Tim Conrardy

I just learned of Tim's passing when I tried to e-mail him. Thanks for creating this site.

 

Tim was my best friend in grade school and junior high here in Washington state. We had many great childhood adventures! (And hello to David and the rest of Tim's family!) We started playing guitar at the same time, and had a blast learning and jamming together.

 

After Tim's family moved away, we fell out of contact for many years. Then a couple of years ago, Tim found me on the Internet. We caught up and shared some creative things we'd done since last seeing rach other. We'd planned to do some musical collaboration over the Internet in the future.

 

When Tim contacted me after all those years, I could see he was still the nicest guy, never a trace of malice or guile, always kind, always creative. We need more folks like Tim in the world, so sad to see him gone from us. But his memory leaves me with a good feeling.

Some how TIM, being back in the Bay Area is not the same this year without our every year get together. You are so deep in my heart and thoughts , especially this time of year. My prayers for your parents, for your brothers and sisters, and center family. Mostly I pray and send my love to Diane and Christina at this special time. I miss you every day, and your music WILL NOT go forgotten......Your reward comes in Heaven and your music shall flourish long after we are all gone..... You touched so many ives, there is not a single corner of this earth that you did not touch someones life through your music, spirit, kindness , soul and heart..... Bless you TIMBO, I miss you but rejoice that you are in the heavens above watching over all of us, and that one day you and our loved ones will all be together again. I will have to wait, but I look for you invert cloud formation I see. Your brother in music, Patbo -out-

I only knew Tim because of his online Atari site (he helped me in my Falcon days) and for one free form live musical collaboration we did together (along with others). It was put together by Rick Escobar. I just found some video files of a few of the pieces we did... http://www.particlesalad.com/video/uno.mov http://www.particlesalad.com/video/dos.mov http://www.particlesalad.com/video/tres.mov http://www.particlesalad.com/video/quattro.mov Enjoy...

Timbo, your music and friendship will last forever.

 

I was crushed to look up Tim’s Midi World on the Internet to find a link that said you have moved on. Although I never had a chance to meet you face to face, you have been a caring and understanding person to me on the net in your Email’s for many years and I will miss you deeply. I will miss your friendship, guidance and advice on my projects and most of all the hart and soul of your music that we will miss now.

As a newcomer to the world of soft synths, TimC (as I knew him) made my early travels a lot more interesting and educational.  I only wish I could've learned more from him.

My most sincere condolences to Tim's family.

Adieu, Tim.  You'll be missed!
