I enjoyed sharing an office with Tim in the months before he retired. He was a good man, and well-respected at the paper mill. "Life is eternal, and love is immortal, and death is only a horizon; and a horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight."

Heaven absolutely gained a wonderful Angel when you ascended. Absolutely meek yet strong, mild, loving man. We will miss you, as will many. However, you will never be forgotten nor you ever be replaced in our hearts. I thank God for meeting you; and proud to have been a part of your family's namesake and legacy. A true God-fearing devoted faithful family Patriarch. Thank you for always holding my hands, loving our family, not to mention your heroism to Our Country. I Love You, Granddaddy. Always~ Gwyn
