Meg Richtman, a friend of the family

I have had the great honor and pleasure of working for/with Tim for the past 8 years, but we shared a friendship for more than 12 years. I first met Tim as an undergraduate student on campus when I worked in the admission office. His office was within our department and I would see him walking around talking on his headset (at that time headsets were the new, cool thing out there) and I was instantly impressed and thought I hope someday I am just like him! He took me under his wing as a mentor and friend and when he took over as VP for University Relations, brought me back to our alma mater and hired me as part of his staff - of which I am truly grateful for. He taught me the importance of balance in your life and giving to others. He also had this knack of knowing immediately what you were thinking - it was actually scary at times - I swear he knew me better than I knew myself! When my own father passed away four years ago, Tim, without knowing, became a second father to me. I just wish now that I told him that. As there is an obvious void felt around campus, Tim's spirit will always remain in the hearts of all of us who were lucky enough to have known such a man of great dignity, compassion, honesty and ethics! May he rest in peace.
