Scoop was the best friend that a man could have and I will miss him greatly. Love you, Brother.
There are so many things that come to mind when thinking about Tim. Ever since I met this incredible family , they have been nothing but the best to me. Over the years, there are too many memories and too many laughs that have been shared. Tim's chicken dance, being one of the absolute best. Another great memory of Tim is when me and Maggie skipped school one day in high school and he found out. Later in the day, me and Maggie were discussing some sort of math problem and we couldn't figure it out. Leave it to Tim to yell at ME (not Maggie) about how MAYBE I would have known the answer if I wasn't skipping school. Tim always treated me like I was one of his own kids which made me love him like a father. Everyday after school, Mag and I would come home and listen to Tim's stories of whatever was going on that day whether it be the dogs making him mad or he just needed someone to vent to. Even when Maggie wasn't home, I knew that if I needed a place to go to clear my head or someone to talk to, I was always welcome in the Snyder house and Tim would always listen to me. The love that this family has given me in the past years is a blessing. I will miss always hearing the familiar call of "STALACE, what's up?!" every time I entered the house. I will miss watching him play with his granddaughters. I will miss how he always knew the BEST shows on TV. I will miss his assortment of Harley Davidson shirts. I will miss how he was (almost) always willing to share his secret stash of chocolate with me and then get on my case when it steadily disappeared. I will miss his goofiness and his love. No words can express how grateful I was to have him in my life. I know he's up there looking down on us. Thank you for always welcoming me with open arms, Tim. Maggie, Cindy, and Zak I will always love you guys like my own family.
I've known Tim since Zach and Samantha started dating 12 years ago. Through the years Tim made me laugh so many times with his stories and jokes he would tell, that he keeps making me laugh now still thinking of all those times. Whenever Tim came into a room you knew it because of his endearing laugh and glowing smile. But these last three years have meant the most to me with Tim because I have had the privelage of being able to see him with our granddaughters, Madison and Zoey, with him. Tim was the most loving, most caring, most "hands on", and funnest Pappy. He would scoop up Madison in his arms and carry her around. He would sing to her and rock her in his recliner and watch her favorite show "The Wonder Pets" and "SpongeBob" with her. As Madison remembered last week fondly with me, he would give her "great big hugs and great big kisses". I am blessed to have known Tim. I will miss you Tim. And Madison, Zoey and me will remember you each day with memories of you! Luv...Betsy
I can hardly remember a time when I didn’t know you. We were friends right from the start. You my brother, and I your sister as we would often say. The times when you would look for my approval on the woman you were dating and knowing before I even met Cindy, that I would love her, just like I did you. I will miss the excitement of when you guys came to Louisville and no matter how busy either of us was, we would not miss getting together. We’ve watched our kids grow up together, been there for the many mistakes we have made, enjoyed each others happiness when our grand children came along, and joked about the aging we have done. I will miss your many familiar quotes and the smile you always had, but most of all; I will miss the ventures we had planned now that our children are on their own. To you Tim, I say “Friends are forever, you might lose them but you'll never forget them ". Goodbye my friend, goodbye my brother. Cindy, Zach and Maggie, my heart is there with you.
I remember Uncle 'Scoop' always coming in at grandma and grandpa's house down on the parkway with a huge grin on his face, his blue jean cut off shorts and his white converse tennis shoes...he would always smile and his laugh was so contagious. I couldn't help but to laugh with him....these memories will live on and continue to make us all smile! I'll miss you Uncle Tim...love you!
Love to everyone...xoxoxoxoxo
I always loved it when Tim and my dad got together because I got to hear wild stories about the shenanigans of 'Scoop & Chilly' growing up. I'm grateful that I got to share a tiny part of their friendship.
Cindy, Maggie and Zach - I wish I could be there with you guys, but please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Big Scoop was always my favorite growing up. When he would babysit me, we always had a great time. It was with him, I watched my first rated R movie. I cant remember what the movie was or what it was about. He just looked over at me and said I wont tell if you don't, he crossed his eyes and called me pilgrim. I thought that I was the coolest kid ever. It wasn't until I was about 15 when I realized that his nickname was just Scoop, I thought everyone called him Big Scoop. He was always big to me and always the coolest, even if he always wore Chucks and Big Johnson TShirts and my personal favorite was the cuttoff jean shorts. I have so many great memories of Big Scoop and it makes me smile every time I think about him. That was the type of person Big Scoop was, you cant help but smile. I love you Big Scoop, I will miss you and I will always remember the great times we had.
Tim was a wonderful, caring, giving person. Over the last 13 years getting to know him and Cindy has enriched my life. He will be missed and never forgotten. God bless!
