I was very sorry to hear of Tim's passing and would like to convey my deepest sympathy and condolences to the family. Of my time working with Tim under many different circumstances at Detroit Edison, he was always professional and a true gentleman. He left some fond memories with me. May he rest in the peace of our Lord.
