Rest peacefully, timberlandko

Hello, Amy. How lovely to hear from a member of Kevin's family!

Welcome, welcome! Very Happy

As you've no doubt noticed in this thread, Kevin (timber) was very highly thought of by folk here, too.

My deepest commiserations for your huge loss. This can't be a good time for any of you right now.

Thanks for that insight, Amy.
Your remark about Kevin going first so Sam wouldn't be afraid brought a
lump to my throat.

Amy--

Welcome to A2K.

Thank you for sharing your memories of Kevin. We've been hurting here, but well aware that his family's grief must be even greater.

Hi Amy , I want to say that most of us considered Kevin a friend and we miss his boisterous, intelligent, and witty voice . I feel like Ive parted with a friend even though all our get-togethers were virtual. My deepest sympathy to all the Timberlandko family members, be they two legged or four legged.

To Tell ya the truth, its still not sunk in completely with me that his opinions and knowledge will be absent .

Me too.

Amy, thanks so much for contributing to this thread. Too often, when someone from the A2K community dies, we have no contact with their real-life life. What we see here is only a small part (though in Kevin's case, maybe not - he was really very much himself here) of a person. Having family members like you come to talk with us, well, it helps me grieve and understand more about my online friend.

Does that make sense? I'm not so good with wording this kind of thing.

Yes, I, too, don't really get it - still looking for timber's responses on various threads ..

And that remark about Sam - you said it.

My name is Amy, Kevin was my husband's "step dad" (J's son)... we had some very good times! Kevin was a warm and generous person, IN person... laughed a lot and LOVED his dogs. He would do anything for anyone in the family without hesitation. AND he was a damn good cook. Someone mentioned Kevin's politics, and most of us "kids" disagreed with him on everything too, but it never mattered! Kevin's beloved dog Sam was having a second bought with cancer in the weeks prior to Kevin's death... exactly three days after Kevin passed, Sam was put down... it was almost like Kevin wanted to go first so Sam wouldn't be afraid. We, in Kevin's family, loved him very much, and he will be sorely missed.

Thank you very much, Amy. I had many on-line conversations with Kevin. I felt that I knew him personally. His warmth that you experienced in real life also shows in his conversations with us at A2K. I hope you have had a chance to read Kevin's writings on this website.

Your many comments have brought me to tears... J hasn't brought herself to read your posts yet- I am going to make them into a book for her. Below is a picture of Kevin and Sam, taken by my husband, just weeks before Kevin and Sam passed. Much love,
Amy

Amy,

thank you for posting this wonderful picture.

i took the liberty of shrinking it down -- hope you don't mind.

(i'm quite sure Kevin doesn't mind...)

Thank you so much, Amy... and welcome to A2K. Your picture is fantastic.

Twice this week already; friends have called me with computer problems, and I've had to explain that I can no longer be as useful by half without Kevin to provide the genuine knowledge. I've seldom seen people so dedicated to helping strangers. Our politics are similar too, so I run into his posts constantly. I loved it when he'd post this photo with a caption like, "keep up the good work, Democrats". Laughing

I miss him. Sad

Hello Everyone ... I chose this name today, seemed fitting. My name is Tony, Amy G is my brother's wife, Timber was my mom's boyfriend.

I'm deeply touched by the things I'm reading here, and want you to know how good it is to hear all this. I've known Kevin for 19 years, which is more than 1/2 my life. He was a good man, and one heck of of cook.

My last conversation to him was about setting up a webcam so Ma could see her babies down here in Texas. I remember telling him, "If you're busy we can do this some other time..." I miss him already.

Tony G.
