I am devastated to learn of Tim’s death, and not a little ashamed that I had lost touch with him during The Pandemic. 
Tim was many things to many people: most of them zany and hilarious; some of them uncomfortably honest and caring; none of them selfish or mean-spirited.
I wrote about him in a personal essay that was published back in 2017.  He did not want his name disclosed at the time, so he was referred to as “The Ace.” Of course, there was the photo that I used for the piece, taken from the time he impersonated a bowling trophy and damn near died because he was wrapped head-to-toe in aluminum foil (try something like that in central Florida . . .see how far you get) and stayed motionless for hours, totally silent and still, an Irish potato baking without an oven. 
Sorry, Tim–I’m gonna rat you out, now.
On 08/06/1981, Tim was one of five members of the “Ida Lupino
Liberation Organization”  who took over central Florida’s largest FM station, WDIZ Rock 100 Orlando. We did it without firing a shot or hurting anyone.  We didn’t get arrested. And the getaway car was Tim’s POS Plymouth Fire Arrow.  Unforgettable.  As was Tim, and ever will he be.
I don’t know exactly how he died, but I can guess. His heart was always made of butter, which he gave freely to the lonely and dispirited and downtrodden every chance he got. By the time he reached his 60’s, I’ll bet he didn’t have any heart left to keep for himself. 
Goodbye, Boylan. You’d be proud to know we are still laughing . . . through the tears.

Pardon these late condolences; I learned of Tim’s passing only today.Tim was a loyal and true friend who would go to any length–and I mean ANY–to make us smile or laugh. Those who knew him during our Florida days together know this well about him. May his soul rest in peace!

My deepest sympathy to family and friends.  Wheezie and I became friends a long time.  From the concerts we attended together to the band we had together t0 play the Toll House and.Creekside cafe in Mount Joy to just hanging out and playing guitar together.  Thanks for our visits when you and Big Brother Dan came.to Orlando and Tampa area and the time I got to see your sister Betty’s cool aquarium in Sarasota.  Our debates on Stones vs Beatles.  The last FSU vs Miami game i got to watch with you and Big Dan 2019.

09 27 2023.I just now found out about Tim’s passing.I had not seen Tim for a few months, nor had I heard from him.Tim would forward my messages from Sir Cousin Chip. I haden’t gotten one of those for a while, so I did a name serch on Google.I have missed Mick for decades, and their brother Dan since his passing in 2019.I had a yearly tradition of visiting them all that goes back to the late 80’s when Mick would dress as Santa Clause and wave to passerby on Columbia Avenue on Thanksgiving day.We would listen to Alice’s Resturante by Arlo Guthrie and have grilled cheese and beer.Their ‘Stinko-face’ parties were legendary and man could the boys ever put together a bus trip to a concert.Tim, I am gonna miss your unique outlook on life, your guitar playing, and your direct honesty.You may be able to get anything you want at Alice’s Resturante, but I will never be able to get another grilled cheese that is gonna taste as good.Thanksgiving will never be the same.

I was deeply saddened to learn of Tim’s passing. I have known Tim for over 30 years and I have always considered him a loyal and devoted friend. Tim would often  say thinks that would make me shake my head and laugh out loud, although he was mostly always spot on! 
 
Tim was deeply connected to his friends, family, and Cousin Chip . May your wishes of good deeds, in his honor, live on for years to come. 
 
Love you, TAB- Until we meet again at next Stinko Face in the Sky
