The Dink Network

I am not sure if this will be a successful post since I do not have a user name or password, but this is Tim's mother. I want to thank you all for the flowers and for your kind words. It is still heartbreaking for our entire family and we miss him terribly.

Tim had suffered for many years from severe anxiety and depression, along with a neurological disorder called Charcot-Marie-Tooth, or CMT. This condition made it difficult for him to stand or walk for long periods of time, and was progressing to his upper extremities. The fact that he was extremely intelligent but unable to have a career was very wearing on him. I tell you this to help you understand, as Tim was involved with this site since he was a boy.

Tim was witty, kind and extremely intelligent. He loved to sing and had a great voice. He was a great cook. He loved his wife very much and his family. We all were very involved with his daily life. Always. His illness just overwhelmed him at a moment when we weren't watching.

Please know that he loved this site and his friends on here. Thank you for remembering our Tim.
