Yesterday I learned, through a friend, that an acquaintance of mine died suddenly this week. Timm wasn’t a close friend, but was one of those open-hearted people that you can just tell is full to the brim with Good Stuff. I haven’t talked to him in at least three years, maybe four…but I remember the last time I did, I had called him about something simple and we ended up talking about all kinds of things for an hour. Timm was the kind of guy you just wanted to know better.
Since we only interacted on a few occasions, I don’t really have many memories of him, but I wish I did. I found myself at work today feeling sad that the world has lost such a good soul.
Timm was one of those people who had the compassion of Jesus oozing out of his pores. I will remember that about him.
