My memories of Timmy and Lenny (as we called them then) are from North Junior. They were great guys. I am glad to see the current picture of Tim posted now with this "In Memory" posting -- as it shows that he still had that great friendly smile.
Along with MIke Massey, I add my own prayer -- rest in peace.
