Just could not let this time of year go by without a comment. Although I'd much prefer to commemorate your birthday; the first week of February does contain milestone events in the minds and hearts of adults and kids alike who shared the shocking news of your passing and the sadness of your funeral service. I know that you can intercede on behalf of all who need a message of hope, "stick to it ness" and confidence. There are so many things more life essential than BB, but the sport is what connects us and so has its own special meaning for us. Thank you Tim for being there for young boys who needed a mentor and for families who needed hope. As your own boys reach adult hood and Morgan navigates the teen years, we hope they alwyas feel your love and presence.

A rare visit to a space and place, that is not only magical...more significantly, timeless. Much Love to the individual of Comment/February, ie Yesterday...you hit that 'box' on the backboard smack on the money...well done. Curious to know who you are...you captured that time so eloquently...Timmy is smiling for sure.

Tim, my work takes me past St. Rose quite often. No matter how busy I am, I pull off to the side road and look at the basketball courts. You were such a great inspiration to me. You were always positive and funny. My dad and I miss you greatly. We talk about you quite often.

WHEN I JUST DROPPED MORGAN OFF IN COLLINGSWOOD FOR A PARTY, THE BOYS HAVE A GIG SOMEWHERE, AND LISA IS AT A PARTY AT ONE OF HER RELATIVES, SO I AM HERE WITH HANNA PUPPY. KEVIN CRAWFORD RAN THE CAMP FOR JUST TWO WEEKS THIS YEAR AND DID A GREAT JOB. THE CONN MAN STARTED COLLEGE AND IS DOING WELL. TAYLOR TOOK OFF THIS SEMESTER BUT WILL BE BACK FOR THE SECOND SEMESTER. AS YOU KNOW MORGY TRANSFERED TO HADDON TOWNSHIP FOR 8TH GRADE AND SEEMS TO REALLY LIKE IT. TWO WEEKS AGO SHE PLAYED IN AN AAU TOURNAMENT AT NOVA AND PLAYED FOR A U16 TEAM. TIMMY, SHE DID GREAT. YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN SO PROUD OF HER. HER SKILL LEVEL MAKES UP FOR THE DISPARITY IN STRENGTH AND SIZE AT THIS POINT. SHE SHOWED ME THT SHE WILL BE MORE THAN READY FOR VARSITY. SHE IS GOING TO PLAY FOR THE YOUNGER TEAM ASSOCIATED WITH TRISH. BASKETBALL SEASON IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER. PAUL VI HAS AN OUTSTANDING TEAM AND MATT GOT THEIR BEST PLAYER. CATHOLIC HAS TRISH'S SON KYLE WHO IS THE BEST JUNIOR IN SOUTH JERSEY BUT JIMMY WILL HAVE TO PREFORM HIS MAJIC TO GET ANOTHER 20 WIN SEASON. KEVIN GOT JANEEN REYNOLD'S SON WHO IS 14 AND 6'8" AND A PLAYER. ST. ROSE WILL BE SMALL BUT TALENTED. I HAVE TO STOP HERE BECAUSE HANNA WANTS TO GO OUT. SHE SENDS HER LOVE. MISS YOU MY FRIEND.

The Seventh Annual Timothy P. Lenahan Golf Tournamant is in 2 weeks: Friday, September 30th at Pennsauken Country Club. ALL proceeds go to the Scholarship Fund which presents awards to Grade School and High School graduates in Timmy's name. We could use some more golfers as we have around 70 but generally like to come in around 100 or more so Pennsauken will continue closing down the course. Simply download the brochure to sign up and send it in, or bring it to Pennsauken the day of the tournament. Call Kelly Connelly at 856-261-2303, Carole Fesi at 856-425-8162, or Don Devlin at 609-220-3781 with any questions or to let us know that you are coming so we can have a head count in the next week or so. Heroes in Error (Taylor and Connor's band) will perform again this year. It is always a good time and a great way to honor Timmy's Legacy. The party will move to PJs- Haddonfield after the dinner at Pennsauken. WE HOPE TO SEE YOU!!!!!!

Hey dad, I miss you so much. There is never a day that goes by without me thinking about you. Well I left St. Rose for my eighth grade year. I'm going to Haddon Township where you wanted me to go. Well I just got done summer league a little bit ago. Dorse has been helping me with a lot of things i have trouble with. I have improved my game a lot I wish you could see but I always have people ask if I'm your daughter. I say yes and they say he would be so proud of you and I know you would because you were the best coach and the best dad ever. Dad, I've grown a lot and have actually jumped center in some games. I got the tap against a tall girl from Washington Township. Dorse was surprised. I need to get stronger before nest year because hopefully I will be playing against 17 and 18 year olds. I know that if you were here that I would be more than ready but I know that Dorse will help me. Everyone that I talk to at Haddon Township seems to be happy that I am coming over and that makes me feel better. Dad I love you so much.

She was born on the most special of days.....May 31st.....Kaelie Michelle shares her special day with you and her uncle who is in your company Michael James. Talk about a special blessing.

SORRY I DIDN'T POST YESTERDAY BUT HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY. CONNOR AND TAYLOR HAVE BOTH FINISHED SCHOOL AND CONNOR IS WAITING FOR GRADUATION. I THINK JUDY IS COMING UP FOR IT. MORGAN STILL HAS A COUPLE OF WEEKS LEFT BEFORE SHE GETS OUT. LISA IS GOING TO TRY TO RUN THE CAMP FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS BUT THINGS STILL HAVE TO BE WORKED OUT. KEVIN WON COACH OF THE YEAR HONORS WITH HIS PITMAN TEAM. HE DID KICK CHUCK'S BUTT WHEN THEIR TWO TEAMS PLAYED. BILLY LANGE RESIGN FROM NAVY TO BECOME HEAD OF BASKETBALL OPERATIONS AT NOVA. THE PENN STATE COACH TOOK THE NAVY JOB SO I WONDER IF MATT WILL PUT IN FOR THAT. I WILL BE WORKING HARD WITH MORGY OVER THE SUMMER SO SHE WILL BE ABLE TO WALK INTO HIGH SCHOOL WITH THE SAME TALENT LEVEL SHE WOULD HAVE HAD IF YOU WERE AROUND. SHE HAS BEEN FAIRLY DOMINANT IN HER AAU GAMES AND SHE HAS GROWN. THE DOCTOR MEASURED HER AT 5'4''. I PRAY THAT SHE GETS ANOTHER 4 INCHES. SHE HAS ANOTHER YEAR TO DECIDE ON WHICH HIGH SCHOOL SHE WILL GO TO BUT LISA WILL HELP HER MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE. HANNA PUPPY SENDS HER LOVE. MISS YOU MY FRIEND.

