As a new blind manager in the Business Enterprise Program, I can recall meeting Tim for the first time. Always uplifting and non-judgemental, and always pushing me to succeed. My heart has been heavy since I found out about your passing, Big Tim. I've come to realize the saying I've heard for so many years is true, "Only the good die young".

Annie, there are no words to describe the shock and sorrow we felt on hearing of Tim's passing. Our hearts go out to you. He was a good friend. I'll always remember our long talks about gardening, movies, food, politics and family. He was a good listener. He always gave more than he recieved and I admired him for that.

Regards,

Dan and Carol Ferriero
