Not sure what to say?

So very sad to have just read of Timothy's passing. He was our jeweler for the past 22 years! Our beautiful "Camels Hump" wedding bands, and a family birthstone garland ring are worn daily with great pride. We own a number of other Timothy originals and have always thought of him as an amazing artist. We love to show off our unique pieces which we designed with his guidance, and vast knowledge. What a wonderful man with an extraordinary life. He will be sorely missed.

I'm sad to learn of the passing of Mr. Grannis. I remember him as being a jokester during his daughters' sleepover parties in home/business off of Rt 15. He always greeted me with a genuine, sly smile. May the memories of him help family and friends through this time.

I met Tim in 1970 through his brother Steve. He introduced me to the arts of breadbaking and meditation which I practice to this day. Holding all of his loved ones in my heart. Fond memories of Caroline and Peter..Sending a special hug to Steve.Meg Gross Howard

I met Timothy at the DC Mall when he was selling jewelry with Susie. That was the one time meeting him. I have know Susie for as long as always and I remember thinking of them together. No one on this planet could have sculpted a more perfect person for her. And she was ideal for him. I am really sorry he had to go.

One thing that made my brother unique, is that, he was predictably unpredictable. He could be a bit stubborn at times but he always had a sense of humor.
There is only one like this guy and I think the mold has been broken. Too bad because this man was a very caring , gentle and a creative genius. Those who knew him are better people because of this relationship. Especially his daughters.
He is very missed.

I worked for a short time at Grannis Gallery, and was fortunate to have experienced the magic that was Timothy. He and Suzie were wonderful employers who treated us all like family. The most loving, caring, talented, original, creative, courageous, and inspiring couple. I'll never forget Timothy suggesting I sing Happy Birthday to Suzie as part of the job interview. My sincere condolences to Suzie and family. He was a beautiful soul.

Dear Timothy
You were so kind to me while living on this planet . May you be nurtured wherever you may be - Marne
