Timmy and I were elementary school friends at Great Neck School. We went to different schools in later grades. I ran into Tim again once during our high school years at the Barn-a-Go-Go, and once after that. I was saddened when his wife died, and am saddened again now. I ahve only good memories of my long-ago friend.

Our sincere condolences to the loss of Tim. He was such an amazing person with a heart of gold. He always made us laugh. We have so many cherished memories of Tim. The best one was seeing Indigenous at Toads place. We are sorry for your loss. He will be missed dearly.
RIP "Timmy". Love the Glock 5
