View Full Version : TeeJay is no more

My younger brother Timothy W. James passed away from an apparent heart attack at age 54. Bok met him once before he started building his 4,000 sq/ft garage, which can be seen here http://www.ironbits.net/garage/index.html (http://www.dbestern.com/garage/index.html), where he introduced him to Big Red http://www.ironbits.net/images/bigred.mov (http://www.dbestern.com/images/bigred.mov) .
His handle here was TeeJay and he crunched under the name of Elf.
We combined our efforts in DC crunching several years ago, so wherever you see IronBits or Elf in the stats, that would be us, with most of the power coming from his DC pharmage.
Tim was well known in the construction industry for about 25 years as a master crafstman and wizard, then I helped him get his first computer back in 1987, a Northgate for those that can remember, so that he could do Auto Cad and get out of the HOT Arizona sun.
Words just can't do any justice to explain the many talents he had that others sought him out for or how smart he was.
He will be sorely missed by his family and many friends and co-workers.

So I climb out of the woodwork, and find this. No good.
I'm so very sorry, IB. For you, I wish a decent private cry to acknowledge your loss, the strength to carry on for you and your family, and a flood of the fondest and funniest memories you have of your brother, so the good times are what you remember first and best.
If there's anything we can do, we're here.

My condolences as well, IB.
Nothing like a "Real Life" tragedy to remind us that there are real people behind the avatars and handles.
Thoughts and prayers with you.
