Hey, TJ,
I never signed your book before...I really don't know why. I thought about that the other day and wanted to rectify my not telling you how much I appreciated the way you loved and took care of my daughter...I know you are still at it...and I thank you for that. She was the happiest I had ever seen her after you two got together.
I miss your smile and jokes and I miss both of you and what might have been so much it hurts. If she had to go young, I glad she had you as a traveling mate. We all miss you but are doing okay. Tell Ruth how much I love her. Love, Kathy

Hey there TJ
I was working on the annual Meet information this past week for our Gymnastics Meet. It brought back a lot of funny memories. Your craziness as the Emcee at the meets mostly. I was thinking mostly of how difficult this year is going to be without you as emcee. You had a way of making it fun not only for the kids but for the adults as well. I especially thought it was funny when we put stickers under the seats and you had the adults all bending over to check their seats for the stickers so that they may win a prize. You told them "not to pick their friends seat". Tour music selctions were always a hit and the other thing is when you make fun of the teenagers-Footlicker and Jordan the bootie pincher. Lots of things come to mind.
Yeah Lois mentioned I had bracelets made for you/her and Brandon. AS you know, Tori wears your rings around her neck-all the time. She on occasion has to take them off, to swim, at gym etc.. so I thought this would be a cool way to remember you ALL THE TIME and we wouldnt have to take it off ever. Mainly got them made for Tori and Brandon, but then I thought it would be nice for all the girls who came to the service to wear them. THey all do, we all do. .Everytime I see one on someone's foot or wrist I think of you.
I wont ever stop. You are a cool guy. So many people love you.
Tori seems to be doing good. We check on her all the time. She has day and moments, but you would be glad to know that she carries on your silliness everyday. You cant look at her without seeing you. That is a daily reminder of you. You are with her forever. I know she misses you tremendously. You were there for her always. You still are. We love you and miss you.

Well TJ, Its going on 3 months since you have been gone...and I really dont believe it has gotten any easier for any of us. I sat here tonight at my computer screen watching a slideshow of pictures.. yours came up.. dressed as the Grinch. I found myself starting to cry and feeling so much pain all over again. Im sure Tori has told you... but Mrs. Christy had bracelets made for you and gave them to Tori as a gift. I wear that bracelet everyday to keep you close always! You are greatly missed by all of us! We love you always!

Your dear friend: Lois

Tee Jay affected and touched so many. I thought I was one of the few that knew what a special guy he was, I could not have been more wrong. He is truly one of a kind and I am very glad to call him a close friend. He was someone that had affected my life in a very positive way. I feel safe in saying that he has done the same for more then a few people.

Tee Jay’s life was about happiness, family and friendship. I am sure that he would want us to remind ourselves about all the good times we had with him. That is the way Tee Jay would have wanted it. I could share one of a thousand stories about Tee Jay. He has been a friend since 5th grade. It was the 6th grade when he and Gene teamed up. They were like 4 feet tall and I was about 6 foot then. They would just swoop around me like some pesky little nats that I could never swat! I figured I needed to become friends with them or they would bug me the rest of my life. Well I did become a friend to them. They still bugged me until this day.

It is kind of ironic that he died in a car accident because he was in about 10 of them back in high school. Although he was not driving in most of them and they were all minor fender benders. I also thought that he was indestructible and could not feel physical pain. I know because I tried to hurt him a few time and I would end up getting hurt myself.

One my fondest memories is of one cold and windy prom night our freshman year. We came up with the Idea of ruining JJ’s prom night. I think it was our freshman year because JJ was the only one who could drive or maybe it was our 8th grade year that he could drive. LOL Anyway we were out running around North East until the wee hours of the morning trying to find JJ. JJ had a car and we were on foot. But some how we found JJ and he was nice enough to drive us around so we could warm up.

