I can't get the death of Tim out of my head. He is close to my age.. and he was the only news person who could inspire me to really listen to political babble. Normally, the bla bla bla was too much for me.. but Tim made me listen! He had joy, and a "impish" grin that made the dry and hard hitting more digestable. He explained things and he was never mean....Like me was Catholic, first to graduate college in his family and full of working class values. When he came on TV I felt myself smile. ( "one of us" I thought!)

I hope he is in heaven, on a hammock, sipping his favorite drink .... and looking out for this country he loved. I have no doubt he will be the whole country's angel... as he loved us well.. and we him...

God bless and rest him.... and comforting and loving thoughts go to his family.. the world is so less bright with out him... I so miss him...even now...
