Edward, Austin and I were saddened to learn of Tim's untimely death. Tim was a terrific boy and was a frequent guest in our home when the boys were young. They both had dark hair, glasses and similar builds. Austin always referred to Tim as his "brother" as they looked alike. Tim moved away from St. Martha school and we did as well and have lost touch. But that doesn't mean we have ever forgotten. We have recently moved back and when we attend St. Martha church, we look for the class photos on the wall. There, captured in boyish innocence, are Tim and Austin. It brings back happy memories.
Our thoughts and prayers are for the family.

The world will be less without Tim.

Those of us who were fortunate enough to have been connected to him, either through his works or his life are better for it. I had Tim as a student and I am proud to have been a part of that portion of his life. It was great while it lasted, albeit too short. Nothing is more tragic than knowing he could have given us so much more. I will always remember him.

I knew Tim when I was a child growing up; in fact, we were often mistaken for twins. He was a good kid, and I was devastated to hear of his passing. My thoughts go with you Timmy, as well as with your family.
