My memories of Tim were from the early 70's, and I was very young. He was my cousin on my Mom's side. He might have mentioned Superior, and his Aunt Ruthmarie Lenihan Meys. I was so sorry to hear of his passing, and would love hear from family! My name is Joanie Meys, and you'll find me at joqueenie930@yahoo.com Again, I am so sorry for your loss.
