RIP 2012

[Snowflake]

Nope, not anyone famous. Also not anyone known to any of my LoT friends. But, I'm sad, lost a good friend today. He was a sweet, sweet man. Loved magic (he was a very good magician) and loved Buster Keaton, silent films and liked me even though I was a Valentino fan.

Tim had a severe stroke last year and overcame so much disability and recovered so well he was mobile, able to do a little magic and got to make it down to San Francisco to realize his dream of seeing the restoration of Napoleon in March. He was thrilled, he looked good, we got to hug a lot and he gave Kevin Brownlow a bottle of really good scotch for Napoleon. He was about to get his driver's license back and move back into his apartment and get his beloved kitties back. He'd been to the doctor last week and all his tests were good regarding the likihood of another stroke. He went to sleep sometime today and did not wake up. It's a good way to go, but damnation, I'm sorry I won't see him or talk to him again. Feh.
