My Condolences to all friends and family of Timmy. He was a hard working father, husband, and dad. He always had the greatest personality. We had the greatest time growing up. Even though we didn’t have much. We built our own treehouses. We fished, built rabbit boxes. And learned how to live off of the land. We always were laughing and he had a wonderful quick wit. He is deeply loved and missed. 💔ðŸ™

I am so sorry to hear of Tim’s passing. Tim and I had adjoining football lockers in junior high and he was always smiling and making jokes. I last saw him at our class reunion and he was still the same after all the years. My prayers are with his family at this time.
