I met Tim through business, he was not shining, he was glowing. I discovered soon enough that my first impression was the right one. 
He was the only one that reassured me in this tough industry where nothing seems stable and genuine friendship is hard to find as everyone is « a friend. » Tim was this genuine one. The one you do not see often but makes your day, the one that will speak from his heart with honesty and would be careful not to hurt your feelings. 
I introduced him to the Buenos Aires film market and I was waiting for this event to share good times with him every year. He always supported me and I tried to support him. His voice and advice were very reassuring and you always felt better after spending time with him.
He left us too soon and my heart goes to his partner Juan and loved ones.
I will cherish his memory ❤️
