Tim truly loved his job and was great at it. You could tell he like the residents and they liked him. He cared for my husband and would always ask if I needed anything. We will sincerely miss him
We worked at Damsite way back in the 90's. After I got off of work Tim made me his mixed drink test taster. Thank god he would also have someone drive me home. They were hella good drinks too. He loved being a bar tender. Good guy, god bless.
