My dear Tim, I'm so glad you chose this photo; I didn't realize how much you and your dad resembled each other! When I met him (10-12 years ago), I didn't see the resemblance, but in this picture, it's very evident. I will keep him (and you, your mom and sister) in my prayers. His was a life well-lived, and his very best work was producing 2 such wonderful children. Love, Ray

Tim, I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your father. I met your dad when I was looking at houses many years ago. He was very sweet and helped tremendously. He will leave a void in many hearts. Thinking of you
