Coach Tim was a great Tball coach and an even better person! I was his assistant coach this year for Welch Tball. He was so good with those kids. We had a great year! It is such an honor to have known him. Him and his wife and boys made a great team. He was so much fun too! We had an end of the year Tball party and it was coaches idea to fill up a whole blue swimming pool with water balloons so we could all throw water balloons at each other. He even got me a few times too! He will be truly missed! Love you forever Coach Tim! Prayers for his wife and boys and family.
