I've been stuck taking tough small looks at my Blackberry since last Friday, hoping since the weekend to catch an update on what happened to our friend. I'm with the family on vacation in the Palm Desert area and there's very little WiFi where we're staying (won't stay here again!). Got a short text message from SockMonkey on Saturday a.m. with the bad news.
I did not know Tim as many here do, only thru a few PMs here and there, as well as a couple conversations at the last couple of WFOs and NAFO. Terrific guy. My condolences to those in his family and those here that are hurting.
I have to stop leaving town. Whenever I do, it is with great reluctance that I sign on to the forum after being gone for a few days. Seems as though every time I'm in that situation, someone goes down and gets hurt. I never expected this, though. I'm not one for big warm and fuzzies, but seriously, make the time with your family and friends count, people.
