Tim will be missed. I work with Tim when I had to cover Towne West Cinemas in 1983 until they found a manager. I would send him a Christmas card every year. My sincere condolences go to Tom´s family. Thank you Tim for being the wonderful person you are.

Deepest heartfelt condolences to Tim´s family. I´ll always remember Tim making the trip to Lima, Peru, to attend my wedding in 2004. And many more memories too numerous to mention. He was a great friend and will always be remembered.
