This is the amazing eulogy given by Tim's dad, Tom Maurer. It is a spot-on picture of our precious son.
My theme today will be about how proud I was of my son.
Now, it may seem strange to say a father is proud of a son who did not have a job and who took his own life. But, I was so proud of him. And I hope when i am done telling you about him you will see why. I feel very lucky that I told Tim how proud I was of him while he was still with us. We went to a Magic game in January and ate at the same Italian restaurant where we ate before every game. I told him I was proud of him. He wouldn’t believe me but I tried to make him see.

He was handsome. And not just because I used to look like him before the ravages of time. Just look at all these pictures.
Rochelle just told me a story that happened on their honeymoon last year.
They booked a dinner cruise in Savannah. Seemed like a romantic thing to do until they found out that everyone on the boat was 40 years older than them. They still had a good time. For the entertainment portion a couple of people were selected to come up on the stage and dance. Despite his physical disability Tim not only went up but he boogied down. The old ladies loved him. The one sitting next to Rochelle said ”He better save some of those moves for later tonight!”
