Just got news that a friend passed away Sunday after a seven year battle with Hodgkins disease. I'm not finding many words to express myself. He was in our vintage scooter club (he was one of the originals 'round here) and he ran a print shop in Minneapolis -- always super friendly and upbeat. I thought he was doing better after a long visit to the doctors in Rochester. Now, as is usually the case, I sure wish I'd known him even better. He was great. Peace, Tim. Thanks for everything.
UPDATE: The memorial service was very sad and all of us cried a lot. But it was also a very joyful gathering and lots of people got up and shared beautiful memories. Very very moving. Laughter and tears and smiles and warmth.