THE BOYS JUST LEFT TO GO TO JIM CRAWFORD SR.'S VIEWING. YOU FINALLY HAVE SOMEONE UP THERE WHO CAN TELL YOU ABOUT WINNING GAMES AND CHAMPIONSHIPS. I REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME I SAW MR. CRAWFORD. HE WAS LIKE A GIANT. I REMEMBER HIM SMILIG AND SAYING HELLO AFTER MY BROTHER HAD WON THE SOUTH JERSEY GRADE SHOOTING CONTEST AS A 6TH GRADER. IT WAS 1952. EVEN LATER WHEN THEY WOULD BEAT US WHEN I WAS AT HOLY SAVIOUR, HE WOULD ALWAYS GO OUT OF HIS WAY TO TELL US THAT WE PLAYED WELL. WHEN I WAS COACHING HIGH SCHOOL AND HE WAS THE REFEREE, I KNEW THAT WE HAD ONE OF THE BEST IN THE AREA. OVER THE YEARS, WHENEVER I SAW HIM, HE ALWAYS HAD A SMILE AND MADE YOU FEEL THAT YOU WERE IMPORTANT. HE WAS A GREAT MAN AND A GREATER PERSON AND I WILL MISS HIM. TO UPDATE YOU ON WHAT IS GOING ON, MORGAN'S SAINT ROSE TEAM FINISHED THE LEAGUE UNDEFEATED. YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN HER IN THE SEMI-FINALS. SHE WAS 9 FOR 12 WITH AN UNBELIEVABLE ASSORTMENT OF SHOTS. SHE HAD 23 IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP AND WAS MVP. HER TRAVEL TEAM ALSO WON THEIR CHAMPIONSHIP. CONNOR IS GETTING READY FOR HIS CLASS TRIP TO FLORIDA. TAYLOR IS GETTING READY FOR THE CONTEST THAT HE GOT HOSED IN LAST YEAR. HANNA PUPPY SENDS HER LOVE. MISS YOU MY FRIEND.

Congrats to the boy's varsity team who won the Tim Lenahan Memorial Championship for the sixth year in a row. Jamie had them well prepared and they dominated Mount Carmel. Next year will be interesting because they will be very small and not have the most dominant player in the league like they have had for the last few years. This group is very skilled and doesn't like loosing. They also don't care who scores, which will make them very difficult to beat. Again, Jamie, great job and the next two years should be a lot of fun.

I know you were smiling down on Morgan this weekend. Saturday she put the team on her back and won our semifinal game. Sunday was a group effort in the finals but she truly dominated and did it with poise, enthusiasm and enjoyment. She finished with 23 points and although that is a huge accomplishment, I think her biggest accomplishment was how nicely she is maturing on and off the court. She really seems happy.

In some ways it feels as though Timmy was here yesterday and in other ways, it feels like another life. I do know very few things have the longevity of this website after six years. Famous people have come and gone but few lives are referred to after this stretch of time. We knew then and still know how special Timmy was. I wonder from the inside basketball community whether what Timmy taught on the court is changing or very much utilized by those few who understood the game on a similar level.

I had a dream that I went up to St. Rose. 5 were on, 5 were waiting, and many more were on the sidelines. Local playground legends ran the games with a middle school and high schoolers. Female players played too. Screen down, screen across, high/low, etc. The ball moved side to side for a jumper or a layup. "Nice use of the backboard," the one in the green celtics jacket said, as he rounded the corner from Kings Highway with a large white cup. Games were to 16, and sometimes 11 on most fall days. On Saturdays, sideline converastions buzzed with exitement about south jersey basketball. Players from Heights, Haddonfield, CC, BE, Audobon, and PVI all mixed together as these high school games were decided on 3rd avenue without referess. Players called their own fouls and picked their own teams and moms and dads were were rarely present. AAU was an obscure anocronym. This kind of Heaven was a playground. I had this dream and then I was awake. How could something so real disappear like a mist of vapor into the night?

SORRY I DIDN'T POST YESTERDAY BUT WHEN I BROUGHT MORGY HOME FROM HER GAME, THERE WASN'T ANY ROOM IN THE DRIVEWAY. SHE PLAYED CHRIST THE KING WHO IS ONE OF THE BETTER TEAMS IN THE LEAGUE. THEY WERE DOWN 22 TO 14 AFTER 3 QUARTERS AND HAD VERY LITTLE CHANCE OF WINNING. THE COACH OF CHRIST THE KING, WHO IS A REALLY NICE GUY AND A GOOD COACH DECIDE TO PUT THE GAME AWAY WITH A FULL COURT PRESS. BIG MISTAKE! IT PUT THE GAME IN MORGAN HANDS AND ALLOWED HER TO CONTROL THE GAME. SAINT ROSE WON THE GAME 30 TO 25. THE BOYS JUST FINISHED PRACTICING BEATLES SONGS FOR A PRIVATE PARTY THEY ARE PLAYING TONIGHT. THEY ARE ALSO IN THE FINALS OF A BIG BAND CONTEST ON SATURDAY AT THE TROC. KEVIN'S PITMAN TEAM CRUSHED CHUCK'S LENAPE CLUB BY 24 ON SATURDAY. BOTH OF THEM ARE DOING VERY WELL IN THEIR COACHING CAREERS. I SAW ART MOSCOLA AT MORGAN'S GAME AND WE BOTH WERE AMASED THAT IT HAS BEEN SIX YEARS SINCE YOU LEFT US. IT IS STILL HARD FOR ME TO TALK ABOUT THAT NIGHT. WE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING SPECIAL LAST NIGHT, JUST WENT ON WITH OUR LIVES, BUT I KNOW LISA AND THE KIDS HAD YOU ON THEIR MINDS ALL DAY LONG.

