Thanks for always making time for us when I would come to town to visit. Thanks for all the fun and laughs when we were growing up . I’m sorry you left us so soon. I personally think you are the lucky one . You get to see your Mom (my Aunt Sandy) and Grandma Schober and the rest of our family there in heaven ! RIP Cousin your Schober sense of humor will be missed and always will be loved by many …. Give them all a hug and kiss from us … love you Timmy …
**bet playing in traffic up there isn’t as dangerous lol lol lol
My silly, funny, crazy, goofy, aggravating, handsome husband… What am I going to do without you to drive me up the wall? This was not supposed to happen, we were supposed to grow old together, welcome our new granddaughter in May, see our daughter Stasia off to her senior prom and watch her walk across the stage as she graduates in May.
But you decided to go and mess up our plans…
Our house is to quiet without you and I keep waiting for you to walk through the door and say “what do we got to eat”? It’s only been a little over 24 hours and I miss you like crazy…
My prayers are with you and the whole family at this time. I wish I could be there but know that you are in my prayers
Tim , my friend you will be missed I love walking into a room, knowing you’re the loudest guy and I could yell at you from across the room just to get a reaction. But we all knew beyond the tough exterior that you had a heart of gold. Enjoyed laughing with you daily and your perspective. I too would love another conversation/laugh and I know that one day we’ll have it again Until then my friend know you will be missed.

Tim, it was a complete shock to read about your passing. It goes without saying that you will be missed by everyone of us who had the pleasure of being ridiculed, questioned, embarrassed, called out, threatened, laughed and yelled at by you!! HOWEVER, we are the same people that you would come to our defense and do anything for any of us, if needed. I know that there will be a day in the future when we will play poker where I will take down another large pot, on the river with a 7-2 off suite….. God bless your family during this time of grief and loss

Beautiful words, thank you for that. He truly loved all of his poker peeps.
I have known you since I was 13. I was sitting in front of Linda’s house on Newport and you and Ray came out of his house across the street and walked over and that is the day we met. My parents weren’t too excited that my boyfriend was 16 and I was 13. Lol.
Nonetheless, we started our journey of friendship on that day. Now 40 years has gone by and we have two handsome sons and our first granddaughter Victoria that will be here in May. How sad I am that you will not be here for that! I got this annd I will make sure she will know her Grandpa Tim! And although we weren’t meant to stay married. I gained a beautiful addition to what we started with Toni and Anastasia. I was always there for you and you were always there for me to most likely nag at you about something. We remain friends, not only for our sons, but because we were friends. Thank you for always being there for me when I needed you, and I believe you did that out of respect because I was the mother of your children. It’s not goodbye it’s I’ll see you later
Beautiful words Marsha,
When I met, fell on love and married Tim I gained two amazing son’s that I love with all my heart, two beautiful daughter n law’s… two ready made granddaughters and Soon to be baby #3 Victoria May…
With that being said I also was blessed with the who Howe family who from day one welcomed my daughter and I into your family with open arms like I was always there.
My 4 year old daughter who had lost her daddy/my first late husband of over 20 years gained a dad, two big brothers, five aunts, a lot of uncles (lol) a bunch of cousins, the best Pop Pop a little girl could ever ask for and a grandma Sandy just in your family alone…
With that being said falling in love with Tim I gained the Schober family, the Lange Family and his amazing Walsh Racing family also.
I wasn’t fortunate enough to be around to meet his dad, Ray but I’ve heard so many stories I feel like I’ve known him my whole life.
I never met Tim’s mom but I love to hear the stories of all the funny she did and how much she was loved and when I look at my youngest son Shawn I feel like I can see her image in him.
Stasia and I gained a wonderful mother n law/grandma in Joan Lange, Tim’s Step mother who’s done so much for Tim, Stasi and there words to say how greatfull I am for her being in our lives.
Thirteen years with Tim has felt like a lifetime and though he’s only been gone a very short time it too feels like a lifetime to my heart.
I will hear him say to our daughter “Cheif your wearing my shirt” or hear him and our boys call each other “Cheif” over and over and in one long winded conversation… lol!
I won’t ever hear him call “Love Cakes” ( “I hated that”)
Or yell for me to “Come Quick” because he couldn’t see just to find out he put his glasses on up side to make me laugh and then ask me to make hin something to drink.
Never hearing him say “night, love you” again before we go to bed will not keep me from saying it to him but I think what I will miss the most is having him aggravating me at least once a day…
My daughter has lost two dad’s at the age of 17 and I’ve now been widowed twice at the the age of 55 but as I stop and think to myself “(how will I go on without him)” I say to myself “I will do it with and for our three kids, our three granddaughters (one on the way) and with the love of my family, my Howe family, my Schober family, my Lange family, my race car family, and all of his poker family, his Rat Rod family and all the friends we have who love us.
It was the day he fed me Jello while I was laying in a hospital bed and he came to visit me…
That was the day My heart fell for his…
Tim, I hope you are up there playing pool, racing cars, playing poker and enjoying some nice sunny weather! We had so many good times years and years ago-all of us hanging out-pool halls, Florida, Lindbergh, Gateway, and many garages working on those race cars! I will carry all those memories with me. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.
Beautiful words about my husband, thank you Jim…
He LOVED his poker guys…
1975 – the beginning to meet Mr Tim when he was age 7 and wonderful memories since!! Wonderful son, husband, father, nephew, close cousins AND a new grand baby on the way! Great fun family & fun friends! Doesn’t always happen like that! That’s a Blessing! Hey to Grandpa Ray & Grandma Esther. See ya next time! ✌️❤️
I met you over 32 years ago and you were one of the first people I beat out of money on a pool table. You always alluded to that very day and I always got a kick out of it because you said your kids wouldn’t get Christmas gifts that year LOL. I met many great friends in the pool room but you were definitely one of my favorites. You were always happy to see me when we ran into each other through out the years and I was too. I will miss the occasional dinners and casino trips we had. Thank you for all the great times we all had. Until we meet again my friend.
