Last week a friend and I were talking about our school days and I immediately thought of Tim. We were classmates at Alverton Elementary School. We played tag on the playground with other friends and talked about one day becoming teachersand it seems that we both lived that dream. I later visited with him at Goshen College and he was the same down to earth, authentic person I knew as a kid. I’m sorry I didn’t see him again. He was a special person. I’m sorry for your loss.

Conversing with Tim was always good. We enjoyed hearing about his children's book collection and I got a kick out of exchanging stories from the classroom. These last months were filled with suffering and we're relieved to know that Tim is now with our loving God. Our sympathies to all of you.
