Tim and I were good friends in high school we played golf,fished and had a great camping trip upon our graduation from high school it was during these times I realized what a great person and friend,Tim was very humble and soft spoken. We both were in the Army,but in South East Asia at different times i'm sure he was a great soldier. This world is a lesser place without him,but Heaven is a better place with him. God Bless the family. My prayers are with you in this difficult time. Ken Harris

I worked with Tim in Home Care for several years and found Tim to be a
very diligent and responsible worker. The patients loved Tim and his caring
attitude. Tim was a private person, but would glow when talking about his family.
May only fond memories of Tim be with you for many years to come.
