I found it! This was at nydeadhead's party, spring 2002.

That's a great shot of the both of you.

[Tans]

Geez. Love and light.

[Raynequeen]

to his family i wish them peace and love. i will always remember the silly ridiculous times we had, and i hope he will be guided on with peace of mind and ease in his spirit:heart:

[Some1lls]

Oh this breaks my heart. I didnt know him although his name is familiar.
It would be really nice for those of you who did know him to share a story ...a positive one...and someone get them all together and sent it to his parents, this way they know he mattered
RIP Nucka

[alsoa]

Very sad to hear this. Safe travels Tim.

[TigerRose]

I was very sad to hear about this today (Thanks to IASW for the text). I was rooting for him in his struggles. He is in my thoughts today.

[DJ Easy Wind]

Sorry to hear of the loss of your friend, Sarah...

[SunshineDrummer]

R.I.P. Nucka.

Didn't know him, but wanted to pay my respects. Always so tragic to see someone leave us at such a young age.

[Jack Straw]

Wow, this sucks in every conceivable way.

[katmama]

wow. so very sad. we pm'd quite a bit about life and depression and meds and searching..... he was troubled but he was really trying ....
RIP nucka.

[PeaceFrog]

he was just a really nice guy! He was one of the most generous people I've met, and he was very humble in person. He would keep you laughing too. He had a very dry, sarcastic sense of humor, but he was pretty much spot on with everything he said.

He will definitely be missed by me.

[PieDoh]

RIP Tim.....

[DayStar]

wow. rip nucka.

[Mutant]

R.I.P monucka.

Say hi to Jerry for us.

[Eddie Z]

Sorry to hear of this. All condolences to friends, family, and effected boardies. RIP nucka.

[pixiebug]

I have to laugh at the one time I ever really hung out with Nucka. It was in I believe Danbury after the Monkey Bar...or it might have been Albany. (Believe it or not...I used to go to lots of shows...even ones outside of CT!!! haha) Dee was there, too. He yelled at me for being too loud. Then Drew drooled on my sweatshirt after I licked a "wet floor" sign.

yup, that was Danbury. The SPPPPOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNN night




i'd like to point out just how much he HATED having his real name used on the internet. I bet he's pissed off at everyone who typed "Tim"

[katydid]

[scarfire]

sad news to hear.

his occasional pop-ins will be missed on this board.

hung out by a campfire at frosty acres one night and he was an interesting guy.

[Tabbooma]

Too young to go, my condolences to his family and friends

[Drop_o_Rain]

[Goose]

Wow!
RIP

His posts always reminded me of a childhood friend that was riding the same roller coaster and spoke his mind similarly. My friend died the same way.

[georgi]

yup, that was Danbury. The SPPPPOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNN night

Is that me in the chair behind him?

Yes, SPOOOON!!!

That's why he told me to shut up...because I kept yelling spoon.

[syd_25]

holy crap.
RIP:heart:

You're RIGHT!! He probably is!!
Forgot about that, sorry Nucka, or Monucka, which is the first incarnation of you I met.

Let him come get us (and thanks, Sugar_Mag). This sucks. I'd said goodbye and let him know he was loved when he was at an unrecognizable point, many months ago. This isn't supposed to be what happens when you've cleaned up and you're doing better (and he was).

For his sake, I'm glad he went when things were looking up and forward, in his life. Much better than a down and out exit, not that I think he knew his next stop wasn't waking up on the couch. (I may be being naive, but that's based on our correspondence and talking to THC, yesterday.)

I think a likely painless, unplanned, upswing exit on the couch at home is a pretty good way to go. My heart goes out to his family, friends and lovers who miss him.

I tend to delay my reactions ... they caught up with me this morning. I didn't realize how much I could miss someone I saw so infrequently. Freakin' interwebs, keeping folks well-connected and stuff. ((folks sad to see him go))

{{{spoon}}}

something is telling me that's little frog behind him...?

[KrisNYG]

My condolences to his family and friends.

[little frog]

sure looks like me .. where were we?

[Lostsailr]

We never met, but through your friends...Shine On.

someone should posthumously write his book ...6ish chapters are done.

it's always sad to see a friend go we've lost some amazing folks here

[nydeadhead]

wow i am not really sure what to say....i found out last night while looking on facebook on my phone but had to wait till today to respond here cause lack of internet at home. greg told me all about it cause he was the only one i knew was up last night when i got home from work. my thoughts went to my spring party in 2002 that sara was talking about. that was the first time i had met him. he pm me asking if he could go and letting me know he was not as bad as everyone had made him out to be on the board. i was more than happy to have him and i ended up making a great friend that weekend. could not sleep last night my mind kept wandering on all the times we did get to hang out even tho they were few and far between but we always had the time to stop and chat with me when i saw him on lot or at a fest. i always tried to be a beam of light when his tunnel was so dark. i hope that he is at peace now and no longer hurting. may the 4 winds blow you safely home tim and i don't care how much you hated your name said you will always be tim to me. till we meet again friend...till we meet again.

[Kuzsin]

...............it's amazing how we got something like the internet....that connects people ...that lets people share their stories... their feelings ......their lives.....
........we all write our own story......some choose to write it here on these boards......some stories end way too soon. RIP author Nux.....

Brokedown Palace
Lyrics By: Robert Hunter
Music By: Jerry Garcia


Fare you well, my honey
Fare you well, my only true one
All the birds that were singing
Are flown, except you alone


Gonna leave this brokedown palace
On my hands and my knees, I will roll, roll, roll
Make myself a bed by the waterside
In my time, in my time, I will roll, roll, roll


In a bed, in a bed
By the waterside I will lay my head
Listen to the river sing sweet songs
To rock my soul


River gonna take me, sing me sweet and sleepy
Sing me sweet and sleepy all the way back home
It's a far gone lullaby sung many years ago
Mama, Mama, many worlds I've come since I first left home


Going home, going home
By the waterside I will rest my bones
Listen to the river sing sweet songs
To rock my soul


Going to plant a weeping willow
On the bank's green edge it will grow, grow, grow
Singing a lullaby beside the water
Lovers come and go, the river will roll, roll, roll


Fare you well, fare you well
I love you more than words can tell
Listen to the river sing sweet songs
To rock my soul:heart:

He will definitely be missed by me.

The first time I met Monucka, he was shy, polite, intelligent and all PeaceFrog noted above. Every time there after, he was less shy, very much a gentleman.

My heart is weeping that he passed before he was able to dissolve his pain and suffering during this life time.

[mylightning2]

My condolences to Tim's Friends and Family.