When it came time to find some place to sleep we had no place to go. We all told our parent that we were at each others house for the night so we could not go home. We decided to go to Tee Jay’s house because his mom was the coolest and most understanding one. Instead of going inside that nice worm house, we decided to sleep in the old shack outback. I don’t know if you remember, but that shack was once used to keep rabbits in. It didn’t have a window and only a screened in door. I am not sure how many of us were crammed in there; I think 5 or 6 in this little shack. There was a chair, some boxes, rabbit pins and one nasty blanket. Tee Jay, Chris B and I fought over that blanket for about 2 hours. Tee Jay won of course. He was so happy that he was able to get that smelly, nasty blanket from two guys over 6 feet. I remember looking over at him all rapped up in that blanket with his eyebrow pointing up in the air and giving us his little laugh.

My little friend I will always remember you.

Thanks for being one of a kind to so many people.

Love Matt

I'm just stunned as I learn the news of Teej's passing. I can't imagine the hole that he will leave for those closest to him. I will always remember him as the guy who would never conform. The world (or at least high school) needs more people like him. I am sad that he is gone, but I can't help to smile when I think of him. Who didn't smile around him?

It is my deepest sympathy and reguard that I give to you the family of my friend TJ. I worked with TJ 20 years ago when we were DJ's with Bob Floyd. TJ was a real "LIVE WIRE" when he was in front of a crowd. He alway had something funny to say and I enjoyed the times I worked the crowds with him. I was saddened when Bobby told me of his departure, but comforted in the thought, that he's in a much better place. God Bless You All ! that in a much better place, entert

Tee Jay's family raised a great son who knew how to make someone feel special. My older sister Maureen was a senior in high school with Tee Jay when I was in 4th grade. She let me decorate her notebooks and when she was not around I went in her bookbag and took out some other notebooks and drew little flowers and people all over them. Turned out they were Tee Jay's notebooks and she was mortified that I drew on them. She was worried what Tee Jay would say. The next day Tee Jay sent home all of his notebooks for me to decorate. From then on he always made me feel special and would come and get me to sit with the bleacher bums at the NE basketball games. When Maureen graduated from college and I was graduating from the 8th grade. Tee Jay showed up at the party with a bunch of balloons and a red corvette and took me for a ride, I felt like Cinderella. He always made me smile and I hope that I always remember to take the time to make a difference in a young person's life.

TJ. You will never realize how you effected my life. You were my best friend growing up. He have helped mold what I am today. I know that we have not kept up over the years with the moves that we had made. The thought that I haden't spoke to you since last year and I just found your number a week before I heard of the news, will haunt me for the rest of my life. I'm not a religious man but I hope to run into you down the road at another time. If there is a Heaven, then maybe You, I and God will sit down, have a pint and sort this mess out. I love ya and will miss you bro, Gene

I am lucky and proud to have worked along side of TJ on a stage. He taught me most of the things I know about mixing music in the pit and he taught me that the air guitar solo is only truly effective if performed on top of a speaker stack. I'll never forget my first memory of TJ. I was 7 years old and he showed up to my dad's 40th Birthday party in his Mr. Bubble t-shirt and a tuxedo coat with tails. I also remember him as being the only grown-up with more toys than me. I know he's happy in the great upstairs with OOC by his side. He's probably thrilled that he finally gets to hang out with Michael Hutchence of INXS. TJ's love for 80s music is unsurpassed. TJ, your friendship was "Just What I Needed" and I wish you could come back one more time so we could "Let the Music Play" and help "Everybody Have Fun Tonight". You were never "Too Shy" and you used to "Rock This Town". You experienced everything from "Life in a Northern Town" to "Walking on Sunshine" and you were never afraid to "Relax" and "Bust a Move" in the "Wild, Wild, West". You made this place no "Ordinary World" and hopefully we won't "Come Undone" now that you're gone. So I'm sending you this "Message in a Bottle" to tell you I'll never forget "The Way You Make Me Feel".