Tim ,by now you have greeted Vince Cangelosi and the two of you have re-played many St Rose and HS games. Can you please go to the gates to meet Conor O' Kane, a St Rose boy who is joining the Heavenly Falcons at the tender age of 19.He was an ice hockey player, a defense man-I know you will admire his spunk and kind heart. Those of us here below need some looking after- if you can send us some of your spirit and courage it will be appreciated. Miss you so-send your help.

I am sure Timmy would not mind me posting my remembrance of Coach DiPatri on his site. The greatest story I can tell is when we played Camden Catholic at home in a playoff game my sophomore year, Art's last year at PVI, and by my calculation his final win. It was a tight game and I ended up getting a steal by dumb luck late in the game. I panicked and started dribbling up the court and saw Norman Day, CC's center, at the foul line. Then I saw Tommy Pajic flying up the left side toward the hoop. I jump-stopped, up-faked and laid a bounce to Tommy in stride for a white-man (for you youngens, that's slapping the backboard on a layup instead of dunking). The crowd went nuts, Coach Crawford called a timeout and Timmy was front row right near the hoop. He was screaming like a madman and pointing at me. As I back-pedaled on defense I pointed back. After the game, Coach DiPatri abruptly interrupted our celebration and yelled "Kevin Gemmell, if I ever see you pointing to someone in the stands again your butt will be firmly planted on the bench as long as I am coach." We lost two days later to John Crotty and CBA at Lakewood but I am glad I was able to experience Coach DiPatri for those two years. He & Timmy are laughing about now.

HE JUST FINISHED THE FIRST MARKING PERIOD OF 12 TH GRADE AND HE DID VERY WELL. THE BOY'S BAND IS PLAYING OVER AT THE TROC IN THE SEMI FINALS OF A LARGE BATTLE OF THE BANDS. TC IS JUST FINISHING UP HIS FIRST SEMESTER OF HIS 2ND YEAR OF COLLEGE. MORGAN WAS MVP OF THE CAMDEN CATHOLIC TOURNAMENT AND IS PLAYING VERY WELL. SAINT ROSE BOYS ARE 8 AND 2 IN TWO TOURNAMENTS. THEY WERE BEATEN IN THE FINALS OF BOTH THE EUSTACE AND CAMDEN CATHOLIC TOURNAMENTS BY MY OLD TEAM, SAINT MARGARETS. SAINT MARGARETS IS REALLY GOOD. JENEAN REYNOLD'S SON IS A VERY YOUNG 6'5" MONSTER WHO CAN PLAY. SAINT ROSE HAS DENNIS CRAWFORD'S SON BRENDEN WHO IS VERY GOOD.

Timmy's tournament starts at 1 oclock this Friday, October 8th. The rain will be out of the area by Friday. We have a record number of sponsors since the first tournament. We are over $8,000 in sponsors and growing. This means The fund can give out more scholarships this year. We badly need golfers as we are around 80 but really really need 100 or more for Pennsauken to continue closing down the course. Simply download the brochure to sign up and bring it to Pennsauken the day of the tournament. Call Kelly Connelly at 856-261-2303, Carole Fesi at 856-425-8162, or Don at 609-220-3781 with any questions or to let us know you are coming so we can have a head count this week.

Hey Tim, it has been so long since I have written and I am sorry. I still think about you all the time and miss you more and more each day. You know a couple weeks ago I went to watch the boys play at the Philly Diner. It was a perfect night,we were out on the deck. And I was sitting there, the boys were playing, I was sitting with Lisa, Sandy, Aunt Marie, Judy, Kim, Sebastian, Lacy, and on the other side of the room was Jimmy and Kathy, Connor, the twins, Matt and his wife, and on Jimmy's lap was his grandson sound asleep. I was thinking how perfect this night is. The only thing keeping it from being perfect was you not being there. As i thought this I looked up in the sky, and it was the most beautiful sunset and I knew you were there. I knew you were looking down on all of us smiling. It was such a great moment. You and Lisa did such a great job with the kids. They are so great. You should see the 2 older boys with the babies. It is amazing to watch. I was over there the other day and Taylor read Charlie the same story like 10 times. It is funny how much Charlie is like Taylor he is just as relentless as Taylor was. And little Jack just loves Connor. He follows him everywhere. It is unbelievable to watch. Morgan is getting prettier and prettier each day. She is an amazing young lady and she has a great heart. From what I hear from Andrew she is getting to be a bit moody in the mornings, but I am sure we know that puberty is getting ready to set in and Andrew still has not learned that about a woman yet :) Her basketball game is getting better and better and it still breaks my heart that you are not around to coach her. It would have been an amazing sight to see you on the sidelines watching your daughter dominate a game. The last thing I wanted to tell you that was an amazing sight. Yesterday I was at the house doing the treadmill and I came down the stairs and looked outside, and I saw Taylor and Connor playing the guitar to the Charlie, Jack, and the daycare kids. It was such an amazing sight I started to cry. These are all the things that you are missing... Well I miss you Tim.

