Tim was the best friend I ever had in my entire life. We met more than 60 years ago when he transferred from the Daily Mirror in Manchester to the Daily Record in Glasgow and we bonded instantly. That led to outrageous antics in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Inveraray, Dunoon, London, Paris, Brussels, Munich (Oktoberfest), East and West Berlin, and Bielefeld, Westphalia. Picture two six-footers and two large suitcases crammed into a Mini Cooper S driving a thousand miles around Europe, and sleeping in the car too, many a night. Tim's escapades made The Ginger Man look like a choirboy. He was an excellent reporter and could turn a non-news item into a humorous feature story at the drop of a Guinness. I know Tim be continuing his hilarious antics in Heaven and I look forward to our reunion there before too long.

Tim´s sounds like a life well lived. I had the pleasure of his company on long rides with the Toronto Randonneurs about 3 decades ago. The best people (and the best times) I have ever known were ones I met on the bike. Rest In Peace Tim.

As a long time friend of Patsy´s, I mostly knew Tim in passing. However short our conversations, I always left laughing as I went to find Patsy! He liked my cooking, so instead of raising a glass to Tim, I will raise a plate of shrimp and lobster casserole followed with a chaser of Derby Pie.
My sincerest condolences to Patsy,
their daughters, and granddaughter, Ramona, and other family and friends.

I roomed with Tim for several transits of the Blue Ridge Parkway and spent the whole trip laughing.

I met Tim's lovely wife Patsy today on the subway and she gave me some great advice that made my day. I hope that she sees this and knows the effect that she and Tim through her had on my life even if it was for the briefest of moments.

Brother Gathercole .. what a shock, and ignition of so many fond past memories .. you were a true delight to be around for your laughter, comradery, direct opinions, and true friendship .. The Zete House often rocked because of your presence .. Tony Allen and I will always cherish a car ride up to Inveraray Scotland, on our tour of Europe in 1964 .. Your steadfast commitments to family, sports, work, and friends ,was commendable, even if you were too stubborn at times .. so many people will be saddened today but we all will be grateful for having shared your lifetime. R.I.P. Tim.
