Tom, Jean, Michael, Beth, Richard,

You are all in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time in life. I had the great fortune to have Timmy as a dear friend in high school, we were roommates in Long Beach & Merrick as well as my times spent with all of you. Those wonderful family times together in the Hamptons were some of the best memories of my youth. Timmy was one of a kind, we will all miss him dearly. I am so glad to have experienced life with him and all those fun times we had together in our youth.

I am saddened by Tim's loss. May the Angels and Saints guide him to paradise. I pray his family finds consolation in the promise of the resurrection and the future happy reunion with Tim in the presence of God. Jesus died out of love for Tim and us. HIS purpose was to enable us to share in His divinity. May Tim be enjoying the presence of Christ!
Vivat Jesu! God Bless Tim's family and give them the strength to endure the loss. I'm sorry and my prayers are with you.
