My prayers will be with you as you face this difficult time. Tim was a joy to talk with over the years I worked with him and on the few occasions that I did visit with Tim, his eyes lit up every time he mentioned his girls.
Look to God to find some peace and ALWAYS remember, your Daddy loves you!!

The family has a special guardian angel to watch over them now as he did in his life on earth. Tim was a special guy and was loved by so many people. I feel grateful that our paths crossed in this life. Please take comfort in the fact that Tim loved his family and friends. May God give you His peace to comfort you in this time of grief. Franklinton has suffered a great loss but Heaven has gained an Angel.

Tim was a wonderful man. My thoughts and prayers are with your during this difficult time. He was my insurance agent for several years and was always willing to help out any way he could. He had a great way with people and I loved seeing him in his bow tie. He will be greatly missed.
