My father was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease at the age of 50, and fought this debilitating disease for almost 20 years. Courage and determination were present every day with my dad. He never gave up, not once! Golfing was his passion and he would tee up every day if he could, but his body would say no more. The years got harder and harder for my dad, until little fight was left. Timothy was very brave and taught so many of us to persevere through tough times. We will forever remember my dad's tenacity and the will to fight until his last breath. His family and friends will treasure our memories with our Hero Crazy Fish. We love you, and you will forever be in our hearts.
