I am saddend by the passing of this fine man who I knew as a member of the Graflex family. I spent 16 years with Graflex and on Aug 2001 spent a week visiting Tim and his wife. All we talked about was Graflex. We would talk on the phone occasioally and exchange Christmas cards. His contribution to the Photgraphic industry and Graflex was incredible. With the help of others we will try to keep his memory and Graflex history alive throught the Graflex Historic Quarterly and maybe I can finish my book on Graflex as well. We will miss him dearly.

I first met Tim at Photo History XII, when I needed to interview him. 5 minutes into the interview, I felt like I was talking to a friend. I just wish I could have known him longer. He was and will always be a hero to me. I would be honored if I could attend his memorial service.

It was a privalige to have met him at Photo History XI. To many of us in photography he was "Mr. Graflex".
His passing is a great loss to the world of Photograohy.

Tim was an active member of TPHS for many years and contributed much to the success of the group. What's more, he was a great friend to many and a true gentleman. We'll miss Tim, and are grateful for the time we had with him.
