I look at what we achieve every day through the tools we have ten years after your passing, Timothy, and remember Chatalyst with a smile. You were so far ahead of your time. The Universe must have needed you somewhere else. I like to think you’re still dreaming up great things, my friend.

We are so sorry for your loss. I'm sure it is very hard to let us all share in your grief. We lost my Dad and Mom (Tim's Uncle and Aunt) the end of May and the end of July 2021. We had to sell their home of 62 years in October, they were married 68 years. There is no way to predict how hard grief can be and or when it will grab you, but just know that you are not alone. I have been doing a good deed in their names (and others) whenever I feel overwhelmed. It helps, and I vow to live my best life and continue to honor them. I'm sure your wife is smiling on you and proud of your willingness to continue to help on this site. Be well and do great things. Love, Nancy

Hello to all, My name is David Planchon and Rebecca Herald was my wife of 20 years. For those who knew Timothy during his Virginia Beach days, you may have also known Rebecca Herald. Timothy was Rebecca's first true love. Sadly, Rebecca passed away May 20th 2022.

Timothy played a major part of/in Rebecca's life, on too many levels to dive into here. He was and continues to be present in our home with various pieces of art he and Rebecca made.

I knew Timothy as well, albeit too briefly. I was quite fond of him. I remember one particular trip where he and I spent a very long evening at Kuba Kuba in Richmond toasting our common love for Rebecca.
I miss them both dearly.

It's been 8 years Timothy since you left for greener pastures. I trust you've shaken things up and squared things away pretty well by now on the other side. Godspeed and much love.

My most used Timothy-ism is, "When in doubt, don't." It has served me well for many, many years, reminding me to trust my inner voice, and if I don't hear it or sense it clearly, I then I w--a--i--t.
Thanks Timothy, your legacy is abundant.

Seven years! I was on a Teams call the other day and thought of Timothy's creation of Chatalyst all those years ago. He was so ahead of his time. I think it's time for some rhubarb pie and a minute in the windy fall day, watching for an eagle.

So glad you found me, Tim, after all those years! The wonders of Facebook. And it was so good to know that your spirit remained as buoyant as it was when you were a young man. Happy Earth Birthday! I will always be so fond of you...and the place you had in my life. I have to trust that Norway was the best choice. Remember the Iran hostage crisis and all of our blustering? hahaha. And I'll never forget "the boat" tour! And your plaid flannel shirt! We had so much fun!...Half Moon Bay...Mission...Gone far too soon for the rest of us! Love, Lanaya

"i still wake up and i'm livin'
i'm still lovin' and i'm givin'

i never thought that it would be this way
i never thought that i would have to say
Oh oh Oh oh i'll meet you on that other shore
was you that taught me how to live
was you that taught me how to give
was you that taught me how to love
now when i love it's you i'm thinkin' of
was you that got the best of me
now i'm searchin' for the rest of me
Oh oh Oh oh I'll meet you on that other shore

Timothy, "brother" as you would put it, you will be missed my friend. It is an honor to have known and worked with you. You will always be a part of this Bank of America Family.

I remember the conversations at coffee on Market Street where we fantasized about bombing Iran off the face of the earth. Ah, youth! Sneaking onto the "boat" docked in Alameda. Wow, all its gadgets...and the stairs were more like vertical ladders with railings! The laughter, the adventure, the vulnerability we shared! SO much fun and love I will remember Thank you for finding me XO

Some may think it strange that people can have a real, deep impact on each other based on a weekend involving a leopard print banana hammock and fourteen years of text based friendship-but, if you knew Timothy, you are not in the some. This guy-he always made me think, made me check myself, made me examine not as an order but because his nature made me want to be a better me. Much love...

Timothy- CFCT vs. CCVT that was the question. I recall you pinging me gently in communicator to explain the difference so the bridgeboard would reflect the correct group. Thanks Buddy!! You will definitely be missed from the Bank of America CCO Family. May God bring comfort to your family and friends. My condolences. God Bless.

As I look at all the comments they start "Timothy", I recall my first encounter on a bridgline, I went to ask a question; I said Tim and proceeded. I don't think I got the question out before you immediatly corrected me and I quote "Don't call me Tim, my name is Timothy". I never made that mistake again hahaha. But beneath that tough exterior you were a very nice guy! My condolences..

After so many years apart, you would think that we would not have much to say, but boy did we laugh and say it all.It felt as if you had never been gone, and it felt right to have my cousin back. The world just took a major hit when you physically left it. You will always be near us and you will always be loved and never forgotten. Shine Bright Cuz!

Timothy inspired by his own passion to be the best in all. Always a zest for life, thus this is hard to comprehend. He served our country years ago, thanked him for this often. I will always think of him when I eat a doughnut! God rest his soul.

