Guestbook
We have great memories of all the times spent together like the backyard bbq when Tim forgot the hotdogs were still on the grill until there was a huge whoosh of fire and one of the kids said “those are going to be well done.” We laughed and laughed for a really long time. (There may have been some adult beverages involved that day too.)
I shall miss my bright intelligent cousin Tim. Always a delight when we would get together and discuss the world. He was always there to extend a helping hand, a piece of advice to guide you. He will be missed. Love you Tim, Dennis
