Sorry it has taken me so long to write this but the pain is just more than I can bare. My best friend who was also my big brother lost his battle with ALS or what most people know as Lou Gehrigs disease. Im sure I spelled Gehrig wrong! Tim was my big brother but he was also so much more than that to me. He was my hero mentor and what I always liked to call my second dad. He always kept me out of trouble! He is survived by two brothers, wife of 20 years and a six year old son.
For those who have the pleasure of knowing Buckleboy he met Tim several times and can vouch for how wonderful of a person he really was.
He was not a member of Tnet but he looked at the finds on this site all of the time. He so enjoyed seeing the past come out of the ground.
Everytime me and my big bro went hunting he always smoked my behind! He always got the find of the day if we were hunting an old yard or in Virginia hunting for relics.
Tim I miss you so much. You were such a big part of my life but for some reason God needed you more than we did. I will see you again someday and you better have that detector ready!!!!!

Re: Good bye to my best friend
Sorry to hear about your loss my sister passed away back in October I know where you are coming from on the pain it's like a piece of your heart dies with them! As long as you live right you will see them in the afterlife I pray for all who has lost a family member due to the hurt and pain! The way I look at it God has a greater need for them in Heaven! I will pray for you Tom!
Tom, I'm so very sorry to hear about Tim. I can only imagine the pain of loosing a brother. But death isn't the end, now he's up there with our Father and you'll be reunited with him one day. I bet he's up there enjoying his new body and smiling down on you and wanting you to continue diggin' and living for him!

Re: Good bye to my best friend
Tom I am so sorry to hear this , there are not words that can be said when you lose someone you love .
I just know that they are in a better place and they will be waiting for us to get there .
Few things I love to do is , Metal Detecting for anything of the past!
Making Detectors better ! Tuning and finding ways to upgrade Detector hardware , To make them work the Best that is possable !
Thanks for all the kind words it really does help. I wish all of you could have went out and dug a few holes with him. It would been a hunt you would have never forgot. He had such a great sense of humor! BTW his very first silver coin was a 1903 half dollar. Seems like he brought that up everytime we talked.
I lost a precious sister last July, so I know exactly what you're going through. We don't always understand why, but maybe someday we will.
