I worked with Tim when he was in the Healthcare industry. I am so sorry for his loss. I recall that he was a good man, interested in living life to the fullest and wanted the same for those around him. He was way too young to pass on so early. I send condolences to his family.

Tim was a great friend. We never had a cross word with each other and we laughed and had a good time whenever we were in a room. Traveled to Alaska when we worked together and had a lot of fun memories. I was with him and Leanne the night they bought their first home and remember when they got the good news how happy they were. I will always miss him and think about the good time we had together.

My sincerest condolences on the loss of Tim. Tim was a high school friend and teammate at Trinity High School in Louisville, and myself and all those who know and played with Timmy are crushed, but we also know he is spreading a lot of joy around right now in heaven with that big smile and personality. He was a great teammate and someone you were always glad to have on your side. Know that we will be praying for Tim and his family at the Trinity Alumni mass on 11/20 in the Trinity chapel. God's blessings to the family and Godspeed to Tim! Dennis Burch
