Sad news. 
Just heard that long-time member and contributor Tim Gunn passed away from a Brain Aneurysm on Friday. 

He was such a knowledgeable and genuinely helpful guy, helping me as I built burners and forges over the years, as well as offering help to many others.
It came as a bit of a shock to hear that he had passed.

At least he can rest easy, knowing that he will be missed.

RIP Tim. 

Sorry to hear. My condolances to the people close to him and the ones who knows him.

That comes as a terrible shock. Please offer Tim's family and friends my deepest condolences. I will be saying prayers for their comfort and well being. Such a sudden loss is always terrible for those close I only knew Tim at  great remove on the internet but liked and grew to respect him deeply as I became more acquainted. 

I may not be able to do much but offer prayers but please know I won't forget Tim.

See you on the other side Tim.

Sincerely  Jerry Frost, Frosty

 

I heard from a posting by Owen Bush (Basher) on Facebook this morning.
I only knew Tim on the internet (on both sides of the Pond) but felt a close association over the years.

I felt I should mention it on here, as he was a member for over 16 years.

RIP Tim.

You did right Tink, his Iforge family might not be in his official family but we loved him and will cherish his memory. 

Have you ever read the poem, "The Rainbow Bridge?" 

It may sound strange but it says it pretty well for me.

Frosty The Lucky.

Rest om peace, Tim.

Rest in peace.

I have never heard of the poem, Frosty. It's lovely, I'll remember that one.

Prayer of departed

“Just close your eyes and you will see, All the memories that you have of me. Just sit and relax and you will find, I’m really still there inside your mind. Don’t cry for me now I’m gone, For I am in the land of song. There is no pain, there is no fear, so dry away that silent tear. Don’t think of me in the dark and cold, For here I am, no longer old. I’m In that place that’s filled with love, known to you all as ‘UP ABOVE’.”

I can’t control the wind. All I can do is adjust my sails. ~Semper Paratus~ USCG 1964-1970