MORGY BECAME A TEENAGER ON MAY 2. SHE IS TURNING INTO A BEAUTIFUL YOUNG LADY. THIS MEANS THAT WE HAD THREE TEENAGERS IN THE HOUSE UP UNTIL JULY 17TH WHEN TC TURNED 20. CONNOR JUST WALKED IN BECAUSE THEY HAD FORGOTTEN SOMETHING. THE BOYS ARE PLAYING TONIGHT AT THE HARD ROCK CAFE IN PHILLY IN A BATTLE OF THE BANDS. THEY HAD SUBMITTED A RECORDING AND WERE PICKED AS ONE OF THE TOP LOCAL BANDS IN THE DELAWARE VALLEY. YOU SHOULD CHECK IT OUT TONIGHT. I AM SITTING HERE WAITING FOR A CALL FROM MORGY WHO IS PLAYING IN THE FINALS OF THE OCEAN CITY LEAGUE. SHE PLAYED IN THE BROOKLAWN LEAGUE FOR SAINT ROSE AND BROOKLAWN AND SHE DID VERY WELL. MANY OF THE BEST PLAYERS IN THE LEAGUE WERE GOING INTO 7TH GRADE SO THE LEAGUE SHOULD BE GOOD NEXT YEAR. THE CAMPS ARE WINDING DOWN WITH NEXT WEEK BEING THE LAST WEEK. ONE OF THE KIDS AT THE CAMP IS WHO WE GAVE TUFFY TO. THEY BROUGHT HIM TO CAMP AND HE WAS EXCITED TO SEE ME. THAT IS ONE THING ABOUT DOGS THAT I ADMIRE OVER PEOPLE, THEY NEVER FORGET THE PEOPLE WHO HELPED THEM. THIS CAN NOT BE SAID FOR SOME PEOPLE WE KNOW. I WOKE UP THIS MORNING AND THERE WAS A MESSAGE ON MY MACHINE, IT WAS TC SINGING "WHEN I'M 64." I ALMOST FOGOT, THE CON MAN IS MOBILE. HE GOT A JEEP WHICH IS VERY NICE. YOUR ONE TRUE LOVE IS RUNNING IN A 10 MILE RACE ON SATURDAY. GIVE HER A PUSH ABOUT THE 8 MILE MARK. I KNOW THAT I HAVE PROBABLY FORGOTTEN SOMETHING BUT THIS SHOULD BRING YOU UP TO DATE.

Every time I drive by the Saint Rose courts I think about you. If we were playing outside and you drove by everyone got excited. We knew that you care about us as people, not just basketball players. It didn't matter if you were the best player or the worst, you always made us feel that we were an important part of the team. You always found out what we were into off the court and would go out of your way to ask us about it. We knew how much you cared about us and how much you sacrificed in order to coach us. Timmy, the life lessons that you taught us helped us become the men that we are today. I know that most people have no idea how many people you helped. The fact that this website is still up and running, gives testimony to what you accomplished outside of wins and loses. I feel sorry for the kids coming up because they will never experience knowing you. Thank you for helping me and so many others over the years. Go Falcons!

IT HAS BEEN ALMOST THREE MONTHS SINCE I LAST POSTED, SO I THOUGHT I WOULD GET YOU UPDATED. SAINT ROSE'S BOYS WON THE CHAMPIONSHIP FOR THE FIFTH STRAIGHT YEAR. IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME RICH RISSE'S SON MATT SHOT 18 FOR 22 TO BEAT MAYBE THE BEST MOUNT CARMEL TEAM JOE HAS EVER HAD. MATT MAY BE THE BEST PLAYER EVER TO PLAY AT SAINT ROSE. I INVITE PEOPLE LIKE BRIAN MOOREHEAD, BRIAN CONNELLY, THE TWINS, PINE (HOW MANY OF YOU KNOW WHO THAT IS?), BOBBY FIZZ, LEP, DIRT, AND ALL THE REST OF YOU GREAT EX SAINT ROSE PLAYERS, TO STATE YOUR CASE IN A FUTURE POSTING. THE GIRLS JV WON THE CHAMPIONSHIP BUT WHO DIDN'T KNOW THAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN WHEN YOU HAVE MORGY. THE VARSITY LOST TO CHRIST THE KING, WHO HAD A VERY NICE TEAM BUT BY THE TIME MORGY GOT IN THEY WERE DOWN 20 TO 4. CAMDEN CATHOLIC WON THE STATE TITLE BEATING A TEAM THAT WAS PROBABLY 10 POINTS BETTER THEN THEM. I NEVER AM SURPRISED WHEN JIMMY WINS. I DIDN'T POST ON FEB. 2ND NOT BECAUSE I FORGOT BUT I FOUND THAT IT WAS DIFFERENT THIS YEAR. THE HOUSE WAS FULL OF LOVE AND LAUGHTER. WE WERE ALL THINKING OF YOU BUT WE DIDN'T TALK ABOUT IT. CONNOR AND I TALKED A LITTLE BUT IT WAS MOSTLY ABOUT HOW MORGY WAS HOLDING UP. FIVE YEARS IS A LONG TIME BUT THE PAIN IS STILL REAL. BUT I MUST SAY THAT THE LAST YEAR HAS BEEN MUCH BETTER. I SAW JIMMY Q. A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO. I KNOW HOW CLOSE YOU AND HIM WERE. I CAN STILL FEEL HIS PAIN WHEN HE TALKS ABOUT YOU. HE THOUGHT THAT IT IS SO IRONIC THAT YOUR CHILDREN EXCEL IN THE TWO AREAS THAT YOU LOVED, MUSIC AND BASKETBALL. HE WANTED THE KIDS TO KNOW HOW PROUD YOU WOULD BE OF THEM. THIS IS SO TRUE.

