2 years ago today...

It’s hard to be cheerful this time of year, two years ago, Brad Timpf was violently murdered – for apparently his car, yet no one took anything from him, except for his life.

As time goes on, it’s said that it will help heal you. Unfortunately though, this day is dreaded by so many. I have said it in all of my postings that I just cannot imagine how Brad’s family feels. Here you had a very successful man, in all areas of his life. He was good at everything he did. He was compassionate and caring in so many ways.

I was so lucky to have known him for the years I did. My heart continues to remind me that he was here for a reason. He was here to bless his family with the happiness he rained on them everyday before he died. He really inspired everyone he met and made a mark on them, as he still does.

To Brad’s family – no one will be able to erase the fact that your beloved son, brother, cousin, nephew, grandson and friend is gone, but know that he touched so many people and I believe that everyone is grateful for that…I know I am.

As painful as today must be for you, do not replay in your mind what happened. Think towards the future and remember the greatness he shared with everyone.

Brad was a great guy and everyone knows that – even people who didn’t know him feel as if they did by all of the wonderful things people have to say about him.

RIP

J.P. Taravella High School to Retire Jersey of Former Boys Basketball Star

J.P. Taravella High School to Retire Jersey of Former Boys Basketball Star

CORAL SPRINGS, FL (January 9, 2008) — J.P. Taravella High School will retire the jersey number of former star Bradley Timpf — also a former University of Miami basketball player — during halftime of the Trojans home game against Coral Springs High School on Friday, January 18th.
Timpf played center for Taravella before graduating with high scholastic honors and a full athletic scholarship to the University of Miami in 1992. He went on to play as a forward for UM’s men’s basketball team where he left both schools as a legendary player. Timpf went on to study chiropractic care and became a successful doctor with an office in Coconut Creek.
On December 10, 2006, Brad’s life was violently taken at the hands of another in what appeared to be a botched car jacking. Since January of 2007, family, friends and former patients have been raising money for a college scholarship in memory of Dr. Brad Timpf by selling UM themed silicone wristbands. The scholarship money is awarded annually to a graduating senior from Taravella based on academics and financial need. The memory bracelets say "In loving memory of Dr. Brad Timpf" with a basketball logo and his Taravella and University of Miami basketball jersey number 50.
The game will begin at 7:30 p.m. located at 10600 Riverside Drive, Coral Springs , Florida 33071. There is a $4 cash entrance fee to the basketball game and the memory bands will be on sale.
