Dear friends and colleagues:
For those of you who haven't heard this sad news, Tim Keogh passed away yesterday. I do not represent the family nor Top Knotch, but over the last 13 years I have had the pleasure of knowing him, and by working for him, I met my wife, and nearly all of you. I have also collected a handful of email addresses over the years, and I simply wanted to get the word out so that as many of us as possible could come together sometime in the next few days and mourn his loss, once arrangements have been made. Please pass on this news to others who may not have heard, as there is no way I could possibly reach even a small portion of the people he touched.
Sadly,
Jim McNeal

Tim always came through even if you had a last minute gig. He will definitely be missed! Condolances to all his family and friends.

We will all miss Tim immensely. He was a great man who always made everyone feel good that was around him, whether at work or just hanging out. My deepest sympathy to his family and friends. He touched many of us with his loving and sincere personality and his willingness to tackle the impossible and make it look easy. Such a shame for the world to lose a person like Tim.

This earth is indeed a smaller place without Tim. He inspired myself and I'm sure many of you to be greater than we already were. I am almost speechless and offer my deepest condolences to the family. Tim, you will be missed by every person whose life you touched. Sleep in heavenly peace, my friend.

When I first met Timmy I was struck by his positive attitude and ever-smiling face. I chalked it up to his youth but through the years of working with him in a variety of venues and stressful situations the smile never faltered. After several years of being away from Terzi I bumped into Timmy on the street – the smile was still there and I immediately felt as if the last time I’d seen him had been 2 minutes ago, and not 2 years – he had the ability to make you feel like the most important person in the world. The world is now poorer for his absence.

This news brings to mind the thought that one hopes never to outlive one’s children, such is the pain one feels for a bright good and clever life that’s been simply snatched away without warning. Tim was so good, so capable, so reliable that he seems a fixture in our landscape, and asking the question “So who have we got on that?” and hearing the answer was “Timmy” meant that it was sorted, attention could be given to other things and TK whether that stood for Top Knotch or Timmy Keogh would be totally on it.
ReplyDeleteAs a designer, there’s always that something extra, the thing you really want to change at the last minute because it’s suddenly become obvious there was a better way to do it, or the director just moved his camera and something else has to move as well, and one’s spirits sink because you’re going to have to go back and ask the crew ever so nicely if they’d even entertain the task at the end of a day when there’d not been enough time from the get-go. The numbers of times I’ve gone to Timmy, and he’s just said “Yes” – just like that that with no further discussion, is what placed him on a pinnacle for me. He was the best, always smiling, always ready to make it happen, and always bringing great people who he lead and made sure that they shared that attitude.
I already miss him dreadfully and my heart goes out to his family and all of us who shared love and respect for a great guy
Tom McPhillips and all of us at Atomic

ReplyDeleteTim was an early childhood friend of mine. I’m sorry learn so late that he has passed. We grew up in fresh meadows together.
