| Dear Teresa and Family, Tim always had a big smile to match his big heart. Many times when I would go to the cemetery to visit my husband's grave, I would notice a new bunch of flowers, or a wreath or a light next to each of the family headstones. When I asked who had put them there, Jim told me it was Tim. Even when he was going through so much, he would make sure everyone was remembered. Tim, don't worry. You will always be remembered. | | from: Linda Sweeney | on: 06-11-2025 |

My deepest sympathy on your Dad’s passing. I had the pleasure of working with him for 35 years. He was a great guy, and I enjoyed all of my interactions with him.
