Tim was always an inspiration to everyone he worked with. He set a wonderful example to follow with his generosity and commitment to help others. He was a great friend and is already deeply missed.
To each of his wonderful children: your dad ALWAYS spoke of each of you with great love and pride. Every time we met for lunch, he would light up and tell fun stories of your family adventures and accomplishments at school! There was no doubt of his joy in his family.
We are so sorry for your loss.

Guy and I were deeply shocked and saddened to hear the news of Tim's passing. We were so privileged to work with Tim both at Adaytum and Ascadia. His devotion and passion for his family, his zest for life, his extraordinary talent and gift for invention in its myriad forms inspired and touched our lives and those of many others. We send our love and condolences to you and the children. Fondly, Guy and Sue Haddleton. New Zealand
