Terribly late but...
Tim and I spent about 12 years together in the United States Air Force at both at Davis-Monthan AFB, Tucson, AZ, and Beale AFB, Yuba City, CA.
Tim taught me how to ride a motorcycle in Tucson. I believe Little Timmy was a toddler at the time and Kristen was just an infant.
Tim also taught me how to snow ski in the Sierra Nevada Mountains in Northern California. Tim, Nancy and I skied regularly for about 6 seasons. I would visit the house on Beale AFB early in the morning for a day of skiing and often wake Little Timmy and Kristen.
I sold my green Datsun 260Z to Tim.
Tim's favorite music during those years? Z Z Top, the Allman Brothers and the Atlanta Rhythm Section. These cassettes were always blasting from the Chevrolet Malibu.
Learning about Tim's passing while doing an internet search for USAF buddies is a shock. Instead of lamenting about Tim's passing I will honor the wonderful times that we spent together. For all the O’Keefe family (including Aunt Barbara) you can walk tall knowing that Tim is a great man.
I will never forget my friend and companion Tim O'Keefe.