Although I never knew TJ I can see that every life he touched is the better for it. In his smile you can see someone full of life and love. May God take care of him now in heaven and may he continue to watch over each of you. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May God bless you as you embark on this next chapter in your lives.

My good friend TJ taught me so much in this life. I had the great fortune of learning about life on a stage performing with him for others. He, myself and Bob Floyd along with a host of other folks entertained for people here in Tampa and around the country for many years. The last time I spent with TJ, he had met Bob and I for dinner in Phoenix. We ended up drinking a lot of beer and waiting up all night to see who actually won Florida to win the presidential election back in 2000. One of TJ's most endearing qualities was though a good amount of time had past since we had last seen each other, it always felt as though a day hadn't passed. We always picked up right where we left off. I missed an opportunity to see him two Christmas' ago, when he came to Tampa to visit. Like TJ, I ended up in the car business which consumes your life and I couldn't break away. His passing has taught me the ultimate lesson of our brief time here on earth. I have five children, a woman that I love and a bunch of people I like to call my friends and I need to spend more time with them. TJ, as he has been written about countless times in this guestbook, found that time for his family, his church and his friends and he was still making an impact on all of them each and every day. To his little girl Tori, I remember being one of the first people to congratulate him as he told me that your Mom was pregnant with you as we pulled out of the Syms parking lot because we both had to buy new bowties for the bar mitzvah we were djing for that night. It was truly from that point on that the focal point in that man's life was that little girl. Tori, everytime he and I talked since he left Tampa, the conversation was dominated by you. I know my friend is now jumping off a speaker stack while strumming an air guitar for God. He's bringing joy to someone if not and entire crowd of people up there in heaven while singing "Shout" or "You shook me all night long." For those who missed his impersonation of a priest during "Shout" you have really missed him at the top of his game. If you never had the opportunity to hear him beat match two 12 inch singles and never miss a beat, I'm glad to say I was there. I wish all the best and love to his family and never hesitate to call upon me if you ever want to hear about the awesome experiences we had together. Every moment we spent was nothing short of a good time because he had such a zest for life and a desire to live it to its fullest. I hope he knows how truly lucky he was in that life.

TJ was my younger sister Kelly's friend at NEHS, and I would just like to add my thoughts about TJ. He was probably the most hilarious people I ever knew but still he had such a sweet spirit. I must admit, I recall less about the actual boys' basketball games and more about TJ's "entrance" to the games. He would come in at half time or between games often in a costume like a priest's garb or a Hawaiian shirt in the middle of a Pennsylvania winter. All eyes would go to TJ, who would trip up the bleachers or do some other gag. Laughter, such laughter. And WHAT a great Bob Dylan imitation!!! He will be much missed.

