Barb and Willis - and all of Tim's family....I am so sorry - taken too young - but a valiant fight. He will be missed by all who knew him. He was a quality man I am honored to say I knew.

Please accept our condolences, we're so very sorry for the loss of this great guy.
Tim and I (Bill) go back a LONG way and I could not have asked for a better friend. He always greeted you with a smile and asked how you were doing. He really cared. I will miss him dearly. I will cherish all the good memories.

I can still remember Tim along with many of his friends standing in front of shop class in the hallway of LC Mohr. My friends and I would find reasons to have to walk past the line-up of "boys" to get a glimpse of whichever one was making our heart throb that week. Tim would always give us a great big smile and a nod as we walked by. Seems like it was just yesterday....how the years have flown and I hadn't heard he was fighting the disease. My heart goes out to his family and friends. It sounds like he was still just as kind later in life as he was when giving us silly girls a grin and a nod. I pray that in time you will all find peace in your memories of Tim.

Barb and Family, was very sad to hear about the passing of Tim. Knowing him, I am sure he fought a very hard battle against this unforgiving disease. I have a lot of good memories of working with him and the many debates involving Ohio State Football (great times). Please accept our sincere condolences during this difficult time. Rest in peace "Woody".

Barb and Willis we are so sorry for your loss. Everyone is going to miss him so much! Tim was such a great person and neighbor. Always willing to help us out not matter what you guys had going on if we were having trouble with something he would stop and always help us. Some of my best memories of Tim are watching him put up the Christmas lights, drinking beer in the driveway and yelling for Ohio State (which if you knew our street if they were playing MSU their was a lot of yelling coming from both houses). This past Christmas will always be a special memory for us on Bailey it was when Max went crazy about the Christmas lights and I looked at Tim and you he had that award winning smile on his face! Our street will never be the same but Tim will never be forgotten!! Even though we are the biggest MSU fans for Tim I will say GO BUCKS!! Love you both!

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Tim's family. I have not seen Tim in a couple of years,,but worked with him at Palisades for years. Very nice individual to work with and always looked forward to talking with him. Enjoyed his sense of humor,, I know he will be sorely missed by all his family and friends.

From AZ we were sad to hear of Tim's passing. We wanted to say that Tim and his family are in our thoughts and prayers during this hard time. It was always a pleasure working with Tim at Palisades or seeing him at one of the school sporting functions. May he rest in peace.

To the entire Dotson family,
I am Paula's co-worker, and I can honestly say, even though I never had the honor of meeting Tim and Barb, he was truly loved.
There was never a day that had gone by that she did not share a story, some little quirk that Tim and she had experienced during their many lunch times together.
Whatever our beliefs, our visions of life, here and beyond this world, I believe that there is something or someone waiting for us just beyond the sunset.
Rest in peace Tim, and may the entire Dotson family find comfort in each of their memories of you and the physical touch of friends and family.

It was heartbreaking to hear that Tim had passed away. When I first started working at Palisades, Tim was one of the people that really stood out as someone who would help anyone. He always had a smile. Please know that Tim continues to live on in the hearts and memories of the people whose lives he touched. He will always be with us.

Hi Barb, I was stunned to see that Tim Had passed away I did not know he was sick, It has given me that empty feeling inside that comes with an emotional shock. I still remember the last time I saw you guys all smiles in the convertible, and the times at the Moose Lodge.Its a very tragic thing , you guys were so good together, somehow the story should have had a better ending. I'm sorry for your loss, and the worlds loss. God Bliss. Jon and Gina Allison
