I still think about Tim from time to time, and always when I hear Stevie Ray Vaughan. Still miss the guy.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, ""I welcome you.""

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......""My day was not in vain.""
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

At 14, I got my first job at Captain Frosty’s, so Tim was my first boss. I think my dad dropped my application off for me, because I recall having to write a thank-you note to Tim: “Dear Mr. Sheridan....” When I started the job and actually met “Mr. Sheridan,” I was mortified because I realized he probably got a good laugh out of it.

I have so many fond memories of working with Tim. As my first boss, he had the opportunity to leave quite an impression on me. He taught me how to work hard, how to work under pressure (I still laugh when I think about a few times where he slammed the ventilation hood above the fryers because he was angry about something, but soon cooled off and was the same old Tim), and how to enjoy your job. He also told me when I screwed up, which was important too. In addition to the valuable life lessons I learned from him (and I say with sincerity that Tim played a formidable role in impressionable years), Tim taught me a lot about Classic Rock. I owe much of my name-that-tune skills to three summers working alongside him in a hot kitchen with the radio on.

Tim was a kind-hearted guy with a great sense of humor. I am so sad to learn he has passed, and I will miss seeing him during the summer when I’m on the Cape. He and his family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
