SERVED IN THE FAMOUS 3RD ARMY UNDER GENERAL GEORGE PATTON. HE FOUGHT THE ENEMY THROUGHOUT EUROPE AND SAW A LOT OF ACTION, INCLUDING LANDING AT UTAH BEACH ON D-DAY, FIGHTING IN THE FREEZING COLD AT THE BATTLE OF THE BULGE, AND LIBERATING THE HOLOCAUST SURVIVORS AT BELSEN. PROUD TO HAVE SERVED HIS COUNTRY. TIMOTHY LIVED TO BE 93 YEARS OLD, AND WILL RECEIVE A FULL MILITARY BURIAL ON WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 2008. WE WILL ALL MISS HIM. BUT IN THE WORDS OF GEORGE PATTON, 'IT IS FOOLISH AND WRONG TO MOURN THE MEN WHO DIED. RATHER WE SHOULD THANK GOD THAT SUCH MEN LIVED.'
