I wasn't a constant presence in Tim's life. In the late 90s I was introduced to the Lansdale Hardcore Scene through my oldest friend, Mitch Martinez. I quickly met the guys in various bands, including Blue Collar Underworld. So I met Matt, and then Tim, while going to shows, helping carry equipment, eventually doing some photography and art for the scene and the bands. Tim, I remember, rode to quite a few shows with Mitch and I, and I always thought Tim and Matt were the best of humans. I've never felt that I fit in many places in my life, but there were many times that while I hung out with everyone in the scene, La Familia, that I did. Tim and Matt were part of the core guys that welcomed me, hung out, laughed, joked, and shared that time with me. I've never forgot that. I really regret not having the opportunity to know Tim later on. But I do know what it's like being a son, a brother, and a father, and I have no doubt that Tim did his best to be great at all three.
