I found out only recently about Tim's passing. He and I were in the Navy together. He was a good and loyal friend. No one taught me more about how to enjoy life then Tim. Every time I hear a Jimmy Buffett song I think about all the good times we had together. I will always miss him.

4 months have passed and it still feels like yesterday. Not a day goes by that I don't think about you and your family. I miss your smile, laughter and best of all our hugs. I sincerly hope we all meet again. I am sorry for taking our time for granted and now wish I had one day more. I miss you today and everyday Tim. Your family is so wonderful and I just wish I had met them under better circumstances. You hold a special place in my heart, Love Always.

Tim will always be in our hearts, he always carried so much energy around with him. He had a way with words and could be a clown to make you laugh, a shoulder to cry on when you were upset, and most of all, he was a friend you knew you would have for life! Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.