Timmy, It's been 5 years and your spirit and presence are with us always. I feel and see it most when I am with your children Taylor, Connor and Morgan. Your mannerisms, personality and warmth are the qualities and traits that have left your mark on your kids. We are all so proud of the wonderful things they all are doing. God blessed them with your presence for a short time, but with your lessons and legacy for a lifetime. I know you are so proud of them. Peace and Love friend until we meet again. Marie

HAPPY NEW YEAR, TIMMY! I THOUGHT THAT I WOULD UPDATE YOU ON WHAT IS GOING ON AROUND HERE. THE LOCAL BASKETBALL SEASON IS UNDER WAY AND IT LOOKS LIKE CAMDEN CATHOLIC, PAUL VI, AND LENAPE ALL HAVE VERY GOOD TEAMS. SAINT ROSE'S BOYS TEAM IS DOING WELL BUT THEY JUST LOST TO MY OLD TEAM SAINT MARGARETS. ST. ROSE HAS RICH RISSE'S SON WHO IS THE BEST PLAYER IN SOUTH JERSEY AND SAINT MARGARETS HAS BOBBY FIZZ's SISTER'S SON TIMMY WHO IS A 6'4'' YOUNG 7TH GRADER WHO PROJECTS TO BE A BIG TIME PLAYER. MORGAN WAS NAMED MVP OF THE SAINT JOHN'S TOURNAMENT AND AS SHE WALKED OUT TO ACCEPT THE AWARD, ALL I COULD THINK OF WAS HOW UNFAIR IT WAS THAT YOU COULD ONLY BE THERE IN SPIRIT. AS SHE AND I WERE DRIVING HOME, SHE SAID TO ME, "I WISH MY DAD WERE HERE." I LOST IT AND SHE SAID ARE YOU ALL RIGHT? THE OTHER NIGHT SHE PLAYED ST. MARGARETS AND THEY WERE DOWN 12 TO 4 WHEN ST. MARGARETS TRIED TO END IT BY GOING MAN TO MAN. THAT WAS A MISTAKE. MORGAN BURIED A COUPLE OF THREES AND ENDED UP SCORING 22 POINTS ON 8 FOR 11 FROM THE FIELD. JUST A PREVIEW OF WHAT SHE IS GOING TO BE LIKE. TAYOR GOT THROUGH THE FIRST SEMESTER OF COLLEGE AND CONNOR IS DOING WELL AT PAUL VI. EVERYONE ENJOYED THE HOLIDAY. HANNA PUPPY SENDS HER LOVE.

HE STILL LIGHTS UP THE ROOM WITH HIS SMILE WHEN HE WALKS IN BUT HE ALSO HAS YOUR TEMPER AND CAN GO OFF AT TIMES. WHENEVER I HEAR ANY ADULT TALK ABOUT HIM, IT IS ALWAYS TO PRAISE WHAT A GREAT PERSON HE IS. EVEN THOUGH YOU ONLY HAD HIM FOR 12 YEARS, YOU INSTILLED THE RIGHT STUFF IN HIM. I TRY TO GIVE HIM AS MUCH GUIDANCE AS I CAN BUT I AM NOT YOU. I TELL THEM THAT YOU ARE ALWAYS WATCHING THEM AND ALWAYS DO WHAT WOULD MAKE YOU PROUD.

Timmy, I just wanted to say you are def still in my heart and in the basketball I play. I decided it was time to get more involved with the intramural program at my school it is def lacking in structure, discipline, and skills. LOL...as I warmed up with the other coach before the kids arrived...I simply looked around and remembered watching you work out the boys and pushing us girls during practices. I remember when you'd get frustrated and take the ball and punt it down the court, I think once it actually went in. Anyway, I heard your voice in my head, everything you instilled in me in order to make me a better player, team member, and person I can only hope to pass along to my 6th-8th graders. Thank you Tim for being everything you were to me. I miss you.

YOU ASK WHY I AM NOT THEIR AND I WILL SIMPLY SAY THAT IT WAS A $100 A POP AND YOU DIDN'T ENEN GET A REAL MEAL. I AM SORRY THAT I HAVE NOT POSTED SINCE TC"S BIRTHDAY BUT I WILL TRY TO CATCH YOU UP. THE CAMPS WENT FAIRLY WELL BUT THERE ARE SO MANY OF THEM THAT IT IS HARD TO ATTRACT THE SAME KIND OF NUMBERS THAT WE ONCE HAD I WOULD LOVE TO SEE MORE SAINT ROSE KIDS COME BUT WHAT YOU WERE ABLE TO INSTILL IN THEM IS JUST NOT THERE ANYMORE WITH SOME EXCEPTIONS. THE KIDS ALL STARTED MILESTONE YEARS IN SCHOOL TC STARTED COLLEGE AND LIKES IT ALMOST AS MUCH AS YOU DID. CONNOR STARTED HIS JUNIOR YEAR AT PAUL VI. MORGAN STARTED JUNIOR HIGH WHICH IS ALWAYS A BIG ADJUSTMENT. TC JUST FOUND A JOB AT A.C. MOORE AND IS PLAYING WITH A COUPLE OF BANDS OTHER THAN HIS OWN. IN FACT I WAS LISTENING TO 104.5 AT 5:00 AND THEY HAD A LIVE BAND PLAYING. THEY INTRODUCED THE MEMBERS AND ON LEAD GUITAR WAS TAYLOR CHRISTIAN LENAHAN. THE BOYS BAND CUT A CD AND ARE SELLING AT VENUES THAT THEY PLAY. ONE OF THE DAYCARE PARENTS CALLED TODAY AND TOLD CONNOR THAT THEY NAMED THEIR NEW BABY AFTER HIM. MORGY IS PLAYING IN THE JKMBA ON AN 8TH GRADE TEAM FROM MONROE. MORGY IS THE MOST SKILLED PLAYER BUT SHE DOES HAVE MOSTLY ATHLETIC GIRLS ON HER TEAM. SHE IS PLAYING THE TWO WHICH IS NOT HER FUTURE POSITION BUT SHE SHOOTS THE BALL BETTER THAN ANY OF THE OTHER GIRLS AND TWO OF THE OTHER GIRLS ARE THICK AND ATHLETIC AND HAVE A LITTLE MORE OF THE PIG MENTALITY THAN MORGY. CONNOR'S BIRTHDAY IS COMING UP SOON SO HE WILL BE DRIVING. SAINT ROSE HAS STARTED AND JAMIE'S TEAM LOOKS VERY GOOD. MORGY IS PRACTICING WITH THE 6TH GRADERS BUT HOPEFULLY BONNIE WILL SEE THAT SHE CAN HELP THE 8TH GRADERS. I WOULD RATHER SEE HER DISTRIBUTE ON THE EIGHT GRADE LEVEL THAN DOMINATE ON THE SIXTH GRADE LEVEL. BUT WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE, SHE SHE HAS THREE YEARS TO PREPARE FOR VARSITY BASKETBALL. YOU SOULD HAVE SEEN HOW HANDSOME THE BOYS LOOKED THIS EVENING AND MORGY IS JUST TURNING INTO SUCH A BEAUTIFUL YOUNG LADY. IT HAS BEEN ALMOST FIVE YEARS NOW AND YOU SHOULD BE SO PROUD OF THEM. THEY MISS YOU SO MUCH. HANNA PUPPY SAYS HI. MISS YOU MY FRIEND.

