Tim will be missed by everyone who knew him. He came into our lives some 20 years ago to help us obtain the needed services for our disabled son, Jeffrey. He showed us how to advocate for Jeff's care and welfare which has made all the difference in the world for Jeff and his quality of life. Tim wanted nothing more than to lead a normal life and be a normal person and to do as much good as possible. He achieved all that and became an extraordinary man in the process.
We will always remember and love you Tim.
