It was with deep sorrow that I learned today of Tim's passing. I knew that he had been battling cancer, but it is never easy to face the death of someone we know. May God accept him into His loving arms, and may he find peace in heaven, in the company of his departed comrades-in-arms. I salute you, Chief.

To this day, it is difficult not to smile when I think of Tim. Going back to the Huntington Beach High/OCC days there were many wonderful memories and adventures!. I will always consider him a friend.
