My deepest sympathy for the Long family,during this difficult time. I would like to say Tim was an honorable man and someone i was glad to have known. Though I wasnt in his class; he showed the love of Christ to me through his kindness and compassion.That is what I remember about this man. Those years I spent in Elliston were few, however, Tim left a lasting impression on my heart . I am reminded of just how much today after hearing of his passing. Thank you Tim! May the peace of God be on the Long family and all of those who loved him.

Jan and Family,
What a special person Tim was, from a best friend, to a sponsor for Scott & Ricks racing, to someone who always added the extras to any car/motorhome/trailer we had. He loved and honored his mom and dad more than anyone or anything else in life. We were truly blessed to have known him. I feel certain he, his dad "V", and Rick Hensley are cooking BBQ and sharing racing stories as we grieve here on earth. Your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
