    I just heard the news of Tim's passing. I am crushed. I send my deepest condolences to Tim's family. I recently worked with Tim on a mechanical project at Bristol VA. What a wonderful man! I loved talking to Tim! He was very challenging to me in our discussions as he wanted to know all features and benefits of the product we were giving him. Very knowledgeable, and inquisitive. Tremendous amount of industry knowledge and experience. He added humor to our long conversations, which were injected at the right time and duration. I am very sad today, Tim will be missed terribly. God Bless to Tim's family please stay strong. Rick Cota
