Tim was both the great AND the good.
The best combination of creativity, wit, talent, wisdom and integrity.
His news letters, even in this last fading period of life were inspirational warm but appropriately critical of many examples of ineptitude, particularly of government.
In the 90s, when I left Unique and indeed the UK, Tim’s absence from life as a beacon of wise common sense was ever noticeable.
My heartfelt condolences go to Margaret ,Simon and Joanna and indeed all the Blackmorettes. May Tim’s legacy of sentience support you onwards.
