Timothy F. Wilson

Tim was a man who loved the natural world as much as he loved his family.

"Do no harm" was not a quote for Tim, but a way of life.

The excitement he felt at the anticipation of seeing and spending time with his children and grandchildren was paralleled by his anticipation of seeing and spending time in the forest.

Tim's legacy to his children, grandchildren, life partner, family and friends was peace, love, and laughter.

To touch his grandchild's hand was to touch the petal of a flower.

To laugh with his sons was equal to the roar of the waterfalls he enjoyed so much.

When he laid down with his life mate at night, he would declare "this was a good day."

Tim loved and was loved so very much. We will miss him. The Earth will miss him.

Tim died at 1:49 p.m. Monday, May 21, 2012, at IU Medical Center.
