Pam and family of Tim,
I met Tim a lifetime ago and we became best friends from the start. As we grew older and our lives parted it was always a happy moment when we would run into each other. Tim was in a small group of people that I call my best lifelong friends and I have many fond memories which helped mold who we became.
My deepest sympathy to the family and my prayers are with you all.
