I have so many memories to share, but above all you were the one person who knew everything that happened every day in my childhood, and as an adult you reminded me so much of what I didn't remember. You taught me more than anyone else too; from pollywog catching, fishing & lawn mowing, to tire changing, cooking, & carpentry. You were the most patience with me too.
I'll never forget our summers at Little Island Pond, esp canoeing, swimming, riding the Honda 50s on the trails, and going to the Penny Candy store. You gave me confidence in learning how to ski, both water & snow skiing. With your guitar, you learning all the songs exposed me to a wider array of music. Oh! And the pranks we pulled on mommy!
None of this has ever be forgotten, and never will be!
Your life's path was a challenge: at times very good, other times not so much. Our paths didn't cross much over the past few years. I was so glad to hear your path was much less rocky and clearer. You deserved that. I will keep your stories alive for a long as I am. So long my dearest brother. You took a piece of my heart with you when you left this earth. I love you Timmy.
Till we meet again, watch over your kids closely.