Bob Floyd

Thursday, June 19, 2008

This is to all who knew TJ, If you hung around TJ for any length of time I am sure he told you about the time he was part an entertainment company down in Florida. I was the guy he worked for. He came into my life like a rocket loose in a room and my life has not been the same since that day. He was a guest at a show I did. "How do I get into this business?" is what he said to me that night. TJ was made for show business. God gave TJ all the tools of a showman. His personality was electric and his charisma was magnetic. He was one of the greatest mimics I have ever known. There was not a sound he could not imitate or an accent he could not duplicate. He was one of best free style dancers to ever walk out on stage with me. His knowledge of music (especially his era) was comprehensive. I traveled all over this country with TJ and he was one of the most talented showmen I ever shared a stage with. I always thought I was pretty good at what I did. With his permission I started stealing technique from TJ the moment I met him. He had the magic signal and an indefinable way of saying certain things with a mic in his hand that could not be improved upon. TJ was also a pal. Countless nights he would come by my house on his way home from work and have supper with my family and I. There was always a place set for him. Many times we would arrive back at my house after shows and all the guys would go for a dip in my pool at 2 or 3 in the morning and sit there and talk for another hour. When I got up the next morning many times TJ was asleep on my couch. He knew he was family. TJ and his faithful dog "Ooc" (stands for Out of Control) were legendary amongst the kids in my neighborhood. He almost always had Ooc with him when he came to visit. The kids would see his car coming and would all congregate around him like he was passing out ice cream cones. Ooc could do tricks that no other dog could do, like do an Elvis Presley imitation. I am not kidding. These kids, all grown now, still talk about TJ & Ooc. When he would come down to visit his Mom & Dad he would always call me and we would get together. The last time I saw him was Christmas before last and it was like he had never moved away. We fell right back into our old bits and routines. He brought Tori out the next night and they watched a show we were doing for a little while. It was all he could do not to climb up on stage with me. After talking to TJ's Mom last week i realized that many of his more recent friends have had no exposure to TJ as an entertainer or at least never got to see him in his prime doing what he was made to do, light up rooms and every one in it. TJ approached audiences of 5000 just like he did audiences of 5. His delivery did not change at all. His delivery was very personal. I thought I would add this message to give a little insight into that part of his past. To TJ, There are a lot of us old stage dwellers that are going to miss you boy. I have been rounding up pictures for your Mom and I forgot how much fun we use to have. Give old Frank, Elvis, Jimi, Buddy Holly & the Big Bopper a high five for me. I know you and Ooc are back together again so the next time I see you I want Ooc doing a St. Peter Imitation. My thoughts and prayers are with your family and if there is anything I can ever do for them - I got your back. Love Ya Man - Shake It Easy - Bob

When you see your old pal "ook" give him a big hug for me and crank up your favorite Police album so we can all hear it back here on earth. I bet God has an awesome sound system in Heaven. Love and Peace to you, Syndi "Louie" p.s. I promise- I only glued the covers of your books together one time. : )

Wow.. TJ... As I sit here and read all the entries in your guestbook, I smile, laugh, cry and feel so much love for you and who you were. I will NEVER forget those serious conversations about life and what you went through and were going through after gym in the parking lot... and the many times I would come out to my car to find your face print on my window! I'll never ever forget that face and they way you could just roll it across my windows.. hehe.. =). You truely were an amazing father and friend and will never be forgotten! I know that I am not alone when I say that I think about you everyday! Your preacher talked about the gift of TJ and I truely believed you posessed so many great gifts and I also believe you passed on those gifts to your children Brandon and Tori! They are two amazing children and they are holding on strong for you because they know thats how you would want them to be. You know that I love your family with all my heart and will always do ANYTHING for them! Even if it means hiding the tears, smiling, and letting them know that it will be okay.. you better believe I will do it. We all miss you and love you so much. Please keep smiling up there and being your goofy ole self. I know that you are looking down on us and we will see you later! =) Your family is always in my thoughts and prayers!

Of all my friends, I think you knew me and my moods more than anyone else - we were so much alike in that way. Olivia and I will miss you very much. You always had a way to bring a smile to my face and I will so miss talking about comic books, superheroes, movies and music with you!! I'm at a loss, wondering who my fellow movie critic will be now. I will always cherish the Buffy comics you surprised me with and will always especially love how you never thought it weird that an almost 40-year old woman still liked comic books!! We love you TJ and miss you!!! Torie, our thoughts are with you and we love you! Q and O

TJ who cristened me with the name "Bam". Tim was just a good all around guy who was fun to be around. I remember him trying to take my legs out in football practice and he would stand there with that funny grin on his face when I'd say something. He turned out to be a fine and upstanding man with a deep affection for his family. Know that I send my condolences and sympathy for his family especially his kids and sister whom he was very close to. You're all in my thoughts & prayers. God bless you Tim. You will be missed.

