Not sure what to say?

Although I haven´t seen him since I was a child I certainly remembered that smile. I watched him from afar and I went through his book of ponds and his life in Vermont. He lived the type of life that I have been so fond of. I was happy to be able to share his books with other people that were forging their way through nature. And as I look back on all the ancestors that put Tim in that place in that moment of time, I say, "Well done,Tim!" "Well done!" Be well and peace.

I thought of Timothy in the last few months and was planning to visit him with my daughter Dakotah. I was looking forward to visiting him and catching up on life talk. It would have been good to see him and listen to his stories and reminisce for a while. I would have liked to have my daughter meet him as the free spirit he was.
He will be missed. All my condolences to his family. Mark and Dakotah Matson

Always enjoyed a trip up to Tim`s place to till his garden or attempt to tame his "lawn-jungle".Also was honored to be featured in his wonderful book,"Round Trip to Deadsville".Any conversation with Tim resulted in a profound enrichment of Spirit.

I loved my long talks with Tim in the days of our kids when they were little. He was always so inspiring, intelligent, interesting and funny. I will miss his essence, even though I haven´t seen in him many years. Fly free Tim
