God bless and keep Tim. He was a very good friend, father and husband!! We spent many hours of our lives together both working and playing. I'll miss him very much as I'm sure all his other friends and family will. I had the pleasure of knowing Tim since 1961 when we meet at Sperry Gyroscope Co. and we have been friends and coworkers ever since that first encounter. God Bless!! Pat and Dennis
