I am glad that I got to work with Tim for about 5 years at Global Payments. He always made me laugh and was constantly singing his favorite songs! He was a joy and I will miss him but now he is at rest and smiling down on all his family and friends. Thank you god for letting him be apart of my life even if for a short time. Gwen I will keep you and the family in my prayers.

Steve and Linda, I am so sorry to hear of Tim's illness and his passing. I was trying to remember how I met him. I think y'all took me to a Wake basketball game and that's when I met him...but what I do remember easily is his smile. He was always smiling. I hope that eventually you can find comfort in your happy memories as I know you have lots of those!

I am so very sorry for your loss. I knew Tim in high school and he is one of the funniest people I have ever met. I still have a mix tape that he made for me in 1986. Peace be with you.
