Further survived by many neices, nephews, other relatives and friends.
Tim will be fondly remembered by his family and friends as a loving Father, Friend, and an all around GOOD MAN.
"God saw him getting tired,
And a cure was not to be.
So He put his arms around him,
And whispered “come with me.”
With tearful eyes we watched you suffer,
And saw you fade away.
Although we loved you deeply,
We could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
Hardworking hands to rest,
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the best.
