Not sure what to say?

Barb, I am so sorry for your loss. Tim was a wonderful man. You had so many adventures together. Let those memories Cary you through. God Bless you my friend.

Barb, Tim will always have a warm spot in my heart holding good memories. I shall never forget the gift of friendship Tim gave to me uncontitionally. I am saddened to know he is no longer physically here to continue walking through life with you. I was blessed to have know Tim. I hope Tim wrote his many thoughts, adventures and stories down, and some day you will publish them for all to read that others may reflex on Tim's thoughts, adventures and imagination. Many people never had the...

Tim, I was just made aware of your passing; a great loss for so many. I consider our time together at the University of Alaska priceless and the experiences we had which have become Tall Tales priceless. You had the finest mind I have ever encountered in my life. I wonder what you and Clay are discussing now? Yes, you live on in so many hearts and minds. God Bless and Keep You close.

I am so sorry for your loss. As I sit here, I think of the reunion of Tim and Clay, I can almost hear the debate, the booming laughter and plans set in motion. May God's grace comfort you all.

Miss you

I knew Tim while I lived in Nome. He was a really good person in every sense of the word. He set an outstanding example of leadership that we can all learn from. One of the aspects of his life that I particularly appreciated is that he was totally committed to social justice. I am not a lawyer, but if I were I would have liked him as my mentor.

I knew Tim back in the '70s through UAFD. I've always thought the story of he and Clay Lundy overturning their canoe and walking out of the wilderness one of the best. Great guy, great laugh, great loss.

While I haven's seen him since our time at the University of Alaska Fire Department, I have many fond memories of him and his adventures. Did he ever mention bartending at the Foc'sle Bar in Ketchikan when well under the legal age to even have a beer. It was a rough tough place full of fishermen and loggers which spoke to his strength of character and personal confidence even a young age. It was a great privilege to know him all those years ago. Take joy in your memories and he will live...

I am so very sad about Tim's passing. Tim was a really great guy and a great friend. He will be missed by all who knew him.
