Tim, I wish I had seen this page sooner. We were academy mates in the 131st back in 1991, and I was devastated but honored to be a pall bearer at your funeral. I think of you often and the fun that we had in academy together and later on the streets. You had such a great heart, enthusiasm for life, and compassion for citizens and fellow cops. Miss you brother...
