After marrying Gary Pantry, I was the latecomer to the Mizzentop family. Tim & Sally were the consummate entertainers - and two-person welcome committee. We were sad when Sally left us much too early - and now we must say God Speed to Tim. He was truly a gentle man! Kind, loving, considerate - and always, full of fun! Holding the family in loving thought and prayer.

To Tims family, saddened by his passing, my Hubby Ian was one of his Tennis partners, & always enjoyed his Saturday morning trip to Mizzentop. However, the greatest treasure we have from Sally & Tim is CALYPSO- our 14+ years Shih Tzu whom we homed at 9 monthes. Still as active as ever! Our thoughts & prayers are with you at this sad time.

We were so sorry to read of Tim's passing and our thoughts and prayers go out to all of his family. Tim was a true gentleman and we feel very fortunate to have had such wonderful social times with both he and Sally over the years in Bermuda.

To know Tim was to love Tim. From the moment Jim met him, when his family had the good fortune to build in "the neighborhood" with Sally and Tim in 1981, he was drawn to his fun, natural, human kindness. Parents Elia and Jim counted them as some of their great friends, making each and every Bermuda trek with siblings, children, and American pals so much more enjoyable. When Lin and the girls came along in the 90s, who was there to greet them and welcome them to Club Mizzentop but Sally and Tim. And after Sally left us (all too soon), we enjoyed our annual catch up summertime dinner with Tim as the girls entertained him and they relished his attention. Mizzentop and Bermuda aren't the same without Tim there, and now the same holds true in parts near and far. We've lost a great gentleman at a time when they are nearing extinction. We -- Lin, Caroline, Charlotte, Nora, and Jim -- send our love to all the Blaiklocks and grieve this loss with you. Rest In Peace, Tim!

A wonderful man who was the patriarch of a loving family. Joined the Royal Candian Navy in 1943 aged 18 and served on motor torpedo boats based near Dover. Took up tennis later in life and was renowned for his kindness to all. Much loved at Mizzentop.

On behalf of Elia and the Buck family, let me express my sincere sympathy over the loss of your dear father/grandfather. He and Sally were the cornerstone of our Mizzentop experience and their kindness and friendship extended to cocktails, dinner, beach visits, and even to once finding me an emergency dentist. We will miss him and remember him with love. Cackie Rogers
