• When we ask how could death come to a young man we have to remember that these special people enter our lives for a short time to teach us love and patience-this is how we honour them-I only saw Tim and his lovely family at my son's home on Christmas eve and always admired how he could light up a room and make everyone feel comfortable-he and his family were best friends of my son, Kevin, Kim and especially son, Nick who loved him like a second father-my thoughts are with Jo-anne and her wonderful son and daughter and hope they have the strength to carry on without their special husband and father - Posted by: Betty Stire (friend) on: Oct 22, 2015

• My sincerest condolences to Tim's family during this most difficult time. I had the pleasure of coaching Tim with the St. Boniface Saints many years ago. Tim was a fine young man back then and he retained his outstanding qualities as he grew older. He always had a positive outlook on life and whenever we bumped into each other at a rink he would always bring me up to date on his family. He was very proud of his children and their accomplishments. I never bumped into him when he wasn't displaying his huge, infectious smile. A good man taken way too early. I am so sorry for your loss. - Posted by: Daryl Anning ((St. Boniface Saints Coach & Friend)) on: Oct 05, 2015

Overtime her goals changed from player to official but Tim never let her walk by without giving her his wise words of advise with that contagious smile before game time.

Joanne, Danick and Sophie our deepest sympathy and sincere condolences to you all at this very sad time. #Timsheartbeatson - Posted by: Shanna and Alexandria Williams (Friend) on: Oct 04, 2015

• There is not much left to add to all these wonderful condolences, tributes and memories. Everyone summed up Tim perfectly. I will surely miss playing golf with my golf partner, especially when he's on your team when playing amigos. He always took enough money off of us to pay for his golf. What amazing patience & tolerance putting up with my slices and hooks when playing the Alternate Shot tourney at St. B. He always managed to keep us in the running. Monique and I were so fortunate to share our recent winter-getaways with Tim & Joanne and needless to say how much fun that was spending that quality time with them. Man!!! Tim was so easy to get along with!!! I will miss him dearly and he will always have a spot in my heart. Until we meet again buddy. - Posted by: Guy Lambert (Bro-in-law) on: Oct 03, 2015

• On Friday September 25, my family and I lost one of our dear best friends and one of the greatest persons that we have ever had the privilege to know. He was one of the kindest ,patient men we have ever met. Kids loved him, adults were drawn to him,there wasn't a soul that didn't love him. We met Tim and Joanne one day at a soccer wind-up at our community club and from there we had an instant connection. We spent so many fun times together.........family vacations, grown-up vacations , dinners , long conversations about life, sad times and just intimate friend times. We will miss you so much and feel so honoured to have known you and called you a friend. You have left such a whole in our hearts. Thinking of you and your family who are going through so much. RIP Tim Vandale....till we meet again - Posted by: Nancy and Alan Dann and family (Family friend) on: Oct 02, 2015

• So sad and sudden. Tim will be sorely missed. Tim had spent many days as a little tyke watching me and my other friends play street hockey in Windsor Park. I was reunited with Tim years ago just prior to a suiting up to play a hockey game together. The moment we stepped on the ice and played defence together, we had one of those kinds of connections where we almost knew exactly what each of us were going to do before we did it. From those enjoyable moments of playing together onwards, we always tried to get together to play again, as Tim's focus became more on coaching and his family....A fiesty competitor on the ice, and a great person through and through. My condolences to Tim's family and friends. - Posted by: Peter Proskurnik (Friend) on: Oct 01, 2015

• Like a lot of people, my wife and I met Tim through hockey. He was a wonderful coach who encouraged and supported all his players no matter what their level of ability was. The boys and girls who were lucky enough to have had Tim for a coach will never forget him and neither will their parents. Tim had a way of making everyone feel at ease. His big grin and positive attitude were infectious. I can honestly say I never saw Tim in a bad mood. He was always up. The last time I saw him, he told me about Danick and Sophie's latest accomplishments. He was so proud of his family. What a terrible loss. Our hearts go out to Joanne, Sophie and Danick. - Posted by: Cam, Marnie and Danny McCullough (friends) on: Sep 30, 2015
