It has been so many years since I had the pleasure of being in Tim's & Annie's presence but the cherished memories are ever present. From the work off of & in New Plymouth and the visit to their Wellington abode ( the Belgian Counts townhouse). It has come as a shock & sadness to hear of such today. My thoughts and prayers go to Tim & all whom were touched by his kind spirit. Mark Bruton

Tim was a great friend I worked with at Little Theatre and NP Operatic Society in the 70's & 80's. Had some good times, laughs and socialising, the Panto's were a lot of fun. Tim got on with everyone and was good fun to be with. Annie both Donna and I send our condolences to you and the family. RIP Tim!

Dear Annie It’s been many years since I saw Tim but how can anyone forget his most gentlest of souls and a beautiful smile that made his eyes crinkle and sparkle. Sharing and thinking of you and your family in sorrow.

Dear Annie I am so sorry and I send my heart felt condolences to you, Martin and Alice. I was very fortunate to meet Tim when I first left home. He was a couple of years older than me and when we started flatting together in Gain Street, he soon became the big brother I had always been looking for. He introduced me to music, theatre, dance and to you. A very genuine and honest man and a good friend to have and I will always remember him this way. I will stream Tim’s service tomorrow and in that way, be with you and remember our time together. Big hug. Steve Dawkins steve.dawkins@ymail.com

Alice, Annie and Martin, No one will forget Tim's infectious energy, his presence was felt in any room he entered. From the car rides to school or breakfast, Tim brought joy to any activity, which is always a challenge with teenagers. Sending love and prayers to you all ❤️

A great and genuine friend to my brother, Parksey, you were a gentle guy. After Stephens surgery you were there at our house, every day. Condolences to you Annie, Alice and family, he will be missed. Love Vicki and Raymond

My deepest sympathy and condolences to Tim’s wife, children and extended family. Tim and I worked together, ROV-ing for Technip, on the CSO Venturer in Australia and Asia for many many years. He was an extremely competent ROV Pilot and Technician who was an absolute joy to be around and to work with. He phoned me in Perth last week, out of the blue”, after MANY years and we had a good catch up chat. I’m thankful for that and it’s so sad to hear of his passing. Gavan Power

The entire community has lost a bright light with Tim's sudden passing. His passion for theatre and dance was infectious, matched only by his generosity in nurturing genuine relationships with his theatre mates. Though the final curtain has fallen too soon, Tim's legacy continues through our fond memories of him. Rest in peace, dear friend.
