I was so sorry to hear of Tim's passing; unfortunately, I found out too late to attend the funeral; otherwise, I certainly would have been there. I remember him as a really nice little kid. My thoughts and prayers are with you, his family.

To All the Vreugdenhil Family, Friends of Tim, and most especially his son, Shane -
Please accept my deepest sympathies...
Tim was a classmate of mine - back in his earliest elementary school days at Gilbertsville Central School. We were "kids who lived up and down the street" from each other. He lived closest to the school, on Sylvan St. at that time, and I lived on the lower end of Spring St.
Tim was one of a handful of young boys who'd spend hours playing basketball on our backyard dirt-based 1/2 court, authentically created, game after game by ball dribbling and the canvas sneakers, trompling and shuffling into man-to-man defense bent on blocking opponent's slam dunks into the perfectly mounted (i.e. much lower-than-regulation-height) basketball hoop on the side of our barn. It was a time when summertime meant – mornings spent on the school playground for summer recreation program, and afternoons, partially spent using barefeet to pop tar-bubbles on the patched roadway walking to and from swimming lessons at Meadow Brook.
In all of these memories - Tim was someone I recall as being friendly, happy, and good-hearted! I’d not seen Tim once the family relocated to CA. So, I feel so fortunate to have had the chance to unexpectedly see and speak with him 2-3 yrs ago in Gilbertsville, running into him at the reception following a memorial service we’d both attended for the parent of another mutual childhood friend. I also had a chance to be introduced to Shane.
During our brief chat I couldn’t help but be struck by how clearly the essence of this strong, tall, hulk of a man was exactly as that of the young school boy from 40 yrs before. Without specific words spoken, there was a tenderhearted genuineness, palpable from his very presence, the kind of thing that can't be consciously conjured up and exuded - it's just there! Referring to him as a gentle giant I'm sure sounds cliché, but it’s how I will always remember him…a very special quality.
From reading other's condolence entries - I am gathering that Tim had been ill, though I do not know any details. I'm sure that such a soul as his will be ready to shine his light whenever he can on difficult times here on earth.
Shane, I send you a huge hug at this especially difficult time, and ask that God and others nearby help support you, hear you, and be there with you. God Bless you!

Tim brethren hill was my nephew. He was the son of my oldest sister midge. This is so so tragic but I think it is always better if you can say that the parent goes before their kids. My sister would of been devastated. I had not seen Tim for many years. My memories are when he was little and living in Gilbertsville. He had a huge smile and a goofy funny happy big personality. Looking at his son I can see their dad! What great memories! Love to the family! Robin

Timma, that's what I've always called you and always will. We had some fun times when we were kids, and I will always remember you as a sweet, kind, fun and funny guy. Rest in peace Timma!

I got the pleasure of growing up with you as more of a brother than an uncle. You always did what you could to help others and never wanted to ask for help. Our hearts are broken knowing that you are gone too soon but know that you are with Oma, Odie, and pop-pop now, they must have needed you. I will do whatever I can to help with Shane to make sure that he grows up knowing how much you loved him and every sacrifice you made for him. I love you Timma!

Tim was our tenant but, more importantly, he was our friend. He never hesitated to ask us if we needed help with anything. He'd always come outside and visit with us when we were there, often offering to make us coffee or bring us a cold drink. His pride was evident when he talked about his son, Shane. And Mac, aka Pugsly, was his little buddy. Tim, you are now in the arms of God, watching over and protecting your family. You are at peace. We will miss you.

Although I did not know you that well, I appreciated every kind thing you did for my boyfriend and I. We will miss having you as a neighbor and we will miss seeing you. May you rest in peace.

Tim, you were the nicest, sweetest, caring person I know. God needed you more so he called you to Heaven to be an angel. Give Mom and Dad a hug and kiss for us. I love you! Your sister Lorraine
