Condolences to family.

Tim and I met in high school. Our lives intertwined throughout the next 60 years. Though we shared many interests, music and playing music was at the center. I am happy to have been a close friend.

Tim and I shared so many rich conversations about our work as psychologists, life in places like El Dorado County and Indonesia. Tim shared such joy in showing his latest artistic creations. My life was enriched by knowing him as a friend. Our world is reduced by his passing.
