Tim Cronin

My heart breaks to share that Tim passed away this morning. Until his very last moments he remained the most kind, generous and hilarious person I have ever met. The amount of lives that he touched and changed for the better number in the thousands. He was known as the Center of the Universe, and right now we've all lost our center.
For me, he was my beloved stepdad, who unconditionally cared for and supported me as his own and raised me on the coolest possible artists and artifacts; and the most loving and devoted husband to my mom Carrie that anyone could ever dream of - when you think of soulmates, you think of Tim and Carrie. Their love anchored not only our little family but a whole community.
Grief is the price we pay for love and, man, was our big guy loved. It is an incomprehensible void that he is leaving in our lives, but I know this much - he wants us to go forth. To make art, to play music, to be endlessly generous and show up for the people in our life. To tell each other about a rare B-side or a cool old book or a so-bad-it's-good movie. To go to a diner and make our friends laugh until their sides hurt.
Tim, you left this world an undeniably better, cooler place by being in it. I hope your next cosmic adventure is just as epic. I love you. Let's Go Mets
