Mr. and Mrs. McMaster and family, Tim was a wonderful person who I had the pleasure of meeting at the Carriage House. He touched our lives here with his pleasant personality. Tim and I shared a wonderful memory; I also graduated from Thornridge High School in Dolton, Il. He will be sorely missed. My prayers and thoughts go out to your family. May God give you the strength you need in this time.
Tim, I’ll see you again!

Mr. and Mrs. McMaster and family,
Tim was one of those people who had love in his heart and always reached out to include everyone as part of his family of friends. He had a genuiness that is rare these days when everyone wants to present a image that they hope will impress other people rather than be who they really are, he was genuine, what you saw was never forced or pretentius it was just Tim.
Tim always had a comforting smile and a great sense of humor that helped everyone around him to be happy just like he was. He shall always be missed.
May God comfort your hearts and be with you in this time of great grieving and may you look forward to seeing Tim in his masters presence when we are all called home. God Bless You All.

Tim and I were members of the Carriage House together. He helped in my many moves with joy and caring. He told me he would miss me, as I was moving to Florida. I missed him a lot and was so sorry to hear of his death.
He was a treasure in my life.
