Tim and I shared a birthday , one year apart. I remember him riding his banana seat bike on Strathmoor and his sweet and funny presence in our gang of cousins. My prayers are with all of his family.

Tim and I shared being left handed. I'm the only one in my family, he was the only one in his. We shared being a little different. One of kind! Always enjoyed being treated like royalty at the restaurants he managed.
