  1. Tim was one of my favorite students. A true gentleman. All of the York girls were lovely too. God bless you all. Wishing you many happy, long lasting memories of your brother. Hugs & belated condolences.

  2. I was saddened to hear of Tim’s departure. Always looked forward to seeing him each year at the office for his Ag exemption. He was a gentleman of few words but his smile lit up the room. I have missed seeing him and knowing now I will not see that smile again leaves an emptiness in my heart. God Bless the family and our land.

  3. So saddened to hear about Tim’s passing. I remember him as a slim youngster on Decker Road. Always the farmer and a bundle of energy. My condolences to the whole family.

  4. So sorry for the whole family. I was just visiting this past weekend heading up decker road with my wife from the lake To visit my sister Lisa and Butch.. Remembering Tim and his sisters and of course his mom and dad. Lots of wonderful memories as we were neighbors! He will be missed by so many! So much time working and building the farm and care of animals and the land. We were so fortunate to have had them as friends ! My father was allowed to cut wood and hunt on the York’s farm too. I remember seeing Tim only take out his white with blue trim Shelby twice! It’s all different there now. Houses everywhere. The land is divided up some now but I can still remember how it was. We will always remember you Tim Yorks!
