Always Honest, Always Fair

When I moved to New york about 8 years ago, I came with the hope that I would be able to find work, knowing it would be hard being 40 years old and trying to uproot and move to the toughest town in America. After weeks and weeks of searching I had begun to give up.  Sitting in a bar on the upper west side with Jennifer Helman, with whom I was staying and an old and dear friend of Timmy's, Jen dialed her phone.."Hey sweetheart", she said "I've got a friend sitting here whose desperate for work, he knows his stuff Tim and I think he would work out well for you."....."Tell him to be at Irving Plaza at 2a.m. tomorrow". Were Timmy"s words. Since that day in april many years ago,I have done 100's of jobs with this Dear Sweet Wonderful Man. I had worked with the best before and it was obvious to me that Tim was one of them, not just his attention to safety and detail that defined him..but always his perpetual honesty and fairness that he extended to everyone he worked with. I also watched his "Mother Lion" toughness when it came to less than perfect treatment of his crew.  And we were TIMMY'S Crew. This is the hardest thing I've ever had to do, just trying to come to terms with Tim's passing is going to take a long time for all of us, the grief and sadness I feel for Jill and the girls is at times unbearable and I truly hope that their Faith and the Love and Care of Tim's family and friends will provide some small comfort in the trying times that lay ahead. I truly believe that if Timmy had a last wish it would be for the business he put his Heart and Soul in to continue...and I know he would want everyone to do their best and to look out for each other. So as for all of us, the ones that know each other and the ones who have yet to meet, may we hold tight to the Memory of Tim
