I went to several of his book readings in Chapel Hill. One of his books, Woodrow's Trumpet, disturbed me so much that I asked Tim why he ended it like he did. He said, "that was the only way I could end it". I understand what he meant but when I finished that book I stayed awake all night. I used to see Tim around town and he was an incredibly warm, kind human being ALWAYS. The last time I saw Tim he was at the grocery store buying supplies for a party. When I spoke to him he told me his cancer was back but he said that he wasn't worried about it..... then he invited me to his party. Bye, sweet Tim...... you are missed.
