I just happened to think of Tim recently and looked and saw his obituary. He was always amazing. We shared a lot early on. Though in a wheelchair, it never stopped him. We went through woods and fields. Many games of Monopoly. He really was an inspiration to me throughout my life. My condolences to his family. Bob Manson from down the block on Edgewater.

I am so sad to hear about Tim's passing. I hope the time since his last hospital admission, that he had with his dad and family was filled with love and sharing memories. I sure enjoyed taking care of Tim at Regions all the years since I met him he has been my FAVORITE patient ever!!! I will miss him and always remember him. I also shared the news with my coworkers we all loved him, even Van:)

Dear McNeely Family,
I am saddened to hear of Tim's passing. My sincere condolences to all of you

My fondest memory of Tim was meeting him in 7th grade. We had a class together where we got to choose a classmate to "get to know" and had to share something about ourselves. Tim shared with me that he had a great button collection. I like this memory :)
