I fondly remember a little kid on our block when I was growing up on W. 17th St. in Little Italy. I'm not sure this is him, but he was one of our gang kids & we sure had a lot of fun. I looked in my yearbook but he wasn't there, so I think we all moved away from each other. You have my deepest sympathy for your loss. I am attaching a picture I found of our gang. He may be there.

Spent over 30 years working (and playing) with Tim. A good man and the best mechanic emta ever had. Wasn't unusual to have 3 or 4 buses sitting out back waiting for his expertise. Always helpful and humble, he never needed or wished to self promote his wonderful mechanical abilities, but was always there if someone was having trouble diagnosing/repairing a vehicle. A great instructor whether or not he viewed himself as such, I wish I had the ability to absorb half of the knowledge he subtly injected into every repair.

Tim was our neighbor for the last five. Our son cut his grass the last two years. He was very kind and friendly. I wish I knew he was into model railroading. I could've asked for some tips for my set. RIP Tim. Condolences to the family.

I truly enjoyed working with Tim @ EMTA. He was fun & his love of model trains was a big plus. I haven't seen him in a long time but doesn't mean he hasn't been thought of.
