We have so many good memories of Tim. He subbed in our room many times and bonded with all the kids. Tim had the biggest heart and best smile. He was always going above and beyond for the students. Rather it was bringing bottle rockets and treats for the kids, playing multiple games of blockus, or showing up at our mall field trips to eat with us- the students loved him and got excited when he was coming! He touched so many lives, young and old.

I´m sharing a particular photo which Tim came to the rescue with a weed eater string. We had a student who had to have string or it would destroy his entire day. Tim was subbing in another room and when he heard about the chaos ensuing, he came to the rescue with a string that he went out to the back building to find. He had a heart of gold and will be missed so much.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Tim's family during this difficult time.
