I did not know Tim as well as some, but our lives intermingled professionally for many years. I knew him as a fearless climber, a consummately professional rigger, and a fair and intelligent boss. His sense of humour and his deep concern for those he worked with always brought a smile to my face the moment I knew I would be working with him. I was always relieved to see his face on a jobsite as I knew that "things would be taken care of". His welcoming smile and handshake was always a great way to start a day. It was always a pleasure to follow where he led and I'm sure that I, and many others, would have followed him " to hell and back ", as they say. I remember the gleam in his eyes and the beam in his face whenever I asked after " the family", a love so strong it could not and never was concealed. To say that he will be missed is an understatement of enormous proportion, to say that he will be remembered is a solemn promise. I will remember him when I come in with a smile at work. I always told him" It'll keep them guessing ....". Love you Timmy. Razor
The stories I am reading about my husband are bringing me to tears, he was so loved as a person and as a fair, hardworking, and honest boss. My daughters and I feel the pain of his loss everyday hour of the day, I know through time that hopefully this pain won't be as intense. I tell my girls how much their "Daddy" loved them everyday.
ReplyDeleteTim and I in every sense of the word were partners. We shared all our thoughts on a personal level and talked about every job he was going to do or spoke many times on the job about how things were going and "what can make it happen better".
I will not let everything Tim worked for die as well, he loved what he created and the crew that made TKP. I may not be Tim but I will be there for his crew and clients just as he was. We were born 4 days apart and always joked that we were practically twins.
He always said to me, "you are the strongest person I know". My love for him and his children keep me going everyday. Please know I may not be Tim but, his spirit lives inside me. We could just look at each other and know what the other one was thinking.
I give my solemn promise that, just as Tim did, to do the upmost job for his clients and his crew. I know I can never fill his shoes but I will do my best. TKP will continue, it is the only thing I have and soon getting to know everyone will just make me feel closer to him. I knew all the names but, soon I will know your faces. I look forward to meeting all of you and hearing more stories.
Thank you for all the love and support you are showing to me and his "girls", it took me a while to read this, but I'm glad I did.
Much Love
Jill
I love you my sweetheart and miss you so much.
