Thank you for posting the pics. I keep thinking about it but just didn't know if anyone actually wanted to see them.

It is a shame that I will never get to meet him. It's really strange how the passing of a stranger can impact your life. I only knew him from here, but I feel like I really did know him and knowing he won't post anymore is saddening.

It's what Tim would have done. Likely during a night of drinking.

Rob,

Can you give us a financial status of Irish and the kids at this time. Don't add in the auction items as they will probably go further as we get closer to Friday.

What I do know about her status there.

So far she has received $2200 from all of you guys. That money has been used to pay off some "otang" or credit that they owed for food and miscellaneous expenses.

Tim's funeral and hospital expenses were covered separately from that money and all paid in full.

Additionally, Tim's sister sent some money to Irish as well to help her out.

I don't know what she has as far as cash currently and can get that info this evening. I have also suggested to her that we need to get her setup with a few things. I am going to assist her with getting her own email account (gmail), her own PayPal account, and have suggested that she also open her own bank account. This way all of the money, donations, that are sent go to her in that new PayPal account and not to Tim's business account. I want to keep that money separate so that only she has access to the donations.

I have also suggested that she speak with Tata and negotiate a better salary for him, something that is incentive based so that he has a drive to push the site to higher levels and receive rewards for that hard work.

Tim also has a friend over there right now helping Irish (Tim's wife) out with getting her an ID and processing any paperwork necessary at this time. I do not know him but Tim's sister spoke highly of him and trusts him. He is also an American and lives over there somewhere.

The only reason I even saw them was because Tim was tagged in them on Facebook, which initially struck me as odd but ultimately let people share in the experience.
Somehow, despite the sadness of the event, I think that would really crack Tim up. I can see him getting a kick out of being tagged at his own funeral.
It is really weird because every interaction I had with him was online. No face to face or even telephone, but I feel like I knew him, even though we never met. It's strange to think that the passing of someone I only knew online could impact me the way Tim's death has. I really think everyone saw a little of themselves in him which is why he could relate to everyone.

Same here. I wasn't as often a poster here, lurking most of the time, but pretty much every time I posted, Tim had something, usually witty, to say. He also offered me a couple of manuals to help me out on assorted things.
Good guy, and one I'll miss..

Thank you
Everything is good now.

Tim's family over here wanted to make sure that they secured some things before more donations came in during the transition phase.

For now - you may continue using the [email protected] address for any donations to help out Irish and the kids. However, this will be changing soon so that donations can be separated from business transactions. In the meantime, everything will continue as it has. My wife and I are also working with Irish on this so that we can understand their needs and help her set that budget for her and the kids. Once that is done, plans can be finalized to where they will have access to a monthly stipend in order to purchase food and pay utilities.

Thank you all for your continued support. Irish and the kids appreciate each and every one of you, you have all been a blessing to them.

Thanks, Dixie. I'm honored to be among the donors committed to a monthly partnership to aid Irish and Tim's kids financially. What an elegant legacy!

It's taken me a while to post because I knew Tim personally. May he rest in peace and be blessed by God.
