Timothy Leo Freed

Dearest Tim,
You were one of the finest men, DJ and KJ's ever. You touched so very many people’s lives in so very many wonderful ways. I hope you saw the memorial karaoke session at the Shack. So many of the people learned to enjoy karaoke, sang for the first time or improved their singing skills under you gentle guidance.
You will be so sadly missed and never replaced. But, I know God has many more roles for you to fill in heaven. You are probably running the Heavens Gates radio...

Miles, Doug and I had enjoyed your Karaoke many nights at the Shack. We sang with you the Saturday before your passing. It was another great night. Who was to know it would be our last? Even today, a couple of months later, Doug heard "Remember When?" and thought of you and your great version of it. We miss you very much and look forward to celebrating your memory yearly at the Shack. Few people know about this guest book but we have your Photo and write-up in the front of our Karaoke book...

Dad, You were always my hero growing up. You were larger than life and the sparkle, joy and love in your eyes you gave me each time we were together I'll cherish for the rest of my life. Some of my fondest memories are going to the KGW studio with you. I remember sitting at the news desk and read the news, watching myself on the monitor. You were always loving and proud that I was your "little girl."

I wrote two poems for you. Here is one of them.

A Song of Goodbye

Tim, I will never forget the smile in your voice when you'd call me 'Sis'. I normally wouldn't be happy that my TV sound system went out but because it did I saw you one last time just a few short months ago. I have loved being a part of your family, you always made me feel so welcome and appreciated. I loved arguing with you that my apple pie WAS NOT store bought. I will always cherish the memories from the Paragon Club. Listening to you sing we'd laugh, drink and dance till the wee...

I met Tim at one of his karaoke shows,and immediately fell in love with him.He was singing one of my favorite songs.Tim and I dated for years and he trained me to be a karaoke DJ.I worked with him for a number of years then he built me a DJ set up.Tim also repaired equipment he once told me he could fix anyhing with a plug.WOW!
In recent years Tim opened up his home to my daughter and myself.
He loved going to the beach and yard sales.Tim also had a Shitzu named
' Normie Boy '...

Thank you for being my friend and making life a whole lot more enjoyable. I'll never forget you.

Tim: Had a great time singing with you. Was looking forward to singing with you in January when I get back from Texas.
You will be missed.

I knew you Timothy when I use to go to school at Durham with your sister Gretchen. Although I never really knew you as we grew up it sounds like you really were loved and respected. You just left too soon. Pat MiznerTimm Moore
