Very sad news.....Tim was one of the first tree guys I was ever exposed to. I worked with him on a crew for the first 2 years of my climbing career. I learned a lot from Tim, not all of it related to tree work...

My condolences to Tim's family and to all who knew him..

Sad indeed. My condolences to the family.

It always wakes me up a little when I hear about a veteran climber like Tim passing in a work related accident. 18 years in trees, 42 years old. He sounds a lot like me. Shows me that it can happen to any one of us regardless of experience.

RIP Tim.
