An Almost Met Passes On

[G-Fafif]

Great work.

The obvious question that occurs to me at times like these: Any relation to Tim?

Since Tim wasn't mentioned, I assume no.

Live and be well, Tim Belcher, but after October 1988, I'll have a hard time mourning you if your time comes before mine.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

I think you just spoiled Tim Belcher's day.

That was grim reaperish, wasn't it?
