Alan and are so sad to hear the news of Tim’s death. We have such Awesome fun memories of Tim. One day at the pool
(Bayview Condo) Dee, Alan and I laughing and sharing how lucky we were to live in such a beautiful condo and enjoy the scenery. The ocean and the boats passing by. Tim shared his knowledge of business tips to Dee and helped her with ideas of employment. Tim was such a kind man and generously helpful in so many ways.

Sarah. We are shocked and saddened by the loss of Tim. He was always so full of life. I am grateful you guys could make it to the class reunion. Please let the family know the class 0f 1967 will miss him very much.

In Deadwood, class seating was often alphabetical. Tim and I were often seated next to each other. I have many fond memories of Tim and our happy, healthy class of ’67. We were fortunate to have so many 12-year students in the beautiful Black Hills.
May God bless all of Tim’s family and friends and may Tim’s soul shine on.

My condolences and prayers go out to Tim’s family. I am one of the ’67 gang, and Tim was a great classmate and football buddy. I am saddened by his passing and thankful we were able to reconnect at the class reunion.
And Tim–I hope to end up where you are going, so save me a seat.

So very sorry to resad of Tim’s passing.
Alan and I are retired and living in with our two Soft-coated Wheaten Terrier girls in Apex, NC (just outside of Raleigh, NC). Our only daughter, Morgan Loughridge, a high school Math teacher lives with her attorney husband, Cody and two teenage sons, Beau and Sawyer, live in nearby, Holly Springs, NC which means that we at least get to see them occasionally.
If you ever come back to NC to visit, we’d love to see you. My phone # is 918-280-4601.
