Dear Red, Shirley and Terry.
I was so sorry to hear of Tim's death. Seems such a short time ago we were neighbors on Unaka and our kids were playting together. I can hardly imagine the pain of loosing a child.

My prayers are with the family and my good friend and fellow law enforcement officer Terry. A donation will be made in Timothy's honor to a charity who is well deserving in Timothy's memory.

So sorry for your loss. All of you fought a hard battle, but what a beautiful Family standing by him daily. Tim was my favorite neighborhood young man during the 50' and 60. He kept that beautiful smile when he would see me thru all these years. Tim, rest in peace and enjoy Big Jim.

I worked with Tim in the early 80's at the MCSO. He always had a smile and a joke and was serious about his job all at the same time. You are a good man Tim and I'll always remember you. Praying for the family.
