor, Brendan & Tiffany - Posted by: Heather Kidd (Cousin) on: Feb 08, 2015

• Tim was and is still a great friend. I have known Tim for over 30 years and I will miss him. I as well as Debbie can't see anything to do with the "Habs" and not think of Tim. My only comfort is knowing Tim can now watch Habs games with The Rocket and all his favorite players. Miss you buddy. - Posted by: Wayne KLamoureux (Friend) on: Feb 07, 2015

• I am saddened to hear of Tim's passing, way too young to leave us. I recall when Tim started at SMHC & how he was caring & understanding to those he provided care to. He will be missed by all. Condolences to you & the family Susan, thinking of you at this time. - Posted by: Brendyce Sararas (Co-worker) on: Feb 07, 2015

• So saddened to hear the passing of Tim. I have known Tim since grade 1 at Happy Thought School, over 40 years, wow. Times at school were great for us until we got in trouble, and that was about every day. The guys in our class would usually choose the strap rather than doing lines, that way we would be able to go out for recess only to get into more trouble. Them early memories of Tim will never be forgotten by me and all that knew him. Till we meet again bud. RIP - Posted by: Gary Pawliw (school friends) on: Feb 07, 2015

• Going to miss you buddy. Even though life took us in different directions I will always remember hanging out, BSing, the pools, pro-lines and riding you about your beloved Habs. Take care my friend. - Posted by: Dave Benson (Buddy) on: Feb 05, 2015

• Saturday rec hockey in Warren is one of the best hours of the entire week. I couldn't wait to get started, seeing all the guys to blow off some steam on the ice. Tim always had a warm greeting and was in high spirits at game time. Playing hockey means a lot to me, but I envied Tim for his level of devotion. He played with understanding and skill and always put himself in the right place. How many times I pursued only to watch him pull away and drive the net. And all this while he played through pain and stiffness that would have kept the rest of us at home. It's gonna be tough this Saturday without him. Gonna miss you buddy. Go Habs Go - Posted by: Grant Palmer (Fellow Rec Hockey Star) on: Feb 05, 2015

• How do you even begin to describe someone as wonderful as Tim? Timbo - the gentle yet tough guy - such a strong, vibrant man who touched the lives of so many. He truly had a heart of gold, a kindness and compassion about him that were so comforting. Tim was faced with many hardships in life yet managed to surpass them all - rise above and face each challenge. After his devastating accident he was told he would never play hockey again - yet he did just that!! His favourite pastime!! And of course it's no secret how much he loved his Montreal Canadiens! I for one cannot look at anything to do with the Canadiens without thinking of him! Tim, you were one of a kind, a down to earth, caring and compassionate man, and you will be forever missed. I am so thankful for the years I had with you, you helped shape me into the person I am today. So many memories to cherish. I will forever love and miss you. My heart goes out to Ed, Dorothy, Sheldon and Susan - may you all take comfort in the knowledge that Tim will always be with you. Rest in peace now Tim. - Posted by: Debbie Gowryluk () on: Feb 04, 2015

• Words cannot express the sadness we all are feeling upon hearing that Tim has decided to join his two brothers Darrel and Kelly. Your heart was always full and filled with such joy. I can't remember a time when Tim wasn't smiling or trying to get someone with a prank. Growing up, both Darren and Tim were inseparable and no one ever thought the two rink rats would ever grow up, as they loved to have fun and were always so carefree... Tim worked wonders with the troubled youth in our area and they responded to his advice and seemed to excel when Tim got involved. Not an easy feat by any standards, but Tim reached out to them as a big brother and they loved him for that. My thoughts and prayers are going out to his family, wife and all the Gonor kids that grew up with Tim. Sending huge hugs to everyone, as the news of this loss is truly hard to comprehend. May you rest in peace our dear friend!!!! - Posted by: Ramona Joye (Neighbor, Childhood Friend & Co-Worker) on: Feb 03, 2015

• I was greatly saddened to hear the news of Tim's passing. Tim and I went all through school together. I have so many great memories of crazy but fun things we all did while growing up. So many people will be touched by his passing. He was always a great guy and he will be missed by so many, each having their own memories of him. condolences to the entire family. - Posted by: Sabrina Taylor (School friend) on: Feb 03, 2015

• Can't believe you are no longer with us - won't be the same without you. Such a reliable, decent human being - only the good die young. Condolences to Susan and the rest of your family. - Posted by: Heather (co-worker) on: Feb 03, 2015

• My cousin Timmy: How I remember the days when we competed in hockey both content on winning and seeing who was the best yet after the games we both would get together laugh and say good game. I remember running on the farm playing games and just having all out fun while once in a while giving one another a flying elbow and dealing with our moms on fault. I'm saddened to see you go so early cousin and will miss you, but know the fact you are in peace in the heavens above. My thoughts and prayers are with the family God made us cousins because he knew our mothers could not handle us as siblings - Posted by: Glenn (cousin) on: Feb 03, 2015

• Tim was an outgoing guy and made friends easy, very likable and honest striaght up guy. You will be sadly missed. My condolences to his family. To laugh often and much By Ralph Waldo Emerson To laugh often and much; to win the respect of the intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that one life has breathed easier because you lived here. This is to have succeeded. - Posted by: Gary.s (friend) on: Feb 03, 2015

• Habs will miss their #1 fan as will the playoff hockey pool members. Condolences to Susan, friends and family. Thoughts and prayers are with you all. - Posted by: Wes () on: Feb 03, 2015

• My heart prayers goes out to family. Tim was was such a special young man. My father Peter Sasley still talks of Tim in his young hockey days. Tim was the big brute on the ice, my dad was his coach. Dad laughs to this day about trying to get Tim off the ice!! That wasn't happening!! Tim was such a strong hockey player, bigger than everyone on the ice classroom but with his size there was this Gentle giant we all admired and looked up to. You touched so many people during your short life. We will miss you Tim, so sorry for the loss and pain your family and friends are experiencing. You will be held in highest esteem, always a special man - Posted by: Jeannie sasley (Youth friends ) on: Feb 03, 2015
