Happy Heavenly Birthday Tim,

Enjoy chatting with the angels. Maybe they'll serve angel food cake for your birthday? Apparently there is a difference between angel food cake versus sponge cake. Who knew.

Peace to you.

Happy Heavenly Birthday, dearest Tim. I imagine my mom and Mimi Meinkoth made you a great dinner and birthday cake in heaven. And you're playing bridge with Martha and Millie and Mom, and celebrating all day with Barry and Terry Pratchett and your other friends and loved ones. Love you and miss you so much! Mom

Happy Birthday, Tim! We miss you so much. We celebrated with a yummy dinner followed by three different desserts. I think you would have loved it. After dinner, we went to the beach, the ocean being so important to you. We think of you often.

Oh, Tim. Sweet, wonderful, outlandish, generous and loving Tim. Can it really be two years? How much I miss you! Time has eased some of the sadness, and I feel a sense of peacefulness more often. You are forever cherished and celebrated. Love, Mom

We went to the beach the other night in memory of Tim. The ocean was Tim's place to play and also, I think, a place of solace for him. We still miss him so much.

My dear, dear friend Tim: Just discovered that you had died. Every New Years we exchanged a long email, but this year, I missed you. Now I know why. I remember all those times at Club Casablanca: you up on the roof, me in the back office. And later, huddling under the blankets in the cold on Calvin Street when there was no oil to fire the furnace, eating pate and drinking diet coke. So many memories on the beach in MA, with a new puppy in tow. Later on, on Bond Street in Somerville, you, brushing the soil from wild mushrooms from Russo's, me, toasting brioche to eat with the heavy cream and morels. I miss you more than you can know: although I didn't get to see you much after you left for Australia, those random, wonderful visits always warmed my heart. I am so sad to know that you have left us, you delightful spirit. But you will always live in my heart.

We sorely missed our annual birthday calls with Tim and a catch up on all the doings on both continents. We lit a candle for Tim and thought deep and funny thoughts, which I think he'd appreciate. More good cooking, and some quilt work, with Tim's sage advice from his grandmother, when the quilt blocks weren't all quite straight, "it'll all come out in the wash." Keeps me going on all kinds of fronts. Love to all of us who hold Tim dear.

Today would have been your 60th birthday, Sweetie. It's hard to put into words how much we miss you and love you. Chris is making a special dinner tonight and I'll be baking a cake in your honor. Hope you're having a great birthday party up in heaven with Barry and Bucky and Sioux and Martha and Bob and Dorothy, playing bridge and laughing, and having a wonderful time. Love you to pieces, dearest Tim.

Tim, I've been thinking about you all week. It's still hard to believe that you are gone. We spread some of your ashes in the ocean on the 10th knowing how much you loved being in the water. May you be happy wherever you are.

Dearest Tim, can it already be a year since you left this world? All this week we've been honoring you and talking about you and eating all kinds of food you liked. We went to the beach this evening and had a lovely walk. I stopped and drew a big heart in the sand and wrote "We love you, Tim". And we miss you so much. I hope you're body surfing in warm water, or making some fabulous dinner for your friends up in heaven, or playing bridge with Martha. You're one of a kind, my dear love. Love you to pieces!❤️

Still missing you, Sweetie. We ate some fabulous food the other day and thought, Tim would LOVE this. It's always better to share good food.
In my heart, dear guy.

Dearest Tim, today was really difficult. It's the first birthday of yours without you and I miss you so very much. We had an online celebration of your life recently and lots of your family and friends were there. We heard many wonderful and funny stories that we hadn't heard about you. You were so funny and kind and outrageous. You brought so much joy and laughter into people's lives. And you were so brave and courageous. I hope you're having a wonderful time wherever you are, maybe hanging out with your dear friends who left before you. Here's to you, my wonderful son.

Happy Birthday Tim! We miss you so much and hope that you are having a happy day. Perhaps you are playing bridge with Bob, Dorothy and Martha, or maybe you are having a fun chat with Terry Pratchett, or maybe you are having a nice walk at the beach with Bucky.

Tim, you are just like your Aunt Stephanie, and hope you both see each other in heaven and celebrate your first birthday there. You both were wonderful people and are deeply missed by many

I met Tim in about 1985, when I hired him at a small restaurant management company in Harvard Square. He was smart, funny, irreverent, and pushed every boundary I can think of (none of which I will mention here), and I enjoyed every minute working with him. There were times we laughed so much, I’m not sure how we got any work done!
We lost touch after both leaving that company, and only reconnected a few years ago via Facebook. I am amazed at all that he accomplished since I knew him so many years ago.
I am so sad to hear of his passing, and I celebrate the life he created. Rest in Peace.

I met Tim when we both worked at vinnies. He was kind, generous, and had a wicked sense of humour. Always full of good cheer and a sympathetic ear. That was years ago now but I still feel like he is one infectious smile away. Rest In Peace my friend!!

I met Tim in Boston when he was about 19, and i was about 43. He had moved into my neighborhood, and we shared many interests as we walked through to home. When he went to Sydney to complete his medical training, i went down for a visit, and that continued for visits over the years as he moved toward the beach at Maroubra in Sydney. I went about every two years, and we explored Australia, hiked up mountains, swam in the surf, cooked on the grill. About 40 years of love and adventure. I think of him every day and know he has arrived at the Pearly Gates with a smile. Love goes on.

