I was so sorry to hear the news about Timm's passing. I can only imagine the pain you are in. I was fortunate enough to have know Timm and your family through Tom and I cherish those memories. Timm was always so kind and jovial and so special to Tom. I shall keep you all in my thoughts and wish for peace and healing. Janet D.

Gina and family, I send my heartfelt sympathies. I can't even imagine how great your loss must feel. I couldn't pass the opportunity to send you my condolences and prayers. I'm pretty sure the last time I saw either you or Timm was on graduation day. But, I do recall the special bond the two of you had. I hope your family will find immense comfort in the memories you all created together. As difficult as loss is...there is joy found in the nostalgia of the life you created together. -blessings...Doris (Morgan) Swanson

My deepest condolences to the Minor family. Much love and prayers go out to you.

I first met Timm about 50 years ago when we played our last year of Little League together for Teamsters Local 695 at East Madison Little League behind Oscar Mayers. Many years and beers later, I still have the same respect for him as I did back then. Timm was a great athlete, which he would often subtly remind you of years later when reminiscing about our glory days, but he was more importantly a great human being who truly cared for and helped others when in need, especially his family and friends. I always admired and respected Timm for his quick witt and sense of humor as well as his courage. He was truly a one-of-a-kind! I haven't seen much of him the last few years, and I truly regret not connecting with him before he passed. His very well written obituary captured him well, and I know he will be dearly missed by many. To Gina and the rest of Timm's family, I pray for God's Peace to all of you in this very difficult time of loss. Most Respectfully, Al Hoffmann

My deepest sympathy to Gina and Delores and all of Timm's family. I knew Timm through his brother John, who was my best friend at DOT. Their love for each other was so deep. I have thought about the Minor family often over the years, knowing you are a special family with deep love for each other. I am so sorry for your loss.

Gina and family, My heart breaks for all of you but hold on to the great memories because I know there were many. Timm was a kind and considerate soul and will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Breah and family, Losing a parent is an unimaginable pain. Lean on the love and strength of family and friends as you navigate this difficult journey. May you find comfort in the cherished memories you shared with your dad!!! Chris Loss

My sincere condolences. I worked with Timm at MGE for 20+ years, mainly filing his gas rate sheets with the Public Service Commission. My favorite rate filings were those that had deadlines, and for those, Timm could be a true procrastinator. I think he liked that. Either I'd run down to his desk, tapping my foot while waiting for him to get done, or he'd come running up to mine, just in the nick of time, giving me profuse apologies. I believe you call those "Timm-isms." I've heard many of them, and they always made me laugh. They still do. I will miss him.

Timm will be missed dearly by so many of us who loved him. I fondly recall our adventures to Canada and road trips to Northern Wisconsin. My time spent with Timm has provided so many fun and hilarious memories. He touched many lives; people gravitated to Timm. The news of his passing hits hard... it's awful. Sincerest condolences to his family. Joe Minor

My heartfelt condolences to my aunt Delores, Gina and the Minor family. Tim and I shared many good times fishing and hunting. I'll miss you Tim. Jim Wilke

I was shocked and saddened to hear the news of Timm's passing. Such a sweet, and funny guy. Gina and the girls; I hold you in my heart, and wish you peach on the days moving forward. Such a tremendous loss!

Gina, Katie, Breah, and Erica, and families. I'm so very sorry for your loss. All of you will be in my thoughts and prayers as you begin and continue this journey of grieving. Be kind and gentle to yourselves and each other! As each of you grieve in your own way! Deepest condolences! Dorothy Vesperman

I babysat Timmy, Johnny and Lynn. He was the sweetest kid.. all 3 Minor kids were! I didn't know him as an adult, but I'm sure he was a fine man.

Gina, my heart aches for you and the girls and all of us who loved Timm. He was more than a friend to me. He was a brother to me. I will miss so many things about him, including his humor. He could make me laugh so hard I would almost wet my pants. My memories are full of so many good times with him, but I will never forget "Dyno" being there for me when I was going through hard times. He was always there for me. Those memories are just as precious as all the good times. I can't tell you how much that meant to me, how much his friendship meant to me.

Dear Delores, Lynn, Gina, kids, relatives, and friends. I am so sorry to hear of Timm's passing. You have my deepest sympathy and condolances ! I am a old friend of the Family. Our connections were Church, Yahara Fishing Club, Common Friends, Sports, Fishing, Hunting, Football, and Baseball. Timm had a great spirit and we were Varsity Baseball Teamates at East HS. I looked up to Timm because of his great Athletism and competivness on the field and he was a upper classman by a year. Our Dad's were buddies the two Jack's. We Ice fished on Lake Mendota together and near each other many times. We all grew up here on the Northside of town. I still live on Windom Way in the old neighborhood. Timm and I drifted apart after HS. I am happy he and Gina got married and have a wonderful Family. Our prayers are with you all ! Sincerely : Steven J. Hurst

Gina, I am very sad to hear of your loss. I was never a part of yours and Tim's life, but I thought of you two often through out my live and have always envied Tim's talent as an athlete. His memories have and always will be with me. My condolences to you and your family. Mike McCredie, Class of 1978

My condolences go out to the entire Minor family. I worked with Timm for 23 years before I retired from MGE in 2021. We often would take time to talk about our families or the great outdoors, l will miss him - Jeff Larson

