Lynda,

Thanks for posting this.  Tim & I have been pretty good friends, as well. You're right, he was both an accomplished fellow and a very fine person.

Tim first contacted me, many years ago, after I mentioned one of his very fine stories in a piece I wrote for the BWJ.  After that, we stayed in touch fairly regularly. He encouraged me to join The Outdoors Sportswriters of America association and we often shared thoughts on travel in Quetiico & elsewhere. It was only just before Covid that he & I considered planning a Q trip together; I believe he was already 80 years old!

Tim gave me the privilege of reading & editing his book on Quetico before he sent it off for possible publication.  Every park enthusiast should read it.  I am grateful he was so able to share his evident joy with so many readers in so many magazines, books & lectures over the years.  He will be sorely missed!

I will soon enter Quetico to meet up with several other QJers who either knew or knew of Tim.  Most assuredly, there will be a toast in his memory in those great outdoors which he held so dearly and shared with so many.

Thanks, again, Lynda.