Tim's kind spirit will always be alive in our hearts, with memories and all the good he passed on in his life.
  I didn't actually get the opportunity to meet Tim but still feel like I knew him over the years hearing about him from Tina & Chris. I had great respect for his life pursuits.

Tim and I met taking our premed classes together. He was kind, smart, funny, goofy, intense and lighthearted, honest and candid.  My favorite memories are of him (and his mom) dressed up in crazy outfits, with the thinnest of excuses for doing so.  He and Nikki kindly hosted my husband and (jet-lagged!) baby in Sydney, and arranged a beautiful hot-air balloon ride (with him as our babysitter). So sad to hear he's gone. Such a kind soul. We love you, Tim, and you're still alive with all of our memories of the joy you shared with us.

While I did not know Tim personally, I knew about him through my friend, Tina, who spoke about him with such pride and love. I can only imagine what an amazing man he must have been given how loving Tina and Chris are. My heart breaks for all who have loved him and pray you will cherish your times with him always.

Tim is my second cousin, but I met him through a genealogy message board. I had never met my St Louis Ramacciotti family and really missed that. My father had even stayed with Tim's grandfather when he came to the US from Italy as a 16 year old. Then, like magic, there Tim was and we shared memories and photos, and pictures of Italy, where we began to plan a big visit just before covid hit. We would visit family and cemeteries, and see the sites and eat fabulous Italian food, or so we hoped. We met in person the first time to have dinner with Tina and Chris, a fabulous time in Moss Landing, CA. He came to visit, we emailed and called, and shared sad memories and many laughs. I am so incredibly sad he isn't on the other end of the phone now, but am grateful for every second we had together. Love you Tim.

Dear, dear Tim. We miss you. Your laughter, jokes, encouragement, willingness to take and make adventures, and generous heart. All of it.
Go with love, dear man.

Tim always impressed me with his generosity and kindness. Once when we visited him in Australia he flew us first class to Cairns, Queensland. We drove up the coast and stayed in a condo near the beach. The next day we took a cruise out to the Great Barrier Reef to snorkel. It was amazing with all the tropical fish and coral formations. Tim so loved sharing with others the things that he enjoyed and that he thought they would as well. He is dearly missed.

I met Tim a few years ago..........just in passing, for a few hours. His mother, Tina is one of my dearest friends, so I learned of Tim from her.
The moment Tim entered the room, he brought with him love and light, humor......Just for the short time with Tim, he made an indelible mark on me and I will never forget him!

Tim was one of my longtime friends from Greenfield, Ma. I loved him dearly and I feel such a loss now that he has left this planet. He was the kindest, most compassionate man I ever met. He would hold my hand when I cried or make me laugh so hard I would snort, which made us laugh more. I treasured our deep conversations and the wisdom he shared with me.
Some of my favorite memories are: he brought me to see Rocky Horror picture show in Amherst at midnight my first time and taught me to do the Time warp, he would ride the bus from Cambridge to Greenfield with a frozen Uno pizza in time for dinner, and visiting him for the International AA convention in Seattle. I became friends with his friends and we had so much fun seeing the city, hiking Mt Rainier, seeing Mt. St Helens, watching fireworks off the bridge, and attending many meetings together. Tim was the last person I drank with, 38 years ago. He knew many of my secrets & character defects and was my biggest cheerleader in sobriety. He was a friend for life. Save me a seat at the big meeting in the sky Hoser! All my love, your Kitty Hoser.

I met Tim in Seattle many years ago at a World Conference. We talked and laughed. We went out for supper and each of us ordered Weiner Schnitzel. The name of that menu item sounded so funny, we both laughed throughout the meal.

I recently saw his resume online and was so impressed by his accomplishments and leadership.

His passing at such a young age is a reminder to me to not take the drama of every life so seriously. Rather I will enjoy each day, each moment to the fullest. I will stay present and grounded. Peace to his family and friends.

This year has been a year of sadness as we have lost both my Bride and Tim in the first four months of the year. Both of these individuals were kind and sincere in everything that they did. We will miss their bright smiles and the laughter that they brought into our lives. We share your grief Tina, and am praying that you and your family will find comfort in God and others. We live in hope of seeing our loved ones again at the Resurrection with completely healed bodies.

I, too, only met Tim one time and it was at Aunt Dorothy and Uncle Bob's 60th anniversary in Kansas. He sat next to me during dinner and we had the most enjoyable evening. He was a very, very interesting young man and I have thought of him fondly many times over the years. May his soul and all the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace, Amen.

Only met Paul one time at the St. Louis airport. I certainly enjoyed my visit with him and appreciated all the research and contacts i was given.
I certainly know Paul was a most sincere person. I only wish he was still around like most of us.
May the blessings of God shine on him and his wonderful family.

One of my favorite memories of Tim was when he flew from Sydney, Australia to our home in California just to surprise me on Mother's Day. He was such a generous and loving person. He will never be forgotten.

Tim exuded his love of life, the joy of being alive. He was courageous and had the spirit of an explorer. I will try to incorporate his spirit each day, and show kindness to others as he did for so many others.
