John FrancoisSincerest condolences to all of the Fugate Family and friends. Very sad to hear this about my first friend - as far back as I can remember! We were inseparable as kids until he and family moved. Lots of great memories, like playing baseball at Davis Park everyday in the summer, and football in the park during the fall and winter, roaming the neighborhood, etc., but best memory was my very first varsity football game as a junior at St. Joseph’s High School. Tim was a senior playing for Central. We both went out for the coin toss! I hadn’t seen him in a few years. We good-naturedly gave each other crap, and the refs thought we were starting a fight until we told them we were best friends until the move! Godspeed, good childhood friend! I’ll cherish the memories!

Karen (Schneider) ProhaskaOh, Timmy! Even though I haven’t seen you much since I moved from Kenosha in 1975, I never forgot you! You were always on my mind here and there because you were one of my first friends (you and Andrea Francois) before Kindergarten. You were always fun, witty, and up for a good fun time! I have so many great memories of you from playing with you as a toddler to going to school together at McKinley Elementary to playing baseball in the park (you always hit the ball outta the park and even broke the Francois’ window one time!), to swimming in my pool, and playing hide and go seek when it got dark! Oh yeh, and Bible school in your yard on the corner, and also those unfortunate times when you got hit by a car, and stung by too many bees! I was always glad that you pulled thru! I’m glad to know that you raised a nice family too. I’ve always missed you and still do. Hope to see you again one day my old friend. You had a positive influence on my life. XOXO

Shawn WhiteI have known Tim a short while, but I am certainly fortunate that i have. Clever, witty, with a hint of sarcasm, and a whole lot of kindness. I will miss offering you my coffee in the morning as if i had made it for you. You did threaten to one day take me up on the offer. Rest in Peace, Tim. The world is a better place because you were in it. My prayers are with you, your loved ones, and all of the lives you have touched.
