Not sure what to say?

What wonderful memories I have of growing up across the alley from Tim and the Adamson family. Tim was a couple years older than me, but we were teammates on a Cosmo baseball team that won the city championship in 1964. He was one of the stars and someone I looked up to. I know he will be missed.

I met Tim about 1965. He was playing drums in some band on Kansas Avenue in front of Jenkins Music. Since I played drums, too, we had an immediate connection, but nothing you could call normal. We probably said 10 words to each other in the next 2 years, but even so we were fast friends. Tim was an amazing drummer. I would stand there and watch him play off into a riff that didn't seem to have anything at all to do with what had come before. And I would think to myself, "How is he ever going...

Bob & Debbie and family-

We are so sorry for the loss of your brother Tim. Please know you are all
in our thoughts and prayers.

God's blessings,

I didn't know Tim as well as some of my other acquaintances did, but he and I played music together a few times. I always enjoyed his company and the way he played those drums.

I knew Tim for forty years. I had laughed with him (endlessly), but cried with him, too. He was one in a million.....not without his warts, as most who knew him, knew....but he was quite a guy, nonetheless. He would do anything for you. He always laughed at my jokes. He was my friend, in the truest sense of the word. I will miss him.

A warm, heartfelt THANK YOU to all for your kind thoughts about my brother, Tim. I, too, KNOW he is now in a better place. The memories of childhood will forever be in my soul. Sister - Debby Adamson-Coniglio

My best memories of Uncle Tim were when I was very young - and then in my late to mid-twenties. He was always a non-comformist, and I really appreciated that about him. He never waivered, always spoke his mind, and lived his life the way he wanted to. Loved Uncle Tim quite a bit.
