I am so sorry to hear of Tim's passing. He was a great guy! I first met Timmy in 1976 when we played trumpet together in the school band. He was my 6th grade and 8th grade boyfriend and we ran against each other for class vice president during our freshman year. I will never forget all the fun! My condolences to Tim's family during these trying times. Until we meet again, my friend...cheers!

Tim was a mentor to me when I first showed up at Naval Reactors. He was always willing to help me out with a work problem, and his experience and knowledge helped me develop as an engineer. He had such a big impact on me, and on the organization. He taught me to always put the sailor first, and I have used that mantra throughout my career. I will miss his sharp quips and stories (he had a lot of both!).

Tim made a huge impact on so many young engineers here at Naval Reactors! Whenever faced with the toughest technical problems, his door was always open to help guide you though it. You always felt better with Tim in your corner. An incredible mentor and friend, who always lit up when talking about his family! It was obvious how proud he was of you all. Tim you are loved and will be missed greatly. Thank you for the positive impact you had on my life.
