Kay and family,
I feel so fortunate to have known Tim and to have been included in a part his life. He always made my family and I feel welcome and genuinely cared for. He just took us all as his own. It means a lot to a mom and dad when someone asks about their kids, and he always did. I will never forget his smiling face...he will be greatly missed.

Having worked along side Tim (or TQ as we referred to him) for over 30 years, I can attest to the fact that he was a very unique and caring man. He loved his family, and spoke about them often. He never was at a loss for words or a corny joke. He was always available to listen to the problems, concerns, or achievements, and to offer his advise to others. He never met anyone who remained a strainger for long, and was always inquisitive about any subject that came up in conversation. He poured his heart into his work, but always found time for a laugh or a story about what was going on in his life. He was loved by all those around him, and he will be missed by many. I feel fortunate to have known and worked with TQ, and am sure that I personally benefitted from his advice and encouragement on many occasions. He left us all much too early, and I will miss him dearly.

To Everyone,

We meet people every day in our lives and although I didn't personally know Tim and his family, I knew he had a big heart and was a caring person. He always had an answer for a problem or offered a solution. The professionalism he exhibited in working with Centerpoint Energy was second to none and was always there. My condolences and prayers to Tim's family.
