So sad to hear about Tim's passing. He was a co-worker but a friend as well. Tim was very sharp and was a true asset to me in the printing industry. I always enjoyed his dry wit and he put up with me even though I drove him crazy sometimes. I'm glad I got the chance to work with him and get to know him. He took pride in his job and in caring for his grandson. He will be dearly missed!

I'm devastated to find out Tim lost his battle with cancer. I'm devastated that I didn't get to say goodbye or to tell him what an impact he had on me. I met Tim through work but he takes a place in my heart as a friend. He was such a hard worker who knew so much about his skill which was very impressive. I was even more impressed with his baking skills which I had the fortune of getting to taste every time he'd bring me a plate. He was always so thoughtful. If there was ever a special on fruits or vegetables somewhere, he'd be considerate enough to bring over any extras into the office. He was one of a kind. Not only will I miss his special treats but I'll miss all his end of the week jokes that he'd send to me. We had the same sense of humor and that made the jokes even better because of how crazy they could be. Tim, I hope you know what a great guy you were and how you will be missed here on Earth. I am sad you're gone but hope you're no longer in pain or discomfort.
I'll cheer extra loud for the Chiefs for you this year, my friend. Rest easy.

My condolences go to the family. I had the pleasure of working with Tim from 2020 until 2024. We could talk about just anything from BBQ to Basketball. Ever the great supporter of his Kansas Jayhawks. I am sure he is smiling ear to ear up there knowing that his University of Kansas Jayhawks are ranked #1 this season. He surely will be missed.

I remember playing basketball with Tim in the 8th grade with Henry Murphy as our coach. Our main offensive play was to get it to Tim to get the basket. He was very talented in every sport, yet was always very modest regarding his abilities. I know he will be sorely missed

My condolences to Tim´s family. We were best friends through high school. Tim, Cindy, Pam, and I had many great memories together. I drove Cindy to the hospital for Jennifer to be born. If you had Tim Walter for a friend you would never have a better friend. Rest in peace my good friend! Dean Christy

Tim was a classmate of mine as I arrived in a new school setting. He was a good soul and always treated others the way he would want to be treated. He was great in sports, and a quiet guy, never trying to be a show off or bully. With Godspeed my friend.

Tim Walter was one of the kindest, gentlest and most helpful people I have met in my entire life. I worked with him between 2009 and 2014. A great human being and one to be emulated in life. God Bless you and your family.
