Dear Janie, When I was hired at Wheeling Pittsburgh Steel in 2004, I met Tim on a walk through of the plant. Although I had decades of steel making experience, coming into a different plant was difficult. Fortunately for me Tim helped me feel welcome. In the process we became good friends. I will always cherish our friendship, whether golfing or just talking to each other about many common interest's. May you find nothing but fairways and greens my friend. Very Respectfully, Harry McFarland.

I am so very sorry to hear about Tim's passing. We both grew up in the same general neighborhood area, and I went to school with Tim and his siblings. We played together as kids. I also knew the Mahans for many years, as well. Rest in peace, Tim. My deepest sympathy to all of the family.
