I worked with Tim at Cablevision as a tech from 2006-07...Tim was one of my go to guys on the job when I was a new. My fondest memory was his uncanny ability to try and get me to play World of Warcraft with him and his buddies. I wasn't into games, but he was a great guy and one of the funniest and nicest guys I ever met. I miss you brother. Continue you rest in Heaven...

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
I just found out about Timmy a couple of days ago, and I cant imagine how hurt your family must be going through. I wish I could have been there as a shoulder to cry on, but since I wasnt please know you may contact me to talk to at anytime. My last memory of Tim was an e-mail on March 3rd about how he was planning to come to Florida sometime in April-May. I will always remember him as a great person and I will keep him in my thoughts and prayers. My e-mail is [email protected] and my phone is 352-493-2264.

Timmy and i started at cablevision at the same time. He was tech 207, i was 208. For years we spent eating breakfast together(the albertson deli)and running routes.
we shared alot of laughs and good times throughout the years on and off the job.
he contacted me on march 5th and we were supposed to catch up the next monday. i didn't know why he hadn't returned my calls until last week.
i send my deepest condolances to his close friends and family.
He was a great person, and a great friend. He was genuine. Men like him are few and far between. He will never be forgotten.
Rest in peace brother, you left us way too soon.

To The Motherway Family,

I knew Tim through work at Cablevision. I worked with Tim from 2006 to the end of 2007 as a Technician. Tim was a very nice guy who always made us laugh and always helped me out at work on the job. I know this tragedy must be most horrific a time as ever and my prayers go out to you and from my family. May God rest Tim's soul and may he be held in eternal arms forever. God Bless

Sincerely with most sympathy
