Rayette,

My sympathies to you and your family. I always remember Timmy with a smile on his face and a joke to go with it. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Timmy was a good friend, boss, and business owner. Timmy was a family man and was proud of it. Timmy almost always had a smile on his face and always had a funny story. He could get me laughing so easy. When we weren´t towing, we were sitting at a coffee shop, drinking coffee until all hours of the morning. I asked him to be the best man at my wedding, and I was certainly glad to see him. Somewhere in the mid 80s I met Tim, perhaps at a tow show. We helped each other on many tows and became pretty good friends. The picture in my head of Tim is him sitting behind his desk playing solitaire on his computer when he wasn´t busy with doing paperwork or telephone calls. He had me noticed that he was in control of that game because he could play the red suit, the black suit alternating the suits. Tim always had a smile on his face. Condolences to his family. See you on the other side my friend.
