The news of Timmy's passing came as a huge shock yesterday. It feels like just yesterday that I was standing on stage with him at the Apollo in September talking about our kids, showing each other pictures on our cell phones. His youngest and my only are about the same age, and he was telling me funny stories about how she had been escaping her crib, as my daughter had been doing the same. I can't remember the exact details of the story, but it was something like this: Tim and his wife kept finding her in her crib with tons of books that hadn't been in there and they kept thinking the older girls were putting them in the crib, until they realized she was climbing out, filling her crib with books and then climbing back in. He was clearly so proud of his girls and found so much humor in their antics... he obviously loved his family very much. As a parent, and thinking back on Tim laughing (that laugh!) about their antics and parenthood in general, it breaks my heart to think of them losing their father this early in life.
Tim rigged lots of scenery of mine over the years, and I can't think of a single time he wasn't laughing and good humored about any load-in, no matter how good or how grim the show. He was a true professional, always delivering a great work environment for all those around him. Timmy will be sorely missed by all of us in this business who had the good fortune to work with him, but I feel certain he will be even more sorely missed as a husband, a father and a friend to those who knew him outside of work. What a terrible loss.
