Timmy and I worked together at the Pulaski Hospital Kitchen. He made going to work so much fun, even though we were serving trays and doing dishes. He had a quick smile and a great sense of humor. I remember we went for a ride after work in his MGB convertible, and back in those days we turned some heads:). I didn't see him again after high school, so I will always remember him as a he was then, handsome and a prime athlete.

We cheered him on in football, and I always admired him at school, the way he carried himself, and his kindness.
