We have very fond memories of Tim during his time in the Cathedral Choir. Affable and kind he always remembered little details about individual's lives and gladly contributed to the Cathedral community.
Thinking of you all Cherry, James and George.

A huge number of laughs playing `games´ with Tim and Cherry at Glandovey Road... it was very significant for Sue and me to continue on our friendship following George and James´ Ro. House says. Tim was one of life´s `good nuggets´ and we are so fortunate that our paths fortuitously `crossed´. Thank you Tim and Cherry for all your kindness and support. I am so sorry we are away today in Hokitika and can´t make it to the Transitional Cathedral. Our thoughts are with you, Cherry, George, James and your respective partners and children. Please visit....
Love from Graeme and Sue Worner

I have worked with Tim for many years with assessment and moderation and he would always make people laugh, he had a wit about him but also a passion for ensuring competency for trainees, he will be a great loss and my condolences to his family

What a pleasure to have shared some of my life with Tim. His quiet dry humour always came out in The Canterbury Plainsmen especially on the risers at rehearsals and also at conventions. I was privileged also to sing alongside him in the mixed Acapella choir Accord. His high tenor voice was always clear and precise in quartets and in the chorus. Always quick witted he also had a more serious side that made him a great ideas man. To Cherry and family, Janice and I wish you all happy memories when you farewell him on Saturday. Our thoughts are with you at this sad but also happy occasion. We are unable to be with you on Saturday as we have a houseful for our Covid belated
Golden wedding ( now 55yrs) celebration. God will welcome the new counter tenor in his celestial Choir. Go well good friend.
