Cindy, I was so sad and shocked to hear about Tim’s passing. He was such a pleasant man. I was glad to get reunited with him on FB, since working with him years ago at ILS. We enjoyed discussing our Mustangs together. I will miss hearing from him. Cindy, please don’t hesitate to let me know if you need anything.
Cindy & Scott:
We were so shocked, so stunned. Totally unaware how ill he was. We were just talking about Tim at Lunch on Friday with Dyhana. Dad got the call last night. We are deeply sorry for the loss. Tim was a wonderful person. He’s always been part of our family. My dad always thought of Tim in high regards. I first met him when he worked with my father at the wood shop, while he was still in the Navy. If there is anything we can do, do not hesitate to ask. Our deepest sympathies in your time of loss.

A great crewmember of the infamous Crew 8 of Patrol Squadron 50. He will be extremely missed next year at the memorial in California. We will swap numerous sea stories about you and drink a toast to our adventures in the Navy. Fairwinds and following seas, my friend.

I’m very sad to learn of his passing. We worked together in VP-50, Work Center 210 Avionics. “I feel how weak and fruitless must be any word of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming.” From a letter written by Abraham Lincoln to Mrs. Bixby 1864
My prayers go out to Tim’s family. We had some great times on CAC 8
Tim, rest easy my friend, shipmate. Until we fly again. My sincerest condolences.
Rest easy Brother, until we meet again. My Thoughts and Prayers for the Family.

Sending thoughts and prayers for Tim’s family at this very difficult time. Tim was a kind and thoughtful co-worker who always worked to support the Fleet. He will be missed.
There are no words to express my sorrow for your loss.
I am so blessed to have known Tim and though it was only a short time, he impacted mine and my families life so much. He was so giving and would have given the shirt off his back for a person in need. I will remember his many stories and picking on Cindy, which she would quickly return. He will forever be in our hearts. Rest in peace Tim. You won’t be hurting any longer.
Cindy and family, so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
For Tim’s family and friends, there is no panacea I or anyone has to offer you to wipe away the grief associated with the loss of this great man. Tim was extremely passionate in his service to our great Nation as a U.S. Navy Sailor, the Product Support Manager (Lead ‘Loggie’) for the PMW/A170 Air GPS Team, the St. Mary’s County Christmas in April, and—without any doubt—his love for telling his “Been There, Done That” ‘Sea Stories’! Through his stories for every occasion or in the magnificent craftsmanship of his woodworking creations, he brought humor and color into our world that would otherwise be a very dull existence. I will always remember his unique individuality and I will miss him. I kept him in my prayers through his long period of suffering, and now I will extend those prayers to us all to ask our Heavenly Father for a peaceful heart because Tim’s pain has ended. I hope to see Timmy again, standing at the Gates of Heaven with a smile on his face, a handshake and a hardy “WELCOME ABOARD SHIPMATE!” before leading into… “Let me tell you how Jesus picked me to run Heaven’s MW&R when I checked in…”
Jeff and family so very sorry for your loss.
Thoughts and prayers for you and your family.
Please receive our sincerest and deepest condolences. Our prayers are with you in this most difficult time. May God bless you all and give you solace.
I worked with Tim for a couple of years. Guy was not only an expert, but when you told him something was hot, he was on it and had you an answer before you finish asking the question. He was a great American.
