I just learned today of your loss and my heart goes out to the whole family. I just wanted to share with you what a heart of gold Tim always had while we were fortunate enough to live near each other, and then share a dorm room at college- he was probably the best friend I ever had and during a time when I needed one the most. I have nothing but wonderful memories of him and your loving family. My prayers are with you all.
