My thoughts and prayers are with you. Big Tim was truly an amazing man that has touched my life in the short time I have known him. It was a highlight to my day to see Tim, Dan and Nitro on a regular basis and I will miss his charm. He was a very nice, generous man, especially with his fabulous homegrown garlic. There are some people you meet in life and if only for a short time, they will touch it forever.

I am so sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to his family, Kathy and her family as well.

I will never forget how big Tim's heart was. I needed someone to drive a U-Haul to Fl. as I was moving after the loss of my husband. Kathy and Tim just called and said they were going to go to FL anyway so they took over the drive and the next step of my life. Kathy in my car and Tim in the U-Haul. We walkie talkie each other all the way and laughed. Tim went and had his hair all cut and beard shaved off the next day. WOW! he was one handsome man. My granddaughters did not recognize him the change was so great in one hour. Tim you will be missed. My Prayers are with Kathy and his family. Stay Strong.
