We are grieving. The search and rescue community in California is grieving. Grieving the loss of one of our family. Eight days ago the call went out, and search and rescue team members from our local teams, from teams as far away as the Bay Area and San Diego, dropped what they were doing and converged on Mt. Baldy. They trudged up her slopes in horrible conditions, with the singular goal of finding Sree. All without any expectation of remuneration. Tim was right there with them.
Tim was a respected member of his SAR family. He exemplified the characteristics of service and courage, which we hold dear. We pray for God's hand on Tim's wife. Tim's family. Tim's students. Tim's West Valley SAR teammates, and all of the people that he touched. He is sorely missed.
