It seems like yesterday we were visiting with the Gagnons, back in the day as children. The Prouts Neck beach,their giant collie. That dog was big.Julie was the most honest and kind person I knew growing up. In high school Tim was a character,crazy fun,athlete and good friend.Tim swept Julie off her feet when he came back home to visit from the Army.We only had a chance to visit with them now and again over the years. We all go our separate ways,careers,raise a family and so on,then we lose touch with one another. My mother thought of Tim as her second son.We will miss him. He was a great Father,Husband and Friend.Our heart felt sorrow go out to Julie and Family along with the Cloutier Family. From "The Leighton Family" Will,Lou,Susan,Cindy, My wife Kathy and myself Brian Leighton. God Bless
