âHe will be truly missed by his team members,â says Timâs supervisor, Juanita Haas. âHe was very well-loved and respected, easygoing, never in a bad mood.â

âWhen you think of how many hours are spent in this building by students, it makes a difference when itâs in such good shape,â said graduating student Katie Ives, from Antigonish.âTimâs always working hard to make sure law students have everything they need and that everything is in its place. We really appreciate all the hard work he does,â Ms. Ives added. Â
Tim went on to work at the Arts Centre, where he will be missed by all units, including faculty and students in the Fountain School of Performing Arts (FSPA). âTimâs cheerful presence in the Arts Centre was a constant source of affirmation for all of us in FSPA," says director Jacqueline Warwick. "He had a gift for making each person he spoke with feel valued, and he contributed enormously to making our school into a community.â
Facilities Managementâs Director of Operations Darrell Boutilier echoed the statements above, adding, âTim was a great employee and wonderful person.â
