[TI] Tim Balsamo

[Tami Leanza]

Thanks Paul, This really upsetting. My family didn't know Tim. Because of the list I got to know him and I am glad that he was a cousin of mine. It is very difficult. He will be missed. This reunion should be a dedication to him. He worked so hard to put it all together for us. He made sure I was a contact person in case something happened. He didn't talk much about how sick he was. Thanks for thoughts and prayers.
Tami Leanza

This is very, very sad news for everyone who knows/knew Tim.  He was always 
a very upbeat, positive person and he will be sorely missed by his family 
and friends and will be a loss to everyone on the Termini  Mailing List.  I 
don't know that Tim really ever spoke about his illness to anyone on the 
List.  He told me that he couldn't come to the Reunion in Rochester last 
year because of his health but never talked about the specifics.  I don't 
know if everyone on the list realizes that Tim was our main host for the 
Cleveland Reunion coming up next month.  I spoke to him several times on the 
phone over the past six months as he made all the Reunion arrangements and 
his only comment to me was that he was trying to make sure everything was in 
place for the Reunion so that it would run smoothly without him "in case my 
health tanks by then."  I never questioned him on his health, but then 
again, I never imaged that he meant that he would be deceased by the time of 
the Reunion.

My condolences to all of his family, particularly those who are members of 
the TI List, which I believe include Madeline Gill and Tami Leanza.  Tim was 
a great guy and will be sorely missed by all who knew him.
