Dale Mills and I arrived back home in Boone about 7:00PM
this evening. Dale will be leaving for
in the morning after spending the night with us in Boone. Joining Dale and I in
Don Rutowski, Bill and Janet Owen. The memorial for
Tim was both emotionally moving and also very heart
warming. The Hannigan family accepted us all as
"Family" and I think I can speak for all of us when I say
we are truly adopted BROTHERS. My words tonight are road traveled
tired and the fatigue will not let me truly
express my love for the Hannigan family. I can tell
you that remembering Tim is a daily battle that forever
dwells in my mind... this experience was healing for me and gave some semblance
of peace to my thoughts, even
though tears flow as I type.
Terry, Mary, Joe, Patrick, Annie, Francis.... THANK YOU. You are truly an
"All American" family. I will rest
tonight with the warming feeling that comes from having touched and having
been touched by Tim's Spirit
through the extension of your love.
Mary Doyon, please know that the flowers provided by the 6-31 were beautiful
and most appreciated.
Once again we were lead by our CO Capt. (
and we were all so honored that he joined us in tribute to Tim. (We knew he
would). Good night to all may you rest
tonight in Love and Peace. Al Olson

On behalf of Tim’s family I want to
extend this somewhat informal thank you to you and the organization for your
efforts in announcing the memorial for Tim and for providing the lovely flower
arrangement. The flowers were taken from the church altar following the
memorial mass and placed on Tim’s grave by Col. Bill Owen and Al Olson, Dale
Mills, Don Rutkowski, and Bob Smith.
There were several members of Tim’s immediate and extended family
in attendance. By far, the most moving and highest tribute to Tim’s
memory came from the presence and kind words of these five outstanding men.
It was coincidence that placed them together in the snows of Ft Lewis and
the swamps of
On behalf of Tim’s family, I again
thank you for all your organization has done to support these heroes.
