Heartfelt sentiments shared by Tim's sister, Janet:
This is extremely heartbreaking to share, my brother passed away yesterday evening, Wednesday March 13th. I'm devastated. He fought valiantly against diabetes and kidney failure until the end. Tim was born with cerebral palsy but that didn't stopped him from working for many MANY years. His health really declined in recent years ~ diabetes, heart attack, infections, amputation of fingers, and most recent his toe. He also did dialysis at home. Heart function wasn't good at all, along with his eye site... He was courageous and full of strength until the end, more so then I would had been. I truly believe his attitude and positive spirit helped him fight for many years... Heartbroken..
The Gate River Run is this morning ~~
An awesome memory when my brother Tim did this in the 80's ❤. The biggest challenge was going across the Hart Bridge..
