My heart goes out to you Carol in this tragic loss. It sounds like he was a wonderful man. I know that you are very strong and will get through this. I am sure your heart is broken. Thinking of you at this very sad time.
My deepest sympathy to the Matthews family. Tim grew up in my neighborhood in East Rochester. He was always happy. Always so friendly. It’s sad to see him gone now and he will be missed. I do remember him driving around in his car. He was a real car buff. A lot of great memories with Tim and his brother Terry growing up. Hoping the family will find peace and comfort during this time. Prayers.
