JFC...I go to E-burg to turn a bid in for a road job and I get this news. In fact I just sent him a pic of my kiddo an hour ago with his first tweety bird kill!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOW...in shock.....I talked to him a month ago and he was fishing/rafting some class 3-4 water in Oregon. We talked after hunting season when he was takin' a big blacktail to his taxidermist in North Bend...Tim had a giant buck on his property that was driving him crazy...we talked theories and strategy about how to get the deer.

We only fished together a couple times on Rufus (Rico and his daughter were on the 1st trip), but we definately had a connection. When he got the "Big D" news he called me and Robbo for advice. We did a camp out with his girls and my family once on Rufus and we all had a blast (he got SO sun burned)!

He was such a driven man!!! I admired his intelligence, as well as his blunt-ness. If he had a thought you were going to hear about it. The world was a good place with Tim in it. Im sippin wiggy now...just feel kinda lost! He was truly a friend, even though we didn't see each other much. I'm sad about the situation and for his family!!!!!! I'll stop rambling.
