Weeks have passed. His remembrances and celebrations were amazing. And the quiet sets in. What´s left is how much I miss my friend. Every single day, Timbo.

A sparkle has gone dark.
The laughter silenced.
An abrupt and unfathomable end to a vibrant and joy-filled adventure.
The curtain has dropped before his final punchline.
Unpretentious and endearing with an instinctual wit, a cheerful charm, boundless curiosity and a youthful exuberance, Timmy certainly lived a full, meaningful, interesting and happy life.
Those of us lucky enough to have crossed his path cherished his indisputable integrity, compassion, courage, generosity, warmth and tender-heartedness.
Goodbye my friend. I hope you know how much we loved you.

Dear Roseane and Elizabeth,
I am so sorry to hear of Timmy´s passing, he was a sweet and loving person. So many fond memories growing up together and I feel even luckier to have reconnected with him in California. My heart goes out to you and your family, you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

I am shocked by Timmy´s
Passing I just met him the first time
When I found out about my best friend
Ed Welch he was his next door neighbor
He helped me a lot moving items
He was kind to my friend and looked
Out after him.
My deepest sympathy
