I talked to Tim's wife this morning, it is confirmed he did die in his sleep on the morning of the 3rd. I made parts for a few of his projects including the cockpit parts for this B-17 project, he was very appreciative and always went over the top thanking me. We were also building a 1/6 Royal Corsair together, it's just hard to believe. He had no health problems and they could not find a cause of death in the autopsy, he was only 47 years old.

Impressions of a Pilot
Gary Claude Stoker
Flight is freedom in its purest form,
To dance with the clouds which follow a storm;
To roll and glide, to wheel and spin,
To feel the joy that swells within.
To leave the earth with its troubles and fly,
And know the warmth of a clear spring sky;
Then back to earth at the end of the day,
Released from the tensions which melted away.
Should my end come while I am in flight,
Whether brightest day or darkest night;
Spare me no pity and shrug off the pain,
Secure in the knowledge that I'd do it again.
For each of us is created to die,
And within me I know,
I was born to fly.
