There are many here in this forum that have never seen each other face to face. Merely questions, answers, opinions, and insight shared daily by professionals, intermediates, and amateurs alike. It is easy to forget there are real people on the other end of these digital communications. People that can shape our own lives for better.... or worse if we are not careful.

Tim's passing shows how much one individual can positively impact so many others. I've been searching back through the AE-List archives the past few days looking at some of Tim's history and he was truly a contributor to our community. I didn't have the privilege to meet Tim face to face, but quickly realized how many interactions I have had with him on this forum over the years, even very recently. Most were scripting related. One that stood out to me was a comment he made about myself, Mathias Möhl, and Lloyd Alvarez (attached screen cap).

My heart goes out to Tim's family and friends. May they find piece in knowing that he was a great human being, and such a helpful part of so many lives with his contributions, and gratefulness.

Some words from Tim's wife, Christine.

It's hard to put into words how much I love Tim. We met at my first job after college and it wasn't long before we were inseparable. Our first date was at Cannon Beach, Tim's favorite Oregon Coast destination. It sealed the deal. ❤️

This past June, we celebrated 30 years of marriage, which included three homes, five cats, four dogs, multiple jobs and vehicles, lots of vacations... and two amazing children.

On Wednesday, January 16th, after his routine morning run, Tim suffered a heart attack and passed away at home. Although this past day and a half has been overwhelming and surreal, it has also been filled with many caring notes, emails, calls and visits from people who loved and adored Tim. We are thankful for your presence in our lives during this difficult time.

Please leave your stories of Tim here on his page. Your words are comforting to us and we love reading them. Please continue to keep us in your prayers and please check in on us in the weeks and months to come.

Timmy T... my love. You filled my life with so much joy, humor and love. Keep up that running streak in heaven. I want to hear all about it someday. I miss you. I love you.

As I find time this week, I can post any stories you guys share on the board and put it on facebook if you wish.
