Timothy Harmon

He attended Broad Ripple High School and was a man of many talents – carpenter, widely acknowledged expert in architectural restoration, successful entrepreneur, visual artist, writer, and community activist. He spent many years on the Near East Side of Indy where he owned and operated an architectural salvage store called Tim & Company’s Another Fine Mess. He was a well-known and beloved figure on East Tenth Street, giving much of himself to the community with grace and good humor.

He could often be found having lunch at the Tick Tock Lounge where he was willing to engage anyone on any subject. He was a prime mover in the establishment of the Cottage Home Neighborhood Association, having lived in the area and renovating several old homes there. His publishing venture, Restoration Press, showcased up and coming Indiana poets. He published two books of his own – A Day in the Life of a Very Bad Person and Boomer Boy: My Normal Life. He opened the Teeny Statue of Liberty Museum, a quirky collection of memorabilia inspired by Lady Liberty, which drew visitors from around the world.

He is survived by his son Avi Bailey Harmon, his life partner Julie Crow, his former wife Maribeth Bailey, his sisters Christine, Margaret, and Mary Kay, and his half-brother Thomas Harmon.