Timmy, I am so glad that I can "talk" with you on this wonderful page ( Thank you -Kevin Gemmel) Last night I shed some tears while I was standing at a new basketball court that Parks and Rec is having built at Devon Ave. ( TY Mayor Scott) It has been my baby and I had to push for everything that I knew would be best for the kids. Last week when the first post went in I made Bill come up and take a picture of me hugging it.( No one will ever see that photo!) This week the 2 goals for the main court are up with "Ultimate" rims and nets. Yikes , they forgot to put on the decals for the orange box over the hoop. We will also have 2 additional shooting goals- a lot squeezed into a smallish pre existing concrete pad but there is such a need for playing space with Atlantic Ave and 7th Ave. courts shut down.Of course St Rose is always busy and is the heart of hoops i our hometown. So anyway, I am planning a little court celebration and have flyers out and some invites out to all the Haddon Heights basketball people and local coaches I had contact info for. You are on the top of that list in my heart and I just can't accept the fact that you are not here to hang out with and have some fun for this event. JUst wanted you to know that you are with us still. Now, be a pal and send us some nice balmy weather for that night. Someday we may have more places to play the game you loved but the empty spot in our hearts will always be there. But I am always grateful for the goodness that you shone on my boys and countless others.

TIMMY, IT SEAMS SO STRANGE TO WALK OUT OF THE HOUSE WITH THEM NOW THAT THEY ARE MEN. BY THE WAY, THEY ARE BOTH TALLER THAN YOU NOW. THEIR BAND IS DOING WELL, IN FACT THEY HAD TWO GIGS THE OTHER NIGHT, ONE AT THE SUSQUAHANA CENTER AND THE OTHER DOWN THE SHORE AT JESSE CALHOUN'S BAR. TAYLOR HAS ALSO BEEN ASKED TO PLAY WITH SOME OTHER BANDS WHEN HE HAS TIME. HE WILL BE HEADING OFF TO COLLEGE IN SEPTEMBER AND CONN WILL BE GOING BACK TO PAUL VI FOR HIS JUNIOR YEAR. CONN HAS BEEN HELPING US WITH THE YOUNGER KIDS IN CAMP AND HAS DONE AN OUTSTANDING JOB. HE WILL MAKE A VERY GOOD COACH SOME DAY IF HE WANTS TO. I KNOW ONE THING, THEY WILL BOTH BE GREAT FATHERS. AS YOU CAN SEE, MORGY HAS NOT BEEN MENTIONED SO FAR. SHE IS IN FLORIDA AND WILL FLY HOME BY HERSELF TONIGHT. SHE WAS DOWN THERE VISITING SEAN AND JUDY. I THING THIS MAY HAVE BEEN THE LONGEST SHE HAS GONE WITHOUT PLAYING BASKETBALL. WE'LL FIX THAT WHEN SHE GETS HOME. HANNA PUPPY IS BY MY FEET EXPECTING TO BE TAKEN TO WENDY'S BUT SHE MAY HAVE TO WAIT.

Life is pretty tough right about now though, but I know I will be fine because you are with me.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TIMMY! I THOUGHT I WOULD COMBINE TWO POSTINGS INTO ONE. TAYLOR CHRISTIAN GRADUATED ON THURSDAY NIGHT. I KNOW HOW PROUD YOU ARE OF HIM FOR OVERCOMING SO MANY BUMPS IN THE ROAD. HE WILL BE OFF TO COLLEGE IN SEPTEMBER. HIS GOAL IS TO PURSUE A CAREER IN MUSIC BUT HE MUST ALSO HAVE A JOB HE CAN DO JUST IN CASE. JUDY FLEW IN FROM FLORIDA FOR THE CEREMONY. IT WAS GREAT TO SEE HER. NEXT TO THE KIDS, SHE IS THE PERSON THAT REMINDS ME MOST OF YOU. MORGY IS AT WIDNER COLLEGE FOR AN AAU TOURNAMENT AND I THINK LISA DROVE UP TO SEE THE SECOND GAME. MORGY IS LOOKING FORWARD TO ASSORTED CAMPS DURING THE SUMMER. SHE WILL GO TO THE PAUL VI CAMP, THE HADDON TOWNSHIP CAMP, OUR SEVEN OR EIGHT WEEKS OF CAMP, AND MAYBE VIVIAN STRINGER'S CAMP AT RUTGERS. AS FAR AS LEAGUES ARE CONCERNED, I AM NOT SURE YET. I KNOW THAT BONNIE HAS HER PLAYING WITH THE SIXTH GRADE TEAM. CONNOR WILL BE WORKING ALL SUMMER AND PLAYING HIS MUSIC WITH THE BAND. NEXT YEAR WILL BE A BIG YEAR FOR HIM AT SCHOOL. JUDY WANTED TO TAKE A PICTURE AND AS I STOOD NEXT TO THE BOYS I REALIZED THAT THEY WERE JUST ABOUT AS TALL AS I WAS. IN OTHER WORDS THEY BOTH ARE TALLLER THAN YOU WERE. TC IS A LITTLE WORRIED ABOUT NEXT YEAR. HE WOULD LIKE TO STAY AT PAUL VI FOR ANOTHER YEAR BUT TIME MARCHES ON. ONCE HE GETS TO SCHOOL, HE WILL BE FINE. HANNA PUPPY IS ON THE FLOOR AT MY FEET AND TOLD ME TO WISH YOU A HAPPY BIRTHDAY. LISA AND THE KIDS STILL TALK ABOUT YOU EVERYDAY. IT DOES SEEM LIKE IT GETS A LITTLE EASIER EACH YEAR BUT I CAN STILL SEE IN THEIR EYES HOW MUCH THEY MISS YOU. I KNOW THAT YOU WILL ALWAYS BE THERE FOR THEM. MISS YOU MY FRIEND.

