On February 26th in 1984, a very kind and peaceful man lost his life. This page and today is dedicated to his memory

This page may be emotional to people that knew Tim, it isn't meant to be sad as also this month has good as well. My wedding anniversary, Valentine's day for examples. This is just a time and place of remembrance of a passed loved one.
In Japan, many homes have a "Butsudan", a small family altar. The passed members of the family portraits are hung over it. When visiting someones home you give a gift or say a short prayer of respect at the family altar. Family Altar "Butsudan"This is not ancestor worship, but only a form of memorial and respect. I like this, as I too would like my future generations to remember me and not to just bury and forget as it is sometimes done in America. So I made a family altar in my home and also this meager web page ( as a online computer page "Butsudan" of sorts)
to honor and remember one of the most important people of my life here on earth. My brother Tim.
I believe that regular remembrance and memorial, such as how it is done in Japan, gives us a since of eternity and immortality here on earth.
I have done weddings, in which a parent has passed. A portrait and sometimes urn are on the front pew. When I finish the wedding ceremony, I go over and bow to the parents, living and deceased. I like such honor and remembrance.

I started out my journey in life as an EMT. I saw people at their worse times. The day they had a car accident, the day they had a heart attack, the day they were raped, the day they died or were murdered. Happy times, such as a birth, were very rare. I was also involved in Self-defense, security and investigations. Also, seeing people do bad things. All of this negativity and unbalance, started making me cynical.
I now have a ministry and regularly do weddings, seeing people on their happiest days. I also operate a Children Assistance Mission in Indonesia. All of this balances me out. It makes me view life, living and death in a much different way. I strongly recommend you get involved in something good and charitable, it really does wonders on your soul and outlook.

1957 - 1984

June 19th 1957 - February 26th 1984

Foot Prints

One night a man had a dream. He dreamed
he was walking along the beach with the LORD.

Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.
For each scene he noticed two sets of
footprints in the sand: one belonging
to him, and the other to the LORD.

When the last scene of his life flashed before him,
he looked back at the footprints in the sand.

He noticed that many times along the path of
his life there was only one set of footprints.

He also noticed that it happened at the very
lowest and saddest times in his life.

This really bothered him and he
questioned the LORD about it:

"LORD, you said that once I decided to follow
you, you'd walk with me all the way.
But I have noticed that during the most
troublesome times in my life,
there is only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why when
I needed you most you would leave me."

The LORD replied:

"My son, my precious child,
I love you and I would never leave you.
During your times of trial and suffering,
when you see only one set of footprints,
it was then that I carried you."

Tim and "Foot" ( Tim loved animals).

Tim was a High School Football and Baseball Star

This Songs Lyrics:

You Raise Me Up

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

There is no life - no life without its hunger;
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

You raise me up: To more than I can be.
