One of my favorite memories of Tim was how his nose would start itching when he saw swarming insects or other gross things. This would also happen to me, and until I met Tim, I thought I was the only one who underwent this experience. One night, it was really late, and I was with the Moss family riding around in their white Ford van. Tim was describing why he believed that the sight of swarming ants made his nose itch. He said, "They just look so 'dissect-ious'." I guess since it was so late, we all started laughing uncontrollably about the neologism and the sincerity with which it was said. For whatever reason, this stands out in mind as one of my favorite memories of Tim. When I was growing up, Tim was so much fun to be around, and since he was a few years older than I, he made me feel older, cooler, and more mature by (i) being willing to spend time with me and (ii) talking to me as if I was in his age group. I am incredibly saddened to hear of his passing, but I look forward to seeing him again someday.