Mr. Tj.... What can I say. AS I sit here and read all these blogs about you I just can't help but to laugh and cry at the same time. I love to read all the funny things about you and as I read it , I say yeah... .that is TJ. I remember when we first met, you guys were competing for RC Cabot. You Stephanie and I always seemed to connect. I am glad we all got to know each other over the years thru the girls competing. I remember early on the girls decided to do their Level 4 routine for a talent show at Fellowship. I was so happy to hear that you guys were coming to HnP. It has been a true blessing getting to know you over the past 6 years. You always had a smile on your face, a funny story to tell. You had all those crazy voices, and man did you ever know your songs. I appreciate all you have done for ALL the kids at HNP. So many of them looked up to you and wanted to hang out with you because of your fun loving nature. You were the PERFECT GRINCH. John doens't know how he is going to be able to do the Sweetheart Meet without you. You were the perfect EMCEE and kept everyone entertained . I particularly love the way you acted goofy with all the kids, From the nicknames, MONKEY, POPPER, FOOT LICKER, BOOTIE PINCHER.. all of them. I know you impacted a lot of people. I will especially miss seeing you and hanging out with you at WRC. This is such a tragedy for all of us.. but mostly your precious children. I think I can speak for a lot of people and say we will all do our best to look after them. I know you will be looking down on them everyday.. they will talk to you everyday. You are in our hearts on on our minds forever. With all our love. The Ellis Family

What can I say, TJ would make you smile the minute he walked through the doors of HNP. I am so going to miss him, his crazy sense of humor and our conversations of music. Now I will have to play Flogging Molly louder so he can hear! He will be greatly missed by everyone who's lives he touched, no matter how briefly. My deepest sympathies go out to the family for their loss.

TJ you are an awesome guy who brought laughter and joy to everyone you came in contact with. Especially everyone in my family. When I had a hard day at work and drove down to Jacksonville from Searcy to watch Allyson for 3 hours you could always turn my Sober mood into a good one. I will mostly miss your presence, b/c you did have a BIG PRESENCE about you. Everyone knew when you were in the building. I will miss every one of your little quirks. the noises you make at the meets and everyone knows what I am talking about, to all the nick names you had for all the girls. You will be greatly missed. Until we meet again... Cindy Ferren

TJ was an awesome guy who brought laughter and joy to everyone he came in contact with. Especially everyone in my family, from my oldest daughter Allyson, to Morgan, to Garrison, my youngest son. He had a very pleasant personality that shined through him, making anyone he met talk to him. When I had a hard day at work and drove down to Jacksonville from Searcy to watch Allyson for 3 hours he could always turn my Sober mood into a good one. I think I will especially miss just his presence because he had a B

You were one of the most energetic people I knew, you had so much passion for life and I do miss you so much. I know you are in a much better place but it doesn't make it any easier not having you here. Again I say you have always been a great friend to me and my kids and I didn't tell you enough how much I appreciated everything you did for us. You will always be in my heart and I miss you. We love you TJ!

To T.J.'s children, family and friends, our family sends out our deepest condolences. Our thoughts and our prayers are with you. To know TJ was to love him. He was so full of energy, spririt and life. I just spoke to him a few months ago online and he was still that same guy we graduated with 24 years ago. Knowing he is not here with us physically is so sad and disheartening. But, spiritually, he will be with us forever. We will never forget him.

Tim, You and I were always very close and I will cherish the memories of us growing up and our summers together. Oh brother how you will be missed! You were the only one I ever had you know. I still have 'The Cars' record you gave me back in 1985. It is still in great shape I played it the other day:) Remember your green plaid flannel shirt? I have had that shirt for a good 20 years it always has and always will be one of my favorite shirts. You might not be here physically but you will always be in my memories and in my heart. Until I see you again. I love you Christie

Dear TJ. Your laughter and joy will surely be missed here on earth. I don't think I ever saw you without a smile and gleam in your eye. Your memories will be everlasting to the family left behind, but when we all think of the golden streets you will be walking in now, we will know in our heart of hearts that you are in a better place then we. My prayers and thoughts are with you Dian, Tom and Josie. Always kind of funny that even though we are cousins it was always Aunt Dian for my kids and Aunt Vivian for you kids. Aunt Vivian
