I met Professor Tim through Sinclair Community College. He was my Professor for Spanish class. He was incredible.  He loved teaching , his children and family. I have been thinking about him. I met Teresa also. Thought they were a beautiful couple.

My name was Kay Massie, when I took class with him. I have changed my last name to Pearson,  I got divorced and married to my high school sweetheart,  Mark.
Keeping all of you in my thoughts and prayers!! 🙏 🤲 🙏 ❤️

I remember Tim dancing the salsa at Queena's first wedding and he was a phenomenal dancer. So sorry that he's gone so young 😞🙏

I met Tim when he lived in the apartment across the hall from me. Tim was absolutely   My best neighbor/ amazing friend. My dog loved him instantly and Tim spoiled pig( my dog) , with hot dogs every time Tim seen pig. Tim called him bubba like I do before I even mentioned it to Tim. He was an amazing guy for real would do anything for anybody and did so much for me and My dog. I can’t even believe he’s gone. He was always there for me to talk to, even though I talk so much I’d  get on his nerves andhardly let him get a word in, but he will always  was there to listen and offer advice and share wisdom. l will always remember him for the amazing person he was. He was one of my best friends and I’ll always remember him and how awesome he really was. He was a guy with a huge heart and did anything he possibly could to help me when I had surgery. I’ll miss him a lot, but I’ll remember all the fun times we had.
Me and Bubba love you, buddy. We will miss you so much!

What can I even begin to type here. My Dad never once made me feel like I was ever any different. He gave me all that he had, while playing whatever hand he was dealt. I will always respect and love him. My life has now changed forever, Pops. The countless memories and stories are forever my way to him. I love you Dad and hope you're at peace.

Tim was an awesome brother-in-law.  I would continually be amused by his bargaining ability where he would make deals to secure needed items (i.e household goods, vehicles, lawn equipment, etc.).  Tim was a proud veteran of the United States Army.  Tim enjoyed the company of his family; especially during the holidays and at barbeques where we often played card games.  Throughout the years we worked odd jobs where one of us usually was injured before completing the work, but the joking and laughing were always fun.  Tim’s life was a blessing, his memory a treasure, and he will always be loved beyond words.

Tim was the "baby brother" of our family. A true red head in spirit, and temper. But also loving very much. I remember as a child, I would help him get ready for church on Sundays , putting his little suit together and tie. We were always very close, And I was very proud of his military service.  I took him for his 1st military tattoo  before he went in. He passed out with just the beak of an eagle on his arm, and was so embarrassed,  and begged me to stay with him and talk to him while they finished it. I did, and then I  went with him to tell mom and dad... whew, that was something! I hope you know dear brother,  how dearly loved and missed you are and will be.

I was in high school when Tim and Tama (his twin sister) were born, so I had some early years with them, before leaving home and missing most of their growing up years. Later Tim graduated, joined the Army, and moved away. I was blessed to be godfather of his daughter Ashley. Tim drove and maintained  heavy equipment for the Army in Panema and South America. Later on the GI bill he earned his BS degree in Spanish followed by a Master in Education. His pride was having his own business, Russell Remodeling but it was cut short after his truck accident when he began teaching Spanish for Sinclair College. He loved that and was loved by his students.. Such a shame to lose him to ongoing complications from that accident and at such a young age. Bless and keep my dear brother Timothy Lord. 🙏

My sweet baby brother gone too soon  loved so much. I still see that little redhead into everything. We will be there for your. besutiful family . Rest in peace little brother. Your loving sister, Jeanne

I won't forget you. You were there for me when I was at the lowest point in my life. You welcomed me into your family. We took trips, spent holidays, and pigged out at buffets. I always thought we'd see each other again. 
This life is so strange. How we can spend moments together and those moments just... end. I don't get it. Maybe at the end of this life  I will. I will always remember you. Thank you. 

"When you're born, you are like a single drop of water, flying upward, separated from the one giant consciousness. You get older, you descend back down. You die, you land back down into the water, become one with the ocean again. No more separated. No more suffering. One consciousness. Death is like a happy return, like coming home."
