Tim was one funny kid in elementary school (James Madison). I had him practically in every grade all through school, and grew up in the same neighborhood. He was so mechanically inclined, and such an inventor. He was one guy in school that had a spring in his walk, by this: for those who did or didn't know Tim, every time he'd walk he had a "tip-toe spring" meaning he'd walk almost of his tip-toes, but an added spring to it. Tim loved sports and his bike. I remember he hung around with Craig Hawkins and Dewey Barnett or Burnett a.k.a. "Fly Paper" because he was sooooo skinny. I have good memories of Tim and was sadden by his death - I believe from a Back Hoe accident, shortly after graduation. I don't recall him having any brothers or sisters but could be wrong. I remember him being in Boy-Scouts and was pretty close to his dad. He was a nice kid in elementary school, and a great guy in high school. I'm glad I had the opportunity to have met Tim and still able to call him Friend. R.I.P - Tim

I remember when his adopted Mother Marie snuck in his room with a pair of scissors and cut a large chunk of his hair off while he was asleep, Yep he was a little more than angry about that, but soon got past it, his adopted parents Harry and Marie were great people, and I found that just a few years ago they were residing in an assisted living facility in Clovis and died within a month of one another.

Tim actually had a twin Brother, they were put up for adoption at birth I believe, I am unaware if he ever was able to meet his brother, although it is highly likely that he looked him up at some point, his parents did not tell him that a brother existed until he was in High School, they had their reasons and I won't venture at a guess.
