I am deeply saddened to learn of Timmy's untimely passing. He was a fellow high school classmate and friend in the class of 1980 at Savannah Christian Preparatory School. We were always in homeroom together for many years because of alphabetical order of last names. Timmy could always make you laugh and he was a very good athlete. I am very sorry the world is without him but look forward to the day when all believers will be together in a place where there is no more sadness, no more tears, no more separation, and no more death. I pray God's comfort on Timmy's family and friends as they face every day without him. May his wonderful memories and God's love sustain you.

Bill & Frances, I am so very sorry to hear about Timmy. I can't imagine how difficult this time must be for you and your family. I fondly remember and cherish the years of playing baseball and football with Timmy and how great of a second baseman he was at SCPS. He was an awesome cousin and team- mate. He was fun to be around, well-liked and a great athlete. He will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with both of you during this difficult time.

Tim was a good friend and a great athlete. We lost touch over the years, but I loved playing football with him in high school. No one had more heart than Tim at SCPS when it came to sports. It's sad to know he's no longer in this world.

Timmy was a very good childhood friend. I tell my children about my first 'steady' boyfriend. Timmy walked clear across the Isle of Hope to give me a beautiful bracelet; we were six years old! I will never forget that sweet little boy asking my dad if he could talk to me. He was the only child I knew with hair blonder than mine. So sweet and such a great memory that I share with my children. I am so very sorry to hear this and pray for him and his family.
