I grew up with Tim and went to school with him from age 10 at grade school through high school. I have such great memories of hanging out with Tim, Tom, Diane Heady, Debbie Chambers, Cindy Hunter, Carol Anderson, etc. and am truly saddened that this world has lost Tim's great sense of humor. Heaven will be a happy place with Tim there now. Sandy Huk (Galloway)

My brother-in-law Tim was so special! My favorite memories are holiday meals(he really filled up his plate), Barney Rubble laugh, playing Moses(that's why he had the long hair and beard)at living hope church, later it came in handy as Santa! And really special was our family trip to Flagstaff to play in the snow, Tim did a great rendition of "Papa was a rolling Stone" for us all! We laughed til we cried! We will miss you greatly Tim, see you on the other side!
