OMGoodness, Glad to hear from you! This is Mary, his wife. I was hoping, and should've known that he had set something up to let you know...
Tim passed into the great beyond Saturday, the 9th, at about 4 pm. His obit was in the KC Star on 4/12 under Timothy Paul Meador.
We played his requested Pink Floyd tune, Wish You Were Here/Shine On You Crazy Diamond...LOUD.. with all the windows open wide! It was so windy that day! His spirit was swirling round and round the room.
Our daughter, Sarah, spent the night and we left the windows open! I cuddled up in his robe and blankets..it felt like camping..we could smell someone's fire pit! Sunday morning brought some cleansing rain and rumbles of thunder. We sat on the front porch listening to the birds and rumbles..smelled so fresh..could feel him near!
Tim/Crash let us read some of your comments to him after he let you in to his plan. I really had no idea how he kept busy these past few years. I'm so glad he had an outlet and was able to share his vast knowledge of self taught computer stuff.. You all left such wonderful messages! I know he felt appreciated and meant so much to him..and me.
The picture in the paper is from Tuesday's Royals' day home opener. Sarah came over to watch with him. this VDD journey took much longer than we expected.. but gave us time to cross some milestones.. Our 38th anniversary, being able to watch spring training games and then even both of the home openers! And of course plenty of time for all our reminiscing which brought us closure.
We're going to scatter his ashes in some of our favorite places, including a park we'll always call Lake City Park, out near the ammo plant of the same name east of town, a mountainside in Colorado, and under a tree that we'll plant in the back yard.
Our Angel Tim will certainly Shine On!
Thanks for getting in touch!
