I had the utmost pleasure of playing baseball with Tim for Beckman High School. I especially remember Tim's kindness, smile and humble confidence in the dugout and was absolutely amazed and awed with his natural athletic ability, baseball IQ and performance on the diamond and at the plate. I know its been a few years since his death, but the invitation(of the 1986 State Baseball Champions) to be recognized and honored during the celebration of The Dyersville Commercial Club's 100th Anniversary stirred up many GREAT Beckman memories for me. Also, the many memories with Tim. And, sadly, the memory of his tragic death. I express my sincerely condolences to Tim's family and all who played with and new him. Tim is a genuine Champion!
