Dear Shauna, Jessica & Trevvor, Tim and I worked together at the Royal Bank of Canada in Montreal many, many years ago. I have some fond memories of our times together and they will always remain special in my heart. Tim would always bring laughter and joy to our department during the stressful times. What a great sense of humour he had. My deepest condolences go to each and everyone of you and my prayers are with you during this difficult time. Lancy Low

I was saddened to hear of Tim's passing. Although I have not crossed paths with Tim since university/highschool days etc. I was following Tim's battle with cancer through my fellow Friday night hockey friend Bruce Reid, a close friend of Tim's. Tim and I go way back to minor league baseball where Tim and I shared pitching duties for the all-star Woodstock team. We as well shared in the shenanigans of high school life at WCI. Your loss is shared by many.

It was with great sadness that I read of the passing of your husband, Shauna and your father, Jessica and Trevvor. Having left Paris, I am a little out of touch and was not aware that Tim had been recently unwell and I regret that I wasn't able to offer him some support in his battle with cancer. The measure of a great person is that they have left a positive impact on the people whose lives they have touched. Your husband and father was one of those people who will be remembered for his gentle spirit, his intelligence, his beautiful smile, and his love for his family. He always reminded me of my older brother and that was one of the reasons, I especially enjoyed our little chats when he was at the school. He will not be forgotten. You will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers and I know you will find the strength to continue this journey of life, not without your husband and father, but because of him. Jessica and Trevvor - Honour your father's memory by continuing to make good choices in life, loving and supporting your mom, and using your special gifts to make positive contributions to the people in the world in which we live. Please extend my sincere condolences to your family,especially Mr. and Mrs. Whitehead. I remember them from visits to the school. I am truly sorry that I am unable to offer my condolences in person this evening. A hug to all of you! Sincerely, Cathy Worosz

I remember Tim fondly as both my boyhood mentor and good-natured tormentor. When he was not explaining the intricacies of rocket aerodynamics (he had great plans to launch one) in eye-glazing detail, or coaching me through some byzantine chess moves, or dreaming up my less than flattering nicknames, then there was always time for Fear Factor-type athletic endeavours. I learned to throw the perfect spiral pass to Tim as hulking brother Mike bore down upon me with utter menace. And to catch Tim's furious fastball pitches, the ball exploding in my shaking catcher's mitt. I don't know if it was Tim's intention, but these and other sporting activities helped me learn to face fear head on! They certainly provided no end of amusement to the Whitehead brothers!! Those were wonderful times in our little Woodstock neighbourhood. I am very grateful to Tim and his family for those memories. As we live our lives, we encounter remarkable people who make an indelible impression. I would say that Tim was the first in that category for me. I am saddened to hear of his passing, and cannot imagine the feeling of loss that surely every member of his family is experiencing. I hope it will be some small comfort to them knowing that Tim made a difference to those lucky enough to have called him friend. Patrick

My sincere condolences to all of Tim's family. I went through WCI with Tim and he was always a great guy--fun, intelligent and very helpful. He tutored me in Grade 11 Math and I actually passed! We have lost contact since high school but please know that everyone thought very highly of Tim. He will be missed by all.

I met Tim only a few times though his work for MoneySense, but he immediately struck me as one of those rare people who are incredibly bright, yet don't take themselves too seriously. I wish I'd had the chance to get to know him better. I was saddened to hear of his passing, and just wanted to offer my deepest condolences to those he loved.

Tim was a wonderful man. He brightened every conversation, mixed sage insights with a goofy sense of humor, and made the world a better place simply by being himself. He was, quite simply, irreplaceable. All of us who worked with Tim at MoneySense are going to miss him terribly and our hearts and our prayers go out to Shauna and the kids.

I was saddened to hear of Tim's passing. My sympathy and prayers to you Shauna, Jessica and Trevvor. I am sorry for your loss. Tim was a very special person and a high school friend of mine from Woodstock Collegiate days. I will always remember his great sense of humour and imagination. I am fortunate to have known him, if even for a few short years.

Dear Shauna, Jessica and Trevvor: We were deeply saddened to hear of Tim's passing. Tim always knew how to make us laugh. We all have great memories of him. Many years ago Tim took pictures of Matthew playing a soccer game. Tim surprised us with copies of those pictures. Matthew keeps those in his scrapbook. We are making a donation to the Juravinski Cancer Clinic in Tim's name. We, ourselves spent a lot of time at the Juravinski Clinic last year when our oldest son, Robb, took Radiation Treatments. Our thoughts are with you.

Dear Shauna, I was devastated to hear the sad new of Tim's departure. My heartfelt condolences to you, Jessica and Trevor. May God rest his soul, and give you patience, strength and courage during this very difficult time. Tim was one of the most beautiful human beings I had the privilege of meeting and working with.

Dear Shauna, Jessica & Trevvor. You may not remember us aside from saying "hi" around Paris over the years, however, we first met when Trevvor and our son Aaron (Campbell) attended Paris Child Care together. We still remember the little gift you gave Aaron when his little sister (Taylor) was born in 1995. It was a mitt-washcloth in the shape of a little brown dog. We still have it! We were shocked and saddened to read of Tim's passing in the paper today. Although we didn't know your family well, we will remember Tim as someone who was always smiling and quick to say hello and stop for a chat when we saw him around town. We send our thoughts and prayers to you all at this difficult time. Sincerely, Ralph & Linda Bramer and family.
