My deepest sympathies for your loss. Tim was a good man and a good friend. While no words can take away the pain of your loss, I hope this little memory of how Tim helped my family makes you smile:
Tim got a literature-based test question wrong in English class back in high school. When the teacher explained the correct answer, Tim defended his with examples from the book. The teacher gave Tim the points back without hesitation. This came to mind when my daughter failed a quiz for reasons she did not understand a month ago. I told her what Tim did, my daughter emailed her defense to the teacher, and the teacher responded by changing my daughter’s grade to a 100%.
Thank you, Tim, for setting an example that helped my daughter pass her test!
