Dear Tim,
Nicky just called to let me know your news. I’m so very sorry.
I wanted to let you know what happy memories I have of that extraordinary time we all shared at Capital. I wanted to let you know how much it matters that you were so bloody good at your job, a job you clearly loved with a passion. It matters that we all laughed a lot. It matters that you set such a fine example. It matters that within the industry you loved your reputation is second to none. It matters that you were such a skilled, patient mentor to me and countless others. It matters that you’ve made a huge difference to many, many lives. So I’m sending you this brief and inadequate note, filled with gratitude and fondness and yes, even love. Because when all is said and done, that’s all that really matters.
Simon
