Rest In Peace Hattertim

I first ran into him at his Yahoo groups.
That led me here.

Didn't type much, but always a very good man to me.

We lost him way too young.
So sad.

Sincere condolences to his family and friends.

Mega thanks again Tim, for all you did, for all of us.

Rest In Peace


P.S. One last quote for you Tim
Thanks to b1gt1t

Rest in peace Monsieur Tim.
Deepest condolences to his family.
As Freddie sung: show must go on. Different when I look sadly the in remembrance thread, but we have to...
All from heaven must laugh with our "poor" jokes on this forum now.

No more problems, my brother. Rest easy.

Dec's words are the same for me. So sad to lose yet another VEF member and Mod team member.

Rest In Peace Tim.

I am also at a loss for words.

I had a few brief PMs with Tim and he was always helpful and a kind soul in every way.

I will always fondly remember how he started out his posts..."The next set is from (insert source).."

When his status went from SuperMod to Veteran Member I hoped that everything was okay with him.

It saddens me to know that he is gone.

He will be missed greatly!

Thank you Tim for all of your help and my thoughts go out to his friends and family!

I feel tremendously sad to hear about Tim´s passing away under these circumstances, being so young.

We haven´t had too much of contact, but I will always remember his kind and helpful character, as well as his sound input when we were colleagues in the Mod-Section.

My thoughts go to his family and friends who must suffer terribly and need to cope with that unbearable situation. May the Lord give them strength and love.

Thanks for everything you have done, Tim - in your life and here in our community.

Rest in eternal peace.

R.I.P. Tim.

I did have some brief Mod exchanges with him a few years back and he was always polite and knowledgeable.

It's always a sad day when we lose an esteemed member of V.E.F. and at such an early age compounds the sadness.

Yes, honest...that's it in a nutshell.

Tim had no capacity for guile or dissembling - what you saw was what you got. I cannot recall ever seeing him get angry. If there was a setback he would set his face to a look of "Hmmm!?" - he'd then think it through coolly, regroup and find a way that we lesser mortals could get to grips with.

I can almost imagine him facing down Darth Vader with a wagging finger and calmly suggesting a better way of doing things - and he would be diligent and meticulous in putting it into practice.

Of course that left him often underappreciated and slightly vulnerable - he was someone who walked the walk but never talked the talk. As I said, he was a difficult chap to know at first, but as soon as you understood him you found yourself being fiercely supportive of him.

And generous?...the word hardly does him justice.
