Tim had such an easy going, good sense of humor and a kind heart. May the good memories strengthen you and may God’s love surround you. With much love to you all.
I first met Tim when he worked for Pick’s Fine Foods Restaurant. He later became one of us, a police officer for The Village, where he retired as a Captain.
Tim was a quiet, caring person who didn’t get excited when it came to police work. He thought things through and handled situations carefully. Even though I retired from The VPD long before Tim, I always admired his patience and caring nature when it came to his job.
My heartfelt condolences go out to his family and especially his brother, Paul who I worked with and continues to oversee The Village PD. May God be with you during this time of sorrow. My prayers are with you.

My thoughts and prayers are with Sandy and the whole family. Some of my best times at VPD were spent working on shift with Tim. Rest In Peace, Brother.
My friendship with Tim goes back several years when he first started working for my parents as a busboy at their restaurant. Our paths continued crossing when I married a Village Police officer and then Tim
was hired on the department. We shared many adventures and memories and just this last couple weeks we were Sharon’s messages with past photos I had come across in our early years. Like everyone, his humor, loyalty and personality will be greatly missed. God speed til
We meet again. Kim Picken Stubbs and Bob Stubbs
Jeff, Phillip and Tim grew up together and had a great friendship. A lot of hearts have been broken with the lose of Tim, but they will heal overtime and our memories will grow even bigger of how much fun we had (Picks Fine Foods Reunion at Thunderbird Lake, Trip to Las Vegas and many poker games). You will be greatly missed and our thoughts and prayers are with Sandy and family.
Rest In Peace Tim Love Jeff and Nancy Winans
What a great man. Tim will be missed greatly by all who knew him.
Tim had the ability to touch everyone he came in contact with; a gift that is quite rare. Whether you were meeting him for the first time or had known him for years, you were immediately at ease and comfortable in his presence. His love of life, his family, his career, and his passions were a joy to watch. His loss will leave a deep hole in our hearts & our lives, but having known him truly made all of us better. I am thankful to have shared part of life’s journey with him as a co-worker and friend.
My deepest condolences to all of the Kinman family .

We were so shocked and saddened to hear of Tim’s passing. He and I worked together at The Village PD for years, and shared many laughs both on and off duty. His sense of humor was unforgettable. He was a credit to his department and the community he served, and his family can be very proud of that service.
I also enjoyed his original music and had the good fortune of tinkering around with that music with him from time to time and even harmonizing with him on a few occasions. His talent was undeniable.
Tim has left us with an abundance of pleasant memories, and I am thankful to have been his friend. Our hearts, our prayers and our love are with Sandy and all his family.
