EULOGIES & CONDOLENCES
I met Tim at the Moose Lodge and he captivated me from the get-go. Being a fan of trains that I am, Tim's stories from working for CSX always got me excited. His recounting of seeing Pink Floyd at Clemson got me excited. His sociability and kindness were what defined him (to me). Lastly, he is responsible for the one and only low-country boil I've ever experienced, and I am eternally thankful for that. My father (Cliff) and I mourn this loss, and will miss him very, very much.
I am so very sorry to hear of the loss of Pam’s husband. Having worked with Pam I know how much she loved him. The loss of those we love is never easy as we are left without them but Heaven will rejoice at gaining a new angel. Sending prayers for comfort and peace for Pam and the family.

He certainly could make everyone laugh or smile. He was precious and my heart hurts for the past few years of illness he experienced. He was an example to each of us on how to be happy and give that happiness away. His wife Pam is one of the most sincere and caring people I have ever met. May God be with Pam and each family member during this difficult time. Gary and I send our love and prayers.
So sorry to hear about Tim’s passing. I worked with Tim on yard job in Spartanburg when he started working on the Clinchfield we would meet at Meadow Brook Golf Course and then go to work. Tim was always joking and laughing I truly enjoyed working with him. I know you all will be missing that big smile. Thoughts and prayers for all of you Tim will be missed by all who knew him
Will miss our friend with the great personality and big smile. Glad we got to know him - he was a blessing to all.
I worked at the Moose lodge where Tim was a member for a number of years I will always remember that he was the sweetest and funniest man I have ever met you knew when he walked in it was going to be a fun time I will never forget him my prayers go out to his family and may he rest in peace after all he went through these past couple of years
From the first day you met Tim your felt like you had known him your entire life! Warm, geniune, fun and honest he was to us fellow railroaders. He was a genius and could add, subtract and multiply three figured numbers in his head. Most memorable to me will be his quick wit, care for others and his full engaging laughs!
RIP my brother. Love you man.
