The 82nd Airborne is a storied division of our Military. Thanks, Soldier! We’re a better country because of you. Thank you, Hero!
I will always remember Tim and our interactions at St. Paul’s. He regularly posted the news headlines on the bulletin board and always had something witty to say! One day he asked me about the process of bowing to the altar from the pew before going to the altar. I showed him a bow and another semi-kneel which he equated as a curtsy to God! Well that stuck and always afterwards we shared a smile remembering the God curtsy!
You were a great guy who came into the Roadrunner store for milk and to tell a joke. Godspeed buddy.
