My condolences to the family
RIP Tim
My condolences to the family
He was an amazing man. He always helped the kids at church. He was always there for you. If you needed them he had a wonderful wife. His daughter has his spirit, loving, caring a nursery.
Tim “Lefty” as we knew him was a very compassionate man. We enjoyed hearing him sing when he’d visit our church and at different events. Linda, Phillip and I are mourning with you and rejoicing with our brother and we pray God would wrap His comforting arms around you and the family. He fought a good fight and kept the faith.
My prayers are with you and your family, Linda.
So sorry for your loss!
We never met, but knowing all you did for others I know you are at piece and with our Lord.
Tim had a generous heart and gave encouragement and love and support to many. Many were blessed by his “Prayer Bears”.