Gina and family - From a neighbor just around the corner on Forge Dr. - I am so very sorry for your loss. We have met through my nephew and his wife - Greg and Nancy Beale, and remember Timm's great sense of humor and funny stories. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Cherish the memories to help you through this and in going forward. Deanna Esser

I worked with both Timm and Ryan for many years. Timm was always cheerful, helpful, and upon my return to office after Covid, one of the first people I saw, and remembered me, and said hello. He will be greatly missed. Lisa Walton

Our sincere condolences go to you Gina, Katie, Breah, Erica and the entire Minor family. We are so very sorry for your loss and sad to hear of Timm's passing! I've known Timm for over 35 years from the time he took a rate analyst position at the Public Service Commission - then joined me later when I went to work at Madison Gas and Electric Company. Through those years we worked together and shared a lot about our lives' journeys along the way - through many twists and turns, high roads and low roads and even some course corrections! I will remember Timm for how much he loved and took care of family and friends, his witty sense of humor, his encouragement when I was going through rough patches in my life and his many life stories. I heard Timm's tales many times over the years and many of them brought a much needed chuckle at the time. I will remember the times we had together warmly and miss Timm very dearly.

Gina and family, I am so sorry for this huge loss. Praying you are comforted by all the love that surrounds you.

So sorry to hear about Timm. My heart goes out to Gina and sll of his family.

Dear Gina, Katie, Breah, Erica, My heart is heavy with sorrow for your loss. Timm was not just an exceptional father, but also a significant presence in my early life when I moved to Madison. His warmth, wit, and profound care for his family left an indelible mark on me, something I deeply admired and will always cherish. I fondly recall the lighthearted teasing and spirited conversations about sports, a testament to his love for the game and the joy it brought him. His absence leaves a void that will be profoundly felt by all who knew him. Please know my thoughts and deepest sympathies are with you during this difficult time. With heartfelt condolences, love from the Wades.

Timm was my first friend at Sherman school. The longest friendship of my life. If Timm was your friend you could count on him for, loyalty, generosity, listening to you, and LOTS OF FUN AND LAUGHS! If I hadn't talked or seen him in a while, it didn't matter. When we got together it was the same old friendship we always shared. I miss him already. All my love and prayers to Gina and the whole family ❤️

We want to express our deepest condolences to Gina-girls & the entire Minor family. The Minor family came in to our lives 10yrs ago, when Tim was in his nephew, Ryan and my daughter, Annie's wedding. Since that time we've celebrated some family memories together. He always, and his family made us feel welcome. He always loved to share stories with me about the special bond he had with Ryan is a very difficult journey that takes us through the rest of our lives. We hope that you can find comfort in all those great memories to get you through during those difficult days and times thoughts and prayers to the entire family. Mike and Patti Bailey

Tim was always a great friend. He always had great advice. He will be deeply missed by all. RIP Timm. Lisa Zintz Murphy

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time Gina. Amanda Austin

So sad to hear this news. I worked with Timm for 16 years. He was always so patient explaining difficult calculations he prepared with all the details whenever I had questions.

Timm was a terrific, unique man. Physically powerful and talented, with remarkable achievements, yet mild as a Teddy Bear and as humble as they come -- with a great sense of humor as the cherry on top. My life has been better for knowing him. It was also inspiring to see Timm and Gina together. A relationship *obviously* filled with love and joy. My most sincere condolences to Gina and the entire family. Dan Jardine

I cannot express our grief adequately. I considered Timm my brother from another Mother. He was on every fishing and hunting trip I ever took to Canada. Those stories are to numerous to tell here. We loved hearing him tell his tales. He is irreplaceable in my life.

Gina, Katie, Breah, and Erica, our hearts are breaking for you all. We have many fond memories as neighbors and are sending our love and thoughts to you during this difficult time. Love, Greg and Nancy Beale, Nick, Justin, and Jordan

Gina and Family -- I had the honor of working with Timm at MGE these past 11 years. Really enjoyed his dry sense of humor! He and I didn't know it at the time, but we were arch rivals during our high school days (Timm at East, me at West). We reminisced about that last year. I added a photo here, a reprint of a 1977 WI State Journal "End of Year High School Sports Highlights" article; you'll see Timm listed there in the center column with all of his sports accomplishments and records. May Timm rest in peace. Sending peace and light to Timm, Gina and their entire family. In sympathy, Dave Benforado

I'm sorry for your loss. I worked with Timm at MGE. He was helpful in explaining the gas rates in a way that we could make it easier for customers to understand. Always took time to answer my questions. Sonjia Short

So sad to read about this young, accomplished man who was an EHS graduate. Condolences to his family.

Gina and family. I am so truly sorry to hear this news. May your love and sweet memories give you some comfort.

Breah and Family, My sincerest condolences go out to you. Please know he is now safe in the Lord's hands. Much love to all of you. Jill Murray

I met Timm during our freshman year of high school. We had 3 classes together. Everyone was at the school dance on a Friday night. Timm walked over to me and asked me to introduce him to my "pretty friend with red hair " He met Gina that night and never looked back. Gina and Timm have been a part of my life for most of my life. I'm really going to miss him. Viki (Ross)

Dear Gina and family, I am sincerely sorry for your profound loss. May the wonderful memories you have of Timm help navigate you through your grief. Sending love and prayers of peace. Laura Knoche
