Tim was such a wonderful dad and uncle. He spent a lot of time with my daughter Taylor while she was growing up. He loved her very much and it showed. He loved family and kids were special and important to him. He even did the heroic act of playing Barney for Taylor's birthday party at Chuck-E-Cheese!!! :) He will be missed greatly by many.
