  3. So very sad to hear about Tim passing. My husband and I met Tim on our road at camp. We were stuck and he helped us. Something that happened as a stranger helping us turned into so much more. Through out the years we built a beautiful friendship.From talking on the phone during the week to seeing him every weekend after he was done pumping oil. He was someone that would help you and not think twice about it. May you rest in peace timmy

    But let me tell you could he tell a story.
    His stories would be colorful to say the least and could make a trooper blush.
