I met Tim at the Military Induction Center in Buffalo NY as we prepared to go to Basic Training. After basic, we were both sent to the same Technical School and first base of assignment. In 1969 we were both sent to Vietnam but to different bases. When leaving 'Nam I stopped in to see him.at Cam Rahn Bay AB. Tim was a guy who got along with everyone. I am sorry it took so long to find out about his death. May he rest in peace and may his husband know Tim's legacy was his friendly nature.
