Thank you to all who offered hugs and tears when we visited Merlins last Saturday. My family looks forward to seeing you on Monday.
Tim was a great person and I’m glad I called him friend. I knew him for about 13 years. Most of my memories of him are out at the Ren Fest, where I’d sneak up on him and scare him. Though last year he got me before i could get him. He always could put a smile on my long grim face. When I finally got my nine tails. He said “Dam Chuck, you got a last night.” It always makes me laugh. he saw me Saturday and I didn’t have my tails then when he saw me on sunday i had my 9 tails. I’ll have these great memories of him to treaure and I’m willing to share them with all of you.
Tim was a great person and one of the few I’d consider my equal. I will miss him very much.
