So very sorry to recently learn of Tim’s premature passing. Tim was the first friend I made when my family returned (or in the case of three of my siblings and I, migrated to) GB in 1969 when we both started secondary school at Charters in Sunningdale. He lived just up the road from me in Ascot and we shared the same walk to the school bus until 1976, friends the whole time, sometimes going on youth hostel expeditions and sharing many adventures of extremely dubious, life building experiences! As many friends do over the years, Tim and I drifted in and out of each other’s lives afterwards but each reunion was always a pleasure. Sadly the last reunion was twenty four years ago and has left an irrecoverable gap in our all too short friendship. Time is priceless and we carelessly waste it at our peril. Tim, you’ll always be unique, and never be forgotten. Rest in peace, my dear friend.