It's been a long time, but better late than never. I have tried very hard to accept what has come my way, but have not been successful. Nobody here seems to understand so I thought I would try someone else amd your smilinmg face came to mind. I know you would tell me to accept and go on, but i also know you understand as a parent how it hurts when you see your child constantly hurt themselves and not even know it. So, I'm asking you to put in a word for me so I can stop feelinmg this way. Truthfully. I wish I were out if this worls and somewhere else, wherever that may be.

We had such a fun day the other day (although they were probably ready to kill me) Me, Connor, Taylor, and Andrew all moved my stuff out of the apartment into my new house. It was one of the hottest days in May and we had my Toyota Rav 4 and Taylor's Acura. Needless to say we were all dying from the heat. We went to Applebee's for dinner and had such a nice time.

JUST A QUICK UPDATE. MORGY IS PLAYING WITH THE SIXTH GRADERS FROM COLLINGSWOOD. THE VARSITY COACH FROM COLLINGSWOOD HIGH SCHOOL IS THE COACH AND SHE IS VERY NICE. THEY HAD THEIR FIRST TOURNAMENT DOWN AT ROWAN LAST SATURDAY AND THEY WENT ONE AND ONE. MORGY WAS UPSET BECAUSE THE TEAM THAT THEY LOST TO WERE ALL BLACK AND SHE THOUGHT THAT THE PARENTS OF THE OTHER TEAM WERE LAUGHING AT HER. I TOLD HER THAT THEY WERE NOT USE TO HAVING THEIR LITTLE SAMEKA ABUSED BY A LITTLE WHITE GIRL AND WERE AMAZED AT HER ABILITY TO BLOW BY THEM. SHE WAS EASILY THE BEST PLAYER AMONG THE SIXTH GRADE GIRLS IN THE TOURNAMENT. AS I TOLD YOU BEFORE SHE IS WORKING OUT WITH TOM BETLEY AND HIS 14 YEAR OLD AAU TEAM. TOM WOULD LIKE HER TO PLAY IN THEIR TOURNAMENTS BUT SHE CAN WAIT. THE BOYS ARE AT CRAWFORD'S HOUSE PRACTICING FOR A BIG GIG THAT THEY ARE PLAYING THIS SATURDAY NIGHT. THEY HAVE PLAYED THERE A COUPLE OF TIMES AND MANY OF YOUR FRIENDS HAVE COME TO SEE THEM. APPARENTLY THEY ARE VERY GOOD AND THIS IS WHAT THEY REALLY LOVE. THIS WAS ALWAYS YOUR WISH THAT THEY WOULD FIND SOMETHING THAT THEY LOVE AS MUCH AS YOU AND I LOVED BASKETBALL. LISA IS DOING GREAT. THE CAMPS WILL RUN FOR EIGHT WEEKS STARTING THE END OF JUNE.

YOUR LEGACY CONTINUES IN SO MANY PEOPLES LIVES. SPEAKING OF YOUR LEGACY, MORGY LED HER 6TH GRADE TEAM TO AN UNDEFEATED YEAR. THEY WON THE CHAMPIONSHIP LAST NIGHT AND SHE PLAYED HER NORMAL MVP TYPE OF GAME. ALL THE PARENTS SAID HOW WELL SHE PLAYED. IT IS TOO BAD THAT THEY HAVE NOT SEEN HER IN SOME OF THE OTHER LEAGUES OVER THE YEARS WHEN SHE GETS 25 AND DOMINATES BUT THEY WILL. BOTH THE 8TH GRADE BOYS AND GIRLS ALSO WENT UNDEFEATED IN THEIR LEAGUES AND WON THEIR CHAMPIONSHIPS LAST NIGHT. THE 6TH GRADE BOYS ALSO WON THEIR LEAGUE. AS YOU KNOW, THE CHAMPIONSHI GAME BETWEEN THE EAST AND THE WEST IS NAMED IN YOUR HONOR. JAMIE AND THE BOYS HAVE MANAGED TO WIN IT ALL FOUR YEARS. JOE HAD SOME VERY NICE THINGS TO SAY ABOUT YOU BEFORE THE GAME. BONNIE TOOK MORGY OUT IN THE HALL AND THEY CRIED A LITTLE AS DID I. THE BOYS AND LISA ALL CAME AND CONNOR TOOK PICTURES. AFTER THE GAME, MORGY AND I GOT SOMETHING TO EAT AND RODE AROUND TALKING ABOUT THE GAME AND THE YEAR AND YOU. THE NCAAS ARE ABOUT TO BEGIN AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHO I LIKE. I REALLY MISS NOT HAVING YOU AROUND TO WATCH THE GAME WITH. TC GOT A JOB AND CONNOR IS WORKING EVERYDAY SO BETWEEN SCHOOL, WORK, AND MUSIC THEY DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME TO DO ANYTHING ELSE.

I will never forget where and what I was doing that day when I received a call from my mom telling me what happened. This was not my first experience with the death of a loved one. As Taylor stated I do vividly remember the night my father Michael left us but I can honestly say that 33 years later time definetly heals all wounds as long as you let them heal with proper treatment. Timmy was this great guy who was my best friend, coach and father figure who was always there for me til the day he passed. When I see ttaM ydarB on TV coaching in his bad suit lol (just kidding Matt u look great ) or when B Lange brings the Midshipman to town (congrats on all your success) it reminds me of how truly powerful Timmy's influence was on us all and how dedicated and talented he was to every kid on every team regardless of ability and talent. I cant expalin the sense of loss I feel to anyone who knew of Timmy but didnt know as we did. My thoughts are always with the Lenahan family and I am happy that they have some good people in their lives and they living life. I believe we do not remember days we remember moments and I can definetly say I have had many moments with Timmy to remember.

