Tim made my Friday 13 in December one of my most memorable days. Started out bad but he quickly changed that. Thank you Tim. RIP

My Dad, B.C. Walker worked for Tim for many years. My Dad was always saying what a wonderful man to work with. Tim was like a member of our family. Our prayers and love go to his family during this time and the days to come. My Dad truly loved Tim.

Jeff sending prayers and love to you and your family .
