I was just re aquainted with Timmy on facebook after a long void but he was always special with a heart of gold.
It is always difficult to lose someone you love but time heals all and then you are left with all the special memories.
My mother passed away on Sunday April 28 in Halifax N. S.

So sorry for your loss! I only met Tim online, but through the sarcastic and funny online, he was a supportive ear to me offline. I will miss his humor and his refreshing rancor. Ride on, my friend, there's no traffic where you're going, just open road!

Farewell old FB friend ,You will be missed by all your fellow FB friends back here in NB.The convenience of the internet allowed you to remain in contact with the many you had grew up with ...only wish they had internet service up there would love more chats with you. Would say good bye old friend but 65 was not really that old (especially to those are near to it ).Condolences to the family and all your other friends.
