Thanks Timmy

Hi Timmy.

It's been a week now since we said goodbye. I don't know why our paths never crossed before last summer but I'm sure glad they did. I probably knew you the least of everyone in the theatre last week but I feel like I've known you all my life. You'd call me just to talk (man you can talk for hours!) and, honestly, I'd hang up, look at the phone and say to myself "Who the hell is this guy!!! I just met him and he's talkin my head off!. He's got something up his sleeve….". Of course, I was wrong about that wasn't I?

I never told you this but when I was looking for a rigger I called a friend and asked for a referral. Before I could even get the "er" in rigger out of my mouth the answer that came back was "Call Timmy Keogh. Here's his number." The referral wasn't to Top Knotch or to the office number. It was to you and your cell and I can see why that was. It's because you ARE Top Knotch and everyone you brought in was an extension of you. Your spirit and energy flowed so naturally to every member of your crew. That's what I think I miss the most right now. Your energy and your vibe and your spirit and your damn smile. I don't think I've ever met anyone who smiled as much as you and now I can't get that smile outta my head.

Thanks Timmy, for letting me know you a little. Thanks for the comfort you gave me knowing that I always had a Top Knotch crew. Thanks for your smile.
