Tim was my big brother and protector. He could be quite salty but always loyal and loving. I am so grateful he was part of my family.

I had the great pleasure of knowing Tim as a co- worker, manager and good friend. First, I knew Tim when he worked in the lab in Newark. I spoke with him quite a bit in those days, when he was making changes to test methods. Then, he became my coworker in in Wilmington. Eventually, he became my manager, and I couldn’t have been happier for him and his family when he moved up in the AstraZeneca organization. He deserved it and I knew he would be a great boss. And he was. Tim was also one of the smartest people for and with whom I have ever worked. He was such a fast thinker, with laser focus and could make tough decisions with ease. And he was tough – once a decision was made, he would defend it. I saw him negotiate many an issue and sway others to his way of thinking. Anyone who knew Tim, would agree with that fact! I always thought he would be a superb lawyer. I knew a lot about Tim personally too. I know that he was one of 10 children and he told lots of funny stories about that topic. One that comes to mind is of vacation; riding to the beach in the station wagon with all those bodies in the hot car, for what seemed to be many hours…. I knew of his daily family life too. Tim was a dedicated husband to Erin and father to his boys. He would go home for lunch every day. I always thought that was so nice. My husband and I also met Erin and Liam, when Liam bought his first car from us. I knew too, like all families, they had their struggles. And from what I could gather, he was the anchor that kept them steady. I have been gone from AstraZeneca since 2009 but, stayed in contact with Tim. In recent history, we shared our common political views through email and an occasional telephone call. I talked to him the day after Erin’s health scare a while ago and I attended her funeral. And then, he became gravely ill. When I look at my life and think of all the friends I have known, Tim is among my very favorite - truly. He was a good man and knowing that he is no longer here to talk to, makes me so sad. But, I think living without Erin was just not an option for him. Perhaps, he caught a glimpse of her while he was sleeping... Now they are together again. And so, I extend my deepest sympathies to all in his family. He was an exceptional person and I am so glad that I knew him.

I have known Tim since he and Erin got together back in 1986(?). I will remember him for his sense of humor, his love of Erin and their boys, and his 'tough on the outside, but sensitive on the inside' personality. I'm thinking of Liam and Padraic, ALL of the Lawes siblings, and of course Patricia and Bernard Lawes at this time. Tim and Erin are gone too soon, that's for sure, but I will remember them with love always.

I am saddened to have to say goodbye to Tim. We have lost two wonderful souls too soon. Give Erin a kiss from me. My thoughts are with both the Lawes and Buckmaster families, especially Liam and Padraic.

Tim was a great friend and I will miss him terribly. When I worked in Wilmington, he would frequently come down the hall to my office and we would share stories about life, family and work. He always had a great perspective and I knew that anything shared with him was kept in confidence. Even when I moved to the Newark site two years ago, he would call me occasionally and we kept in touch. My favorite memory is of one half-day work Friday when he brought his grandson, Cameron, with him to pick up something in the office. Tim always acted like Mr. Tough Guy most of the time but I saw his tender side that day -- how he treated Cameron and how he adored that little boy. I asked what they had planned for the remainder of the afternoon. Tim was almost giddy when he said he was going to take Cameron to the park and push him on the swings. The joy was apparent. I can still see his smile. Yes, he will be missed.

Tim was my colleague from a distance for more than 12 years, dealing with the change control matters that affected our site and the AZ US site. He was the kind of contact that always had the correct and on-time answers and was a real help. He had a great deal of knowledge that shed light right when I needed it, but more than that he was a very kind person. It is sad to know of his passing away and that of his beloved wife. I will miss his knowledge, his dedication, and most of all his kindness. My condolences to Tim's family.

I want to thank everyone who has taken time to write something about my father. Especially those who have worked with him and have let me into his work life. My dad was my best friend and the fact that he worked with such great people who felt highly about him gives me some warmth and comfort.
