I first met Timmy while growing up, as he was a neighbor and friend of my uncle, Al Prather. He was nice, fun, welcoming to all, and treated everyone with kindness and respect. To know him was to love him. Timmy was and remains a blessing in the lives of all who knew him. May his family be blessed with strength and comfort as they celebrate his beautiful and meaningful life. May God bless his soul, and may the perpetual light shine upon him! Amen!

Sincere condolences to Pat and the entire Scully family. Seems like there was never a day I didn't spend some time at their home on W. Short St. in Lexington either with some sports related activity or hunting or fishing with his brother Donnie. He was a great friend for so many years. RIP friend Timmy.

I will forever cherish my fond memories of Uncle Timmy. Growing up without a father, he was always, always there for my sister and I and played a very significant role in my life.
From going to the Amory with him to watch him (and the other cute cops) play basketball as a teenager, whizzing around in his little red Rambler, playing countless hours at his house with my cousins, getting new shoes from Wenekers all the time, having great debates with him (he was so so wise) everything! I will always have and hold so much love and gratitude for this man. I learned so much from him.
Back in the day as a young girl Uncle Timmy wore taps on his shoes-he was always in style- and to this day any sound resembling those taps makes me feel safe, as I always knew I was with him in my life.
He took his role as an uncle seriously and was unbelievably good to me.
Rest in Peace Uncle Tim. Thank you

I knew Tim starting in High School and as a police Official and Executive when I was a Member of the LFUCG Council during Tim's tenure as a police official. My memory indicates Tim was well thought of by his fellow officers and civilian Lexingtonions. May his memory be a blessing during this sad time. I send my sincerest condolences to his loving family.
