Simon Cooper

Tim is frequently remembered in these pages as generous but he was never more generous than when he came to Cambridge in the late 1970s to talk about radio with a bunch of us student radio wannabees. He was kind, encouraging and inspired us to go into the industry he so clearly loved. The many times I met him later as I progressed through GWR and Classic FM simply reinforced my respect for his quiet enthusiasm and deep knowledge. The world has lost him, but will continue to benefit from all the talent that he nurtured to get behind a microphone or a mixing desk.
