Tim gave me my start as a writer publishing my first article when he was the editor of the Fisherman back in '92. He will be missed..............

Well said George.
I never met Tim, but have heard about him from some of his friends. In all the stories I heard, I never heard a bad word about him... May he rest in peace.

I don't know about anyone else, but me? I'd much rather drop into the Weekapaug sand before I knew what hit me, than sit in hospice on a morphine drip.

Agreed... just not today, or the next twenty years I hope. |

Jeezus, our community has lost a genuine pioneer, an advocate, and a real soft-spoken gentleman. Rest in peace. You shortened the learning curve for me, opened many new doors for me, and perhaps most importantly, heightened my appreciation and love for our common sport.

I have been thinking about this all day...
The only reason I could come up with is that Silent George must have found a bass bite in heaven that was better than the 1980 BI bite those guys fished...and asked God to send up his fishing buddy.
The on-earth fishing community has sure had it's setbacks recently that's for sure.

Too many people in this world have chosen to stop living long before they die...
Tim on the other hand actively lived his life right up to the end of it, doing what he loved in the great outdoors. We all hope to live forever, but our final day is God's to choose... The only thing we can choose is what we do with each day... Tim spent his day outdoors fishing... He made the most of life. A man who will not soon be forgotten.

The hard part is for piemma,Sandman ,Mike an few other of us is that more fishin buddies we know or knew are not gonna be run into in the middle of the night or at those out of the way spots we fish.So many i learned from are now gone that the fishing is deffinitely not the same.
I still remember the ist time I met Tim while fishing with Bob Pond in the 70's at Napatree.I was just a kid then.Gladd I've got the memory just sad he won't be on the west wall this spring to remember it with.

I guess we all need to be "those guys" now to the people coming along, even though I know I'll never be "those guys" in terms of what they knew. |

There wasn't that much fun back in the late 70's early 80's - piss poor economy, a bleak outlook, the threat of a nuclear war hanging over everyone's head.
Narragansett was post-Armageddon in the winter. People in south of Warwick did not embrace the disco culture - at all. It was bleak. The chance to get together with a bunch of cool guys who were active and in their prime and to fish for money - that must have eclipsed a lot of lives with respect to true enjoyment.

I wonder if 40 years from now people will say:There wasn't that much fun back in the teen's - piss poor economy, a bleak outlook, the threat of a terrorism hanging over everyone's head |

Hey Joe, that's not true. We ran to The Back, smoked joints and crushed bass all night. Some of the guys did that go fast dust to stay up for 3 or 4 days but most of us just caught fish, sold fish and had a great time.  |

It's interesting the nostalgia for those just exiting the stage left and you don't see the new players coming on stage right.
Tim sounds like a very interesting person to have met...too bad. RIP.

Spence - he was one of those guys you meet that you know you are better for having met. I did not know him well but my few conversations with him were always great. |
