oh boy.... old man Tim... how I miss you so..... you and I had camped out in Stanley Park for about 4 years together long ago, and you had always been there to help uplift my spirit wether by singing and prancing about or seeking me out for much needed "tough love" .... it was an absolute honor haveing you around in my life for all those many years.... if it were not for you, on more times than I could EVER possibly manage to count.... i honestly do NOT know in what direction my life might have taken a turn, you have helped me towards my sobriety of all the useeless junk I was wasting away on, and you would be very glad to know that after 11 years, I am STILL clean and off all that junk..... I've been worried about you and your health ever since the Police came into our camping area and cleared us all out.... i thought you might have kicked the bucket shortly after, you were not doing so well..... but then a year or two passed and HUZZAAAAA!!!!! you were strolling away down on Granville, beard grown long now with a walker, back hunched, yet, regardless still the very gentle old cheery soul I had always come to remember.... i felt an intense spark of light overcome me and fill me up brightly..... It meant the world to me knowing that you were, despite your current healt6h condition, still very much alive and still very full of blissful soul, it made me cry to see you alive............... but the tears were shed heavily the night I found out about your departure as well....... there is a young lad i have met that I had wished wouldve been able to meet you, for he, as you were, is a jolly good fellow that sangs and prances just as you did.... my heart aches knowing that my oldest and dearest friend, also named Tim, has departed..... but alas, in your lessons, you gave me light and hope to continue on, straighten my crown, pick up my feet, and keep strapping on.... I can never, ever, EVER give up.... for hell on high water, you would surelyy reign down on me and say "oyo timmy lad my boy, what Aaaaaarrrrr (emphasis on the Aaaaar) ye doin' laddie?!" haha..... I can still hear your humbled "ho ho ho" laughter..... followed by your activist music sang on cue in times when people needed it most..... in life, and even in death... you will ALWAYS be, the great and wonderful Mr. Tim the Enchanter.... i miss you my dearest friend..... and one day.... i cannot wait for us to meet again and dance and prance about all through the pearly wooded forests..... but until that day, I will continue on forward.... just as you had always wished.... rest easy my beautiful friend.... this is not the end.... and I will see you again...... many heart felt emotions and my deepest condolences to all other friends and families..... this man was a gentle soul, a healer, a scoundrel even at times hahaha..... a bard, an entertainer, and, to me, the most purest soul ive ever had the greatest pleasure of meeting on my own journeys in life.... thank you Tim....... for everything......

MY deepest condolences to Tim's folks, family and friends. I cannot begin to tell you of all of the good memories I have of Tim. I was a system orphan while in the Sally Ann Village in Calgary, back in the 70"s and early 80's. I've never had contact with any of my family, ever. Tim started there in 80(?), and we instantly clicked. He was my friend, and hero. Staff like him were very rare. Always greeted folks with "G'day, sir!" I had been there since '74. I needed someone to look up to, play football with, and pal around. He was like a big Brother, truly! It was my memories of his "lion" strength, and kind and humane virtue that helped me to hold myself together while 17 and homeless in Calgary, with no one to call on for help. Some folks rightly know that I should have become a "D/A Rager!", fueled by environment and life experience of a dozen foster homes then the SA, then kicked out onto the streets. Reasons enough! But, I refused to go that way! I've never been in jail, barely a criminal record, nothing but weed EVER! I quit booze over 20 yrs now, tho I've never had bad issues with it. I'm a proud blood donor, and I follow Christ. An avid outdoorsman and experienced flyfisherman. Tim, being a rare breed, and a much needed respectable elder to me, had made an impression on me as a kid that did not quit. We met up only a few times on the trail through the years. Big grins and a joined "G'day, sir!' with a firm handshake, always started the meet! I was surprised to see him busking and homeless here in Calgary. I helped him as I could. I was also surprised that he knew my estranged daughter, who knew him as "a kind and wise street elder". My daughter was just as surprised when I told her to look out for him, "He's a Gooder!" To say the least, our society needs more of him. Many more! I'll light one up and tip one back in his name, with a loud n proud wolf howl on Nose Hill! I may have missed his death, memorial and burial, but his memory is intact. We'll meet again, my friend. In JC's garden! AAAAWWWWRRRRROOOOOO!!!!

I was saddened to learn of Tim's passing. My deepest condolences and thoughts to the entire family, and especially to you, Judy. Like others, I remember Tim's love of canoeing and the outdoors. I can still remember him excitedly paddling up to the Orange Cottage one morning with some freshly caught fish. Ron
