Tim and I worked together at Meridian Rehab and Healthcare. We became good friends shared many conversations and a lot of laughs. Tim was kind to everyone, he always put others needs and wants before himself. We shared a passion for Mexican food and with that we would see which one of us could shoot down the most shots of really hot sauce. It was a laugh. Tim can be called a true friend. I will miss your friendship and kindness. Thanks for being my friend Tim.
