Although I didn't know Tim very well we often met down the field when walking the dogs. I remember him as a modest, unassuming man who had a genuine kindness towards his fellow people. He was particularly kind to a sad young man in the village whom others often shunned or else confronted. I found out that Tim had helped him enormously in a practical way without any show of self-congratulation. A genuinely lovely man and my thoughts are with Caroline, Katy and Alice.
