OMG. Terrible.
Clearly, this was a man who understood how to enjoy life. You could see it in the way he asked a question and the expression he wore. Remember the charge he got out of getting featured in one of Bruce's stories told from the stage during concerts?
i enjoyed listening to him even when i might disagree.
I started watching Tim on Meet the Press when I was about 14 or 15 years old; Sunday mornings won't be the same.
Rest in peace, Tim.
