Tim was a great cook.

Swiss Steak. Skyline Chili. Chicken Divan. That amazing Epic Stew full of 6 kinds of meat and extra testosterone.

Sorry to the folks in the back, standing. I’m long winded but I’m on a roll.

Tim was a traveler.

Despite some limitations he managed to travel to Peru to Machu Pichu. To 2 San Diego Comic cons. To New York City on his own.

Tim had CMT.

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.

Most of you have never heard of it. But it is a neurological disorder like MS or MD that involves the loss of the sensation of touch in the feet and legs and sometimes other parts of the body.

Tim described it like when your foot is asleep, except it’s both feet and legs and it’s all the time, 24-7.

It also caused a lot of pain. Some days worse than others but always some pain.

There is no cure. And it was getting worse.

I don’t know what part that played in Tim’s choice but it had to be a factor.
