Tim was a unique individual and valued colleague. I will especially miss his intelligence and quirky sense of humor; he would frequently find a way to make me laugh and brighten the day. We shared several interests and I have many fond memories of our time working together. My deepest condolences to Tim’s family on your loss and may you find strength and peace in your memories of him. We will all miss Tim.
Thank you for being an awesome professor! I really enjoyed your class and all of our conversations. I’m so happy I got to stop in and talk to you one last time after I graduated. You were easy to talk to and always showed your passion for what you were teaching. You were one of my favorite professors at Ferris. You will be missed 🙏🏼 I’ll be praying for your family and friends as they mourn your loss.
Tim was a wonderful man, I worked at the College of Business with him. The students really enjoyed him!!! He taught the capstone class for the college from my department while I was there also. I wish you peace and love at this time of sorrow in your family. Karen Ottobre
Tim was a valued colleague who cared deeply about his students and his fellow faculty at Ferris State University. My office was beside his in recent years, and I always enjoyed our banter in the hallway. He will be deeply missed. My sincere sympathy to his family and his many friends.
Susan K. Jones, Professor of Marketing Ferris State University
Bill, I am sending sympathy thoughts your way from the Willshire Class of 56 and 57 in the loss of your son. I miss seeing you and Betsy at the Willshire Alumni gatherings.
