You will always be missed, Tim.
I knew Tim when we were teenaged neighbors in Wilkinsburg. We're both from big Irish-Catholic families; our parents, brothers and sisters all knew one another and were friends for years. Mrs. Kennedy and our mother, who, having produced between them nearly 20 children, had a lot in common and became lifelong pals. Even after our paths diverged as we got older, I heard a lot about what the Kennedy \"kids\" were doing. I'm not surprised that Tim was devoted to his faith and his Irish roots but I didn't realize how active he was in Stillpoint. When I saw his name in the subject line of the email I received from Stillpoint today, I thought, Tim? Stillpoint? I attend events and sit zazen at Stillpoint but I never knew Tim did. So he was a \"Zen Catholic\"? What a wonderful designation. I think I'll start calling myself that too--because it is true. Thank you, Tim. You have left us but, in so many ways, you are still here.
I’ll always be grateful for Tim’s profound influence on my life, and for my memories of the Kennedy family’s close knit joy. God bless all of you. -Mikki
