Memories

Quoting Dean Wormer from Animal House, Tim would say to me as we crossed the threshold into the pub, 'Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son....' Thank you, Tim, for that life-affirming advice. They are the kind of wise words that stay with you. Obviously, mine to you, 'Get a CPAP machine,' didn't linger. Maybe you'll be able to listen to me next time. When we gathered after the service I could not help but think how much you would have enjoyed it. As I looked around the room at your friends and family sharing laughter and tears, I was reminded of the quote from Hunter S Thompson. He must have had you in mind when he wrote it, “Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!”

― Hunter S. Thompson, The Proud Highway: Saga of a Desperate Southern Gentleman, 1955-1967

Thanks Tim for enriching so many peoples lives

“I enjoyed getting to know Tim in the short time we knew each other and only wih there was more time. An old school gentlemen, with a great sense of humour. A real pleasure to have known. Cheers to you Tim.”

Work Colleague at Thames Water

“Everyone at work used to joke that we lived together, going on our daily lunch walks around the lake. We talked endlessly about this and that with him often giving life advice. He used to bring me a croissant every day and in return I would fix all his IT issues and listen to all his jokes. Honestly I am not quite sure how work will be without him but I am really glad I got to meet him”. Oscar who started work at Thames Water at the same time as Tim
