Tim was a very honest and a very good friend and a kind soul. I worked at 11 mile rd McDonald´s for almost a year and he would come in everyday whether it was just to say hi or just to eat. He would come in and we would just talk about whatever hit our brains. He was nothing but a very good man and he will be dearly missed by all.

I don't even know where to start. Tim was a very rare kind! I've worked at 11 mile Rd McDonald's for over 3yrs now and I seen Tim daily for those years. Tim was a very kind, gentle man! We miss him so much already! Our hearts are so broken. I'm very honored to be able to say he was a good friend! My love and prayers go out to his family! God Speed Tim
