Thoughts and prayers going to Tim’s family. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
Lisa and family. So very sorry to hear this. Paul and I are thinking of you
I have a thousand memories of our fellow comrade, Tim, who was the second keyboard player for Pegasus. I will never forget the legendary gigs at “The Bank,” in Cortland, NY. Also, he was one of the funniest people on this earth, we knick-named him “Hee Haw” Grant.
His great early band, T.G & The Nightriders were a tremendous inspiration to all of us aspiring musicians back in the day. Their gigs at Oswego Catholic High, of all places, were truly wonderful.
May his soul be at peace and soar to the heights of all possibilities.
Lisa, Elaina, Brian and all of Tim’s family, we are so very sorry to hear of your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you
