I feel privileged and fortunate to have known Tim. Our world has lost a kind man. Wishing his family and friends peace to bring comfort, the courage to face the days ahead and loving memories to forever hold in your hearts.
I am so sorry to hear of Tim’s passing. He was such a great mentor when I started at PCD in 1997. He was a wonderful person and a great coworker. I have so many found memories of the environmental office during that time and Tim was a big part of that. He was great at passing on his institutional knowledge of his time at the Depot. He was missed when he left and I am saddened to hear of his passing.
Tim was a great guy and will be missed. May God wrap his arms around you all, and give you comfort.
Karen
