I have been trying to locate my friend Tim since i moved to the Atlanta area a few years ago with no luck. I believe I have now found him. He was my neighbor in Huntsville Alabama, the first neighbor I ever had upon graduating college and moving to a strange place with no family or friends. I was a mixed up, insecure, awkward girl and he was the kindest, sweetest and funniest friend to have at that time. He lived below me and helped me feel safe. He looked out for me and my only family at that time Sushi the cat. He was the first person in my adult life to try and explain to me who Christ was. I was clueless at the time and now as I look back on all he meant to me I am so sad I did not get to enjoy him more. My trademark "woo hoo" came from him, people think it's mine but it is his. I do not know who to contact but I hope someone is making his basketball tournament a reality. Tim, you were such a blessing to me and I wish I would have been as good of a person as you then perhaps I would not have the regret of missing our friendship once you moved. I hope you don't mind me posting your pic, not sure who will see it but I will keep it forever:)

Tim will be dearly missed. He was a great friend, confidant, and mentor. I will never forget all the laughter he's brought to my life. He was always there for me in good and bad times. He will never be forgotten. Rest in Peace "Buddy". Now the "Moose" will "remain" loose.

I have worked with Tim for the last 12 years and he truly brought "joy" to my days. What a wonderful professional at all times and a great sense of humor. May God bless Tim and all of the family left behind to miss him.

The Moose Says…
Tim will be missed dearly. He was a good man who worked hard and smart, while making us all laugh even if it was at ourselves. I will miss Tim and his suggestions. His friendship will be something I cherish the rest of my life. Rest in Peace my friend.
