To the Baird-Lewis Family: For some reason I decided to google Timothy Crompton Lewis and found out that he had passed away in September. I am living in B.C. now, so did not hear of his passing. I am not sure if you remember me, but I moved to Brantford from Edmonton to be with Tim. Although our relationship did not last, he had an impact on who I have become. He was talented and passionate, which were the two things that attracted me most to him. I have thought of him often in the past, and had no idea he was so sick. My condolences go out to the family, and I would also like to say how saddened I am for you over the death of Reginald and Christopher. Again, so very sad for all of your losses. Sincerely, Tara Hennigar

This picture was taken last September when I came back to Brantford for a visit. Tim and I played video games, and chatted about the good old days gone by and all the friends that we still had living in Brantford. We laughed for hours. After 28 years of friendship, we could still sit on the floor, legs crossed and act like we were in our teens. I will miss you my dear friend! You were gifted as a friend, and a artis !Love Annie Batchelor Victoria B.C.

Jennifer, Gillian, Robin and Mrs Lewis. My sincerest and most heartfelt condolences go out to you and yours at this difficult time. Timothy and I were neighborhood friends and classmates at Graham Bell School from Kindergarten to Grade 7. Although we didn't keep it up, Tim left a lasting impression on me. Tim was an extremely talented individual, and his charisma and leadership abilities were evident at a very early age. He was able to lead and inspire "the pack" on his projects and with his ideas. One of these projects was the "WW2 War Movie" which was conceived and directed By him. I'll never forget the screening (set up by Reg) when a soldier was floating down the river, face down past the camera, with a happy face t-shirt on. We all had a good laugh. A few years ago on a visit back to Brantford at Chrismas, I decided to look Tim up. Im sure Glad I did. Ever a gracious host, Tim welcomed me with opened arms and a beer. We had a chance to catch up and visit and reminisce about our childhood days in the "hood". Its difficult to lose a peer of mine, especially at such a young age. It surely puts things into perspective. If there is anything to be learned from this, a message Tim might have approved, it is this. "Life is a journey not a destination. Live each day with laughter and joy!" Rest in Peace TCL!

Due to an illness of my own I regret I was not able to attend Tim's memorial and I wish to send you my most sincere condolence's will always remember Tim as a great friend and I will miss his personalized christmas cards take care Dave(Bubba)Young

I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you and your family. What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget. May the love of those around you help you through the days ahead. sincerely deborah fontaine

Dear Lewis Family, because i think it is important to be remembered in some way i felt a need to offer my condolences and best wishes for your healing at this time. Tim and I attended high school at the same time and i remember him very clearly, most recently i have seen him at the medical clinic I work at; never knowing he was as sick as he obviously was. Although we were never close friends and really just new each other in passing please know that i remember him on this day--Tracie Fitzsimmons

To the Lewis family I am very sorry for your loss. Tim was a character in life. His humour in his art work was amazing. We are lucky enough to have one of Tims sketches of my husband that was a gift for his 40th birthday He also hand drew our christmas cards and I display them every yr with my decorations. I will cherish them even more. RIP Tim Lewis gone too soon through your art you will always be remembered thank you. Our thoughts are with you Lewis Family. Sincerely Sherry and Jeff Radmore.

Tim was my good friend and co=worker at Rogers Cable TV, we were both TV Camera operators and I really enjoyed working with Tim! He was a pleasure to work with, he will be sadly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him. Tim, God Bless your wonderful soul! We miss you my brother!

I would like to say how sorry I am for the loss of your Brother and son Timothy. Tim and I have been friends for many many years and he brought love, happiness and friendship to me. We laughed, cried,screamed and joked. We spent many hours sitting on the floor with legs crossed talking about people and places. Tim never did make it out here to the Island, Victoria B.C. but I know that with each passing day Tim will forever be sitting beside me on the floor with legs crossed and that handsome smile shinning on. With much love I send you my condolance and know that Tim will always be in my heart forever. Sincerely, Ann Batchelor ( Ann Johnston)

Say around 1979 Paul,Tim &Reg They started out at Moon River with backpacks,tent & a zebra stiped canoe.Headin down the river til Flat Rock Falls.Which becomes Go Home Bay.They shared a few pints played with the coons & played some chess.Reg was a great chess player.The boys were still learning.The next day while fishing Paul decided to rig up a stick with a hook & caught a fish:)They were gone about for 5 days and had a blast.Good Times.Good Times:)

Okay, Who out there, remembers Tim's famous Sneakers in the dumpster FIND! Who ELSE was able to benefit from his ability to grab as many left sneakers as possible(one week) and then persistently scope out the dumpster until the right sneakers showed up-thus creating a matched set or slightly mismatched! His ability to capitalize on something cast off and recycle it to his friends and relatives showed him to be "GREEN" ahead of his time! What a guy! (put TCL in the subject line if emailing me)Love Jennifer

Tim, and his great friend, Warren, introduced me to the wonderful world of J.R.R. Tolkien. I will forever treasure the memories of long, insightful conversations about the books, and later, the movies. Tim had it incorporated into his daily life. (he & everyone else were hobbits; except for me, an Ent.) Now they're both gone, & I can only marvel at the wonder of having known them. "Well, here at last, dear friends," said Gandalf, "on the shores of the Sea comes the end of our fellowship in Middle-earth. Go in peace! I will not say: do not weep; for not all tears are an evil." Thanks, Tim.

Hello Georgie and family: I was so sorry to read about your loss. It took me back to the days at BCI night classes, when you would talk about your family and their accomplishments. I certainly remember you talking about Tim. I enjoyed the picture of him, he has a twinkle in his eye and looks like he had a great sense of humor. It's a sad loss for everyone, Dale Kelloway

I'm very sorry to hear of Tim's passing. He was my neighbor, and I always enjoyed talking to him. Very interesting, friendly guy, and I wish I'd had the chance to know him better. My condolences to his family.

We both worked with Tim in 2008 on the Classics In Concert Showcase, as he was our videographer and assisted with some of the production of the concert. Tim had a wonderful sense of humour and was very humble about his tremendous talents as an artist and computer genius. His gentle way of encouraging my young son, filled a room and the fact that he always remembered us and our names, was evident that he made sure that others mattered. His calm and laid back nature made him a wonderful person and a friend. He will be missed. Thanks so much Tim for everything!!!
