Last night I attended the funeral of Mr. Tim Dubberly.  A long time employee at Nassau Terminals in Fernandina Beach & Kinder Morgan who tragically died in a crane accident while performing routine repairs on said crane.

Tim had no LinkedIn account that I know of, and wore a really cool customized hard hat to work everyday.  Read no spreadsheets & did not work with email.  What he did do was keep cranes, top loaders, mules, forklifts, trucks and reefers working on a daily basis. Whether he knew how to or not, he made it happen. You'd be surprised how far general mechanic skills go.  

What I remember most about Tim was how straight forward and no non-sense he was, all the while being kind and always very helpful.  He would always offer his services whenever possible.  Whether it was work related or in helping a friend tweak their Harleys, of which he owned 2 by the way.

Tim had many friends evident by the large showing at his funeral last night.  He will be missed by those who knew him, his family, but also by those companies and families he served daily by simply doing his job and doing it well.
