Thank you for posting that. He was way too young to be leaving us!

Did he continue to play after his induction into the Hall of Fame?

Hello Lee, yes he did. About a year before he was inducted into the Sacred Steel Hall of Fame, he loss his right leg due to diabetes but he got around pretty good with his prosthetic. Please keep his wife in your prayers.

Thanks for sharing this! This is the first I have heard of his playing. I enjoy hearing different Steel Guitarists approach to the instrument. He was talented and really great sounding Non Pedal Steel player.

Thanks for sharing this great video tribute.
I love his music. It sounds like Robert Randolph learnt a few things off him.
RIP Tim sad to see another sacred steeler leaving this earth at a young age

Condolences to the family. He was a great player and a very nice man. I only met him a few times, but I really enjoyed our conversations.
