Very saddened to hear of Tim's passing. My heart goes out to his family and many friends who will miss him as I do. Tim was a good friend who was tireless in his efforts to help restore historic properties in Cedar Rapids after the Flood of 2008. Every time I see the Gatto Building on Third Avenue SW I think of Tim's great success in helping save and preserve an important part of the history of the Kingston Village neighborhood.

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Tim. I met him as the city of Cedar Rapids was coming back from the flood of 2008. I admired his dedication to bringing back historic buildings and his calm, smart and dedicated demeanor. He added so much to our community. He will be greatly missed.

I met Tim right after he bought the Gatto Building on 3rd Ave. It was by faith we met. It used to be my step dad's building and I wanted to go thru it one last time. I called the city and the city told me Tim owned it now. I called him up and he agreed to meet me. He told me he was renovating it and that anything left I could have. I got some old card board signs and I asked him about the front door. He said of course! I got it the next year and he set it aside just for me. I will never forget that moment. A very stand up guy. God Speed Tim

Tim was a great guy and a real pleasure to work with. He was always willing to dig in and help anyone who asked for his expertise. Although I haven't seen him since he retired in 2008, it seems like it was just yesterday that I saw him at his retirement party. My condolences to his family. Tim will surely be missed.