You definitely lived life on your terms. I recall so many funny and weird moments. From the crackhead you brought to help dig out my pond, to our 2 month landscaping project that was supposed to be a weekend deal, we had some great moments! And although we rarely saw eye to eye, you made things very interesting and I could always count on you to make a bad situation worse…my friend and fellow Ming

Timothy - It was an absolute pleasure to work with you. To your loved ones... "Although it’s difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, may looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow." - Unknown

Timothy my friend, you touched a lot of people and hearts on your journey through the Bank of America. You assisted with so many issues, pointed people in the right direction in so many ways, and had their backs when they did not even know it.
I thank you for everything you've done for me whether I knew it or not.

Timothy, the depth of my sorrow is immense upon receiving the news of your passing. I will always remember your ability to remain so professional and friendly in the heat of battle on so many triage calls. I pray for your family to receive comfort during the days ahead. You will never be forgotten.
September 16, 2013

Timothy, you were a unique individual who left an impression on all you worked with. You were taken far too soon, may your passing be a reminder to us all to cherish each moment of each day. You will be missed!

I still don't believe it. But having worked with you, I know how you would have liked me to behave at this hour- You did a damn good job till date! Great guy, who called a spade a spade. Will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Ill miss you friend!

Timothy - I remember the very first time I met you - in a LotusNotes class. I was struck by your intelligence then and the more I knew you the more I appreciated you. Bridget O'Conner recently announced new enablers for our mission, one of which is "we are courageous." You embodied that more than anyone else I know as you always spoke up at work when you knew something to not be right.
September 16, 2013
September 16, 2013
My friend, I will miss most how easy it was to laugh with you. Your quick wit and self-effacing manner belied a huge personality with so much to say and share. You always said life was too short not to enjoy it. I admire how well you lived that each day. As the other “Timothy” in the office, I will miss the simple confusion our name caused. What’s left to say...Farewell my friend.
September 16, 2013
September 16, 2013
Timothy, you will be missed dearly. I can still hear your voice asking me about a change or system issue. You were truely a unique man and I appreciated that. You will be in my prayers!

September 16, 2013
Ah my friend you have passed to soon. The world will be a sadder place without your talent with brush, pen and spoken word coming into it every day. I will miss you now and foreve until we happen to meet again. May your new journey be sweeter than this last, and your memory help those left behind to be strong and carry on without our dear friend.

Timothy, so many memories. I'm so very glad you got a chance to get back over to Asia. I’m struggling here bud, after listening to your gruff voice every morning for 5 years I’m not sure how to start another day without hearing it. We all loved you Timothy, I hope your friends and family know just how much. Godspeed my friend and may you have all the doughnuts your heart desires.

Honestly I didn't know Timothy as well as I should have.  Most of our chats were brief moments between changing shifts discussing little known movies with cult followings or other random musings.  The one thing that always stood about Timothy is that he didn't mince words or beat around the bush.  You know where he stood on things.  Straight shooter.  I was really saddened to hear of his passing and I think bothered that I didn't know you better.  Fare thee well Timothy.

Rhubarb is Forever Changed for the Better

September 18, 2013

Timothy always made it a point to leave his mark on everything he did. He did it with his artwork changing the way I view simple shapes and juxtapose color. He did it when I helped him renovated houses, redesigning rooms uniquely Timothy. He used media that was not common to the application and it always turned out brilliantly. With his landscaping projects he found ways to turn water, wood, earth and ordinary items into exceptional areas. A space that would spark my imagination, a space that would make me think, a place to ponder and wonder what could be accomplished if I apply myself.

I will miss you Timothy but I will never forget you. You have forever altered the way I look at and enjoy rhubarb. I did not grow up eating rhubarb. I could not have told you what it was or even if it was a food. It was not until I met my wife and her family 20 years ago. They turned me onto rhubarb and I have enjoyed it immensely ever since. I now walk out my front door and gaze upon my wife’s rhubarb plants and I smile. You are perpetually engrained in my mind. When I see or smell or have the luxury of enjoying rhubarb I will think of you I will smile and reflect on the times we enjoyed together.

You will be forever missed but never forgotten. Take care friend.

Here's to the next life

September 16, 2013

I remember meeting you, Timothy, in 2010; three days locked in a conference room at the Command Center with Kipp Brooks and Lavont Avent and a host of other high-energy personalities; after all, you have to be high-energy to thrive in that environment.  I was a little confounded, not knowing how we might have known one another, when we had clearly never met, at least not in this life.  Indeed, it was a co-creator’s spark; that serendipity that sometimes happens, the picking up of a conversation that seemed to have been left off in another life.  You are an old soul, my friend, one who savored life, and I have visions of you sitting on a cloud, wishing for us that we would all know that life doesn't end, it just changes shape sometimes.  When I read Pam’s story, I chuckled, for you indeed are smiling at us, from an airplane, an eagle – and from a story of rhubarb pie.  Your shoes are so big that no one will fill them, and that’s how we will remember you.  We will eat rhubarb pie on the 7th day at the 7th hour – there’s already an appointment on the calendar – and I will look forward to meeting you again in the next life.  Namaste.  Be with God.
