I was in college with Tim at Capital University. My clearest memory involving Tim was one when the Cap basketball team made it into the NCAA tournament and I was invited, along with I don't remember how many other students (Tim knew everybody!) to stay at the family home in Michigan for the games. Cap didn't get as far as we wanted, but what a party we had! I can't remember how many bodies you had to step over to get to the bathroom - we were all sleeping on the floor, hanging from the ceiling, sleeping under furniture.....we had so much fun that weekend, and Tim was....well, Tim! The ever so gracious, funny fella he had been for 4 years! We stayed in touch after graduation, since we both stayed in Columbus. The only beef I ever had with him was when he left Columbus so suddenly, he took off with a bunch of my 33 1/3 record albums! He had a party one Saturday night and I took the music. When I went out the next day to get them, he was gone - poof. I tried several times to find him, but to no avail. I am sorry I never got to see him again. He was a great friend, a lot of fun, and a gentle soul. My condolences to you all. I hope he is at peace now. Janese Ried, Capital University, class of '70.
