I remember staying over at their house as a little kid and hearing his motorcycle come up the driveway, I was always so excited. Once he would come in we would eat some lunch and every time he would always pull out a Reese's Peanut Butter-Cup and surprise me no matter how many times he would do it. Those were some of the best memories as a little kid.

I'm in shock and had no idea until today (9/5/13). Tim was always very nice to me and we talked just a few days before his passing. He was also very passionate about instruments, repair, and the industry, and a pleasure to speak with. He helped me out on numerous occasions and was always very outgoing and patient with people. I'm so sorry for your loss. He was the one of the last of very few gentlemen in the music world...

Nancy,James,John, and Holly,
I am so sorry to hear of Tim's passing.
I have a bunch of wonderful memories of him. It sounds like he touched the lives of many people. Back in the day he was not scared of anything and could crack a joke on a moments notice.
With sympathy,
Ben McCarthy

What a beautiful service with such fun and loving memories. Guess there are harps in heaven that need expert repair. God bless you and give you comfort. Those prayers are daily.

"THE MEASURE OF A MAN"
Not - How did he die? But - How did he live?
Not - What did he gain? But - What did he give?
These are the things that measure the worth
Of a man as a man, regardless of birth.
Not - What was his station? But - had he a heart?
And - How did he play his God-given part?
Was he ever ready with a word of good cheer?
To bring back a smile, to banish a tear?
Not - What was his church? Not - What was his creed?
But - Had he befriended those really in need?
Not - What did the sketch in the newspaper say?
But - How many were sorry when he passed away?
These are the things that measure the worth
Of a man as a man, regardless of birth.
