Tim was a great guy. He will be greatly missed. I worked with Tim at Trocadero. Tim was truly a professional. I enjoyed working with him so much. He had high standards for himself and others. He elevated any group with which he worked. I was always happy to see him, in part because he was so intelligent and sharp-witted. Tim brought joy and humor to my day. I feel lucky to have known him.

Ken and family, I am so sorry for your sad loss. As others have said, it just shouldn't be that a parent has to give their child a funeral. The most devasting grief imaginable. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Tim put everything into perspective. We were the great closing team at Trocadero, and he always knew how to calm you down. We've all lost a great person from our lives, but we know he'd have wanted us to survive. He will be missed greatly. So many hugs to his friends and family.

Tim was one of the best co-workers I've had, and turned into an amazing friend whom I held in high esteem for his great intelligence. Always ready with his insightful and sharp wit, I was constantly laughing when I was with him. He will be missed by everyone who knew him. My deepest sympathies to his family and to Robb. Blessed Be. You are in my thoughts.

I am very sorry for your loss, though I only met Tim a few time at Bayshore while training. I found him to be a very bright and intelligent man. He will be missed.

In this life, we all do the best we can. We cannot control our destiny; all we can do is be happy for the time that we had. May God help you through this very dark time. My deepest sympathy,


Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow;
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain;
I am the gentle autumn's rain.

Do not stand at my grave and mourn.
I am the dew-flecked grass at dawn.
Where tranquil oceans meet the land
I am the footprints in the sand
To guide you through the weary day.
I am still here; I'll always stay.

When you wake up to morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there; I did not die.
