Found this one from 1990 with Tim (they cut him off at the jaw!). Happy days at Tim's Gym.

Hey Sid
Only just heard of Tim's passing earlier this year (I'm in Melbourne, Australia and don't hear much local stuff). Haven't worked out at TG since '92 but those early days (86-92) were stuff of legends - way too many stories to tell in this forum. And I checked every photo I ever had taken at Tim's Gym. I concur he was in them all! For sure he was one of a kind. Always super supportive of me in my teenage years. I'm still telling Tim's Gym stories in 2021. RIP Tim.

Hi Sid,
I'm not really comfortable putting my email address on here for the world to see. If you're comfortable with leaving yours, i'd love a catch up.

Cheers

Army.

Thoughts are with your family. I hadn't seen you for a long time, I think Santo was about 3 or 4 years old!! So sorry to hear you have passed. RIP Tim.

My deepest wishes go out to Santo, and Tim's family. I have some very good memories of Tim, so I would like to concentrate on those, please find enclosed a picture of Tim, Stuart Cosgrove and myself.
Tim always wanted to be on every photo, so much so we used to say, "Even if it's an arm or leg or even a shoe, he will always find a way of getting on a photo"
Well here he is, hope you're doing OK mate... Cheers mate xx
