Anyone that knew Timmy knew that he was intensely loyal to people, especially his friends. He was the life of the party, even if he wasn’t invited. He would help anyone that needed him and was very generous. He has a personality all to himself and was wild, exceptional and very caring. He loved his grandson and being a “Pop Pop”. Timmy loved animals especially his raccoon Honey, he found great enjoyment in wildlife that are rehabilitated at The Kastle. Timmy would want his friends and family to always remember…. “I LOVE YOU WHOLE BIG BUNCHES…WINNING!!!!!”
