I don't have a Pay Pal account but want to donate. PM me your address, and how a check should be styled and I'll mail something for Tim's widow. I trust you can get it to her.

Dammit Tim.

I have a question about the car and I don't know who to ask...

I miss our random talks.

That was the first thing I told my wife after finding out. Tim remembered everyones name, whatever was going on in your life the last time he talked to you, just about everything to do with cars, and genuinely cared about everyone here.

At night when he and I would sit and talk either when I was over there or chatting via messenger over the internet - he would always ask about a lot of you guys. He knew I had met quite a few of you in person and always had his thoughts about who you were and what you all looked like, just that he wanted to know more about everyone and hoped that one day he could meet everyone in person.

And when he said his door was open to anyone - he wasn't lying. He had the extra bed at his place he always kept open for anyone to visit.

Tim did what we all have wanted to do from time to time. I guess that is why we all loved him so much.

Tim and I pm'd quite a bit, and I felt like I knew him personally. I'm sure we would've have been absolutely great friends in person too. I found him to be quite interesting, and enjoyed his stories. Our sense of humor ran along the same lines, and I shared many laughs with him. He invited me to PI more than once, and I wish I could've made the trip. I too will miss his presence here, and whatever our future conversations would've been. Rob, I know you are devastated at his loss, so my prayers are with you, your friends, and his family and friends. Hopefully (I haven't read all the posts) we can get a fund going that will somewhat support things there in his absence. His loss is horrible in itself, and for those in his life. Tim, may you rest in peace. We will always miss you. Godspeed my friend.

If enough people can do the same, maybe it will sustain them for a while. I wish I had more to give but I'm kind of thin these days.

Half of that is the monthly school costs and the other half is good and electricity costs.

I think we can all find a way to spare $10 a month can't we?

I am not going to hound people about giving, but I will kindly post up a reminder each month so that those that would like to give can.

If you want a monthly reminder. ( not an obligation, but a reminder ) PM me your email address and I will send you a monthly reminder. I am going to set up something to do this automatically.

Just learned a few days ago. Haven't been on VB much the past 2 months. Though I never met Tim in person, he on several occasions extended an invitation to visit his island. I'm sad I couldn't take him up on those offers. He will be missed around here. Prayers and a donation sent to Tim's family. RIP

He is in an above ground vault in Bantayan (city) of Bantayan Island. It took a little while longer since there were no areas available for a coffin his size and a special one had to be made.

He is not far from the sea.

It looked like many people were there to mark his passing. He will be missed by a lot of people.
