Timothy Alan Eysselinck

We will remember Tim as the knight in shining armour who swept our friend Birgitt off her feet and filled her heart with love, as the handsome man, who stood tall and proud beside his newly wedded wife in their african fairytale wedding at the turn of the millenium in the mountains of Namibia, as the proud husband and father who loved and adored his family, and as the man who devoted a great part of his life to saving lives by making the earth we stand on a safer place through his efforts in...

What a loss!!

Tim was not only a humorous and intelligent friend, but also a responsible and loving head of family. He loved his jobsand carried out assignments with great diligence even if it meant working with landmines in African Jungles or in a very hostile environment-Iraq.
I don’t know what to say when such an appalling incident occurs. It is a loss to his family, friends and country. Many gaps remain open in his absence. If this is the only time allotted to have...

My daughter, Jade-Louise (14),described Tim's entering our lives much better than I can in a poem,The Stranger, the night of his death.
In six years Tim became family, part of our daily lives, even with him, Birgitt, Thyra and Neal outside Namibia, the land he loved as much as we did.
We recall so much: hitting his head against the candle holder at the table the night they met, the happiness when the proposal in the desert met a yes! the pride of the "workhorse" his Iraqui...

I miss my friend, and feel a hollowness in the thought that we won't be able to share any future tales of adventure. Nonetheless, I have many fond memories of the time we spent together: from our first acquaintance at Leon High School, to rooming together at UF, to holiday visits in Tallahassee, even to meeting for dinner in Germany. Tim always maintained loyalty to his close friends, despite the miles of separation. I hope we can sustain Tim's sense of adventure, his wit, his appreciation...

Dear Janet and family,

I send my deepest condolences to you in regards to Tim's passing. I have many fond memories of Tim when he, Alex, Rachel, myself and my brother were young crazy kids. Of course, Tim was older and seemed almost an adult to me. He always seemed confident, friendly and very intelligent. I wish I had known him better.
Tim will always be with you and all those who have crossed paths with him. I send you warmth, love and strength during this time.

So many a time, Tim tipped his hat and scoffed at death. So many a time he raised his hat to life.

It is with a sadend heart that I write this entry..Tim was a good friend and Boss..we at IMCO/RONCO project Iraq have lost a member of our project family and he will be missed by all. Go will God

I am truly shocked and saddened by the loss of Tim. He was a wonderful person, who seemed to live his life on his own special terms. I met Tim at Leon High School, and saw him over the years here in Tallahassee. He played poker at my house off and on for a number of years, and seemed to always have a "new" game that he would invent. The last time I saw him was of course, his visit for McBride's wedding. He still could tell a great story and make you laugh. I will really miss Tim. My thoughts...

I will keep Tim and his family in my thoughts and prayers.