Timmy, today is still one of the toughest days of my life. Today I found an article by Jay Bilas on ESPN.com about Defining toughness in hoops. (I would suggest all ball-players past and present read it!) There wasn't a thing on this list you didn't teach. You not only taught these things in hoops but how it would transfer over to real life. I'm constantly saying to my kids I coach- "I don't care what it is in life you choose to do, whether it's playing basketball or being a concert pianist, you have to put the maximum effort into it to get the most out of it!" One of your many sayings that still to this day I apply in everything I do. I'm so thankful that I was able to have you in my life, which makes it even harder today. I miss you so much and my heart aches for your family and all of us who you touched in so many ways. I love you!

HAPPY NEW YEAR MY FRIEND. I JUST WANTED TO POST A QUICK UPDATE. LISA MADE SURE THAT THE KIDS HAD A GREAT CHRISTMAS. I AM SURE THAT THEY ARE NOT READY TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL BUT THEY HAD A NICE LONG VACATION. MORGY 5TH AND 6TH GRADE TEAM IS UNDEFEATED. THEY HAVE ONE TWO TOURNAMENTS AND MORG WAS ALL TOURNAMENT EVEN THOUGH SHE DOESN'T START. THEY HAVE A HARD TIME SCORING WHEN SHE IS NOT IN THE GAME. SHE HAS THAT QUALITY OF MAKING EVERYONE ON THE TEAM BETTER. I TOLD HER THE OTHER NIGHT HOW PROUD YOU WOULD BE OF HER AND SHE ALMOST BROKE DOWN. THE KIDS MISS YOU SO MUCH. WELL TC HAS A FLAT TIRE AND I THINK THE CONN MAN IS GOING TO TRY AND CHANGE THE TIRE, SO I BETTER GET OUT THERE AND HELP. HANNY PUPPY SENDS HER LOVE.

I never thought I would live to see 18. As stupid and pre-determined as that sounds, I always saw myself getting hit by a bus or something before I grew up. 18 came as age inevitably does, and I'm fine. There are a lot of little things that I can honestly say would have been easier had my Dad been over my shoulder. Even stupid things like getting my license would have been slightly different with you there. Christmas morning is a significant one. You were more excited to see us open what we got then we were to open it. I miss that. For now, I'll take what I learned from our 14 years of knowing each other and look forward to spending Christmas with you again in 50 years or so. Merry Christmas. Love Taylor.

John, it was good to hear from you and share in your memories of Tim.He did have the wonderful gift of including all of us in his basketball "family". I remember when you were still at OLG and there was talk that you had broken your arm before ST Rose was to play Grace. I recall Timmy telling the team that it may be be a rumor and that even if you did have a broken arm you were so tough that you might still play and score! Those Rose/Grace games were always jammed packed and lots of fun and along with Mt Carmel and Coach Joe were great coaching clinics. Timmy's love of the x's and o's and the fundamentals is a lasting legacy. Many of his players are coaching their own kids now and working on the skills that Timmy taught them. Thanks for reminding us that Tim is beloved and missed by so many. Almost 4 years and it is still hard to pass St Rose and not see his truck or hear his voice come booming out of the gym door.

The chills I remember getting walking into The St. Rose gym and the quick turn of the head to see where Timmy is so I can say hello. Just waiting to hear what he had to say to you because you either were going to learn something new or going to have a good laugh. Maybe even cry ! Along with Bill Morgan from OLG I had great repect for this man. Though I did not attend St Rose Tim made me feel part of the St Rose family since I spent so much time with his past players. To this day I remember playing in a big game for Eustace and hearing Tim's voice saying "Great pass Kosak". Tim's voice was heard then and still being heard.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING MY GOOD FRIEND. HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL WILL START ON FRIDAY AND IT LOOKS LIKE JIMMY WILL HAVE A VERY STRONG TEAM. CHUCKY SHOULD BE OK AT LENAPE AND I AM SURE HE WILL DO A GREAT JOB. THE KIDS GOT THEIR REPORT CARDS AND DID OK. MORGY HAS STARTED HER SAINT ROSE CAREER. SHE DIDN'T START IN THE 6TH GRADE SCRIMMAGE AGAINST HADDONFIELD AND THEY LANDED UP BLOWING IT AT THE END BECAUSE SHE WAS ON THE BENCH AND THE SIXTH GRADERS COULDN'T BREAK THE PRESS. SHE WILL ALSO PLAY FOR HADDON TOWNSHIP'S 6TH GRADE TRAVEL AND 7TH GRADE TRAVEL ALONG WITH THE MOUNT EMPRIM LEAGUE WHERE SHE WILL BE PLAYING AGAINST 8TH GRADE BOYS. CONNOR IS WORKING BUT THE MUSIC PLACE WHERE TAYLOR HAS WORKED FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS HAS BEEN BOUGHT OUT AND THE NEW OWNER IS ONLY HAVING FULL TIME EMPLOYEES WORKING FOR HIM. I AM SURE THAT TC WILL FIND SOMETHING BUT IT MAY NOT BE SOMETHING HE LOVES. WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD. AS YOU KNOW, CONNOR HAS HIS 16TH BIRTHDAY COMING UP ON DEC.2. THE KIDS ESPECIALLY MISS YOU ON THEIR BIRTHDAYS. HANNA PUPPY AND I NORMALLY SHARE WAWA TURKEY ON THANKSGIVING AND SHE IS LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT. TUFFY IS GRATFUL FOR ANY FOOD SO HE IS EASY TO PLEASE. MISS YOU MY FRIEND.

Well, Tim, the College season is starting this week and HS teams will be practicing soon .You are on my mind so much and are missed terribly. I am sure you will be watching over Brian/Albany when they are playing at Villanova on friday and looking over Matt, Billy, Chuck and all your other "boys" who are coaching. Good luck to Connor and Morgan this season.
