In Memory of Our Friend, Churchmouse....

[yetti462]

I met Tim at patience 830 place. I was in a hurry ant CM asked if I wanted to shoot one of his 1911's. Being in a hurry I declined the offer and headed home. Regret that.

We did talk on here about 1911's. I was on a kick and he quickly replied to all my questions.

He will be missed by all

Anyone know how to get hold of Rino?

Im sure somebody told him.

A good reminder. If you know of folks who dont frequent INGO (anymore), might want to reach out.

I there a way members here can donate and/or volunteer to help setup, serve and clean up? (Sorry if it’s already been mentioned and I missed it).

Churchmouses Memorial get together.

I'm starting this thread as there will be some more info to come. But I'm locking it until that time. What we know now. Sunday, Sept 25th at the Lions Club in Clermont, IN Noon to 6:00 pm (12:00-18:00) Churchmouses' daughter will be organizing this. She has an account here and will be posting...

Once it opens up, I'm sure there will be opportunities to do all of what you mentioned.

Saw that James Yeager passed too.

Makes one wonder why God is taking the gun guys right now.

Another LT6 member.
My guess is CM is showing Yeager just why the 1911 is the best pistol made

R.I.P. Tim...may you be free of your physical ailments and find peace!
Churchmouse and I had several PM conversations regarding his physical condition(s), the various issues of life, and his faith, which he often wrestled with, but had!
But, keep in mind that we're actually instructed to 'wrestle' with our faith and, in Philippians 2:12b we're to "Work hard to show the results of your salvation, obeying God with deep reverence and fear." (in other translations, the words, 'with fear and trembling' are used!) We 'wrestle' with our faith as it constantly challenges us as we learn and grow and, as a result of our struggle (wrestle), we grow deeper and stronger and become 'rooted' in our faith!
Tim, you will be deeply missed sir...may you go with God-speed and be God-blessed!

Just saw this now, havent been on much this week.

I never had the pleasure to meet CM, only a couple PMs exchanged over the years. My prayers to you here who knew him well and to his family. He will be missed for sure. Godspeed CM.

If you interacted with him on INGO, then you knew him, at least a little. He was the real deal and was the same in person as he was here on the forum.

I’d say that if you interacted with INGO at all, you benefited from Tim’s presence. The flavor of INGO is what it is in part to Tim’s personality. He and the other mods have kept INGO a step above other gun forums. Tim was strong on building community and it shows here on INGO

Completely agree! Condolences to the family.

Words matter, his did. Rest In Peace

Rest in peace my friend

I'm thinking an annual cheeseburger summit in honor of CM would be a good way to bring together INGO members. He was a truely epic mod with a huge impact on INGO.

It would need one rule for the food. No pineapple on pizza!

FIFY.

Reading this news is tough. Tim was larger than life - and his life size was pretty large. You were part of the glue that keeps this site together. You somehow managed to make a multitude of people feel welcome and special. He certainly did it with me through private messages if I was absent for some time.

You are one of the greats, sir. You have my eternal respect and gratitude for giving so much to so many. Godspeed, my friend.

Tim. The first INGOer I ever met, the first INGOer, I ever made a face to face transaction with from the classifieds. The first INGOer I apologized to. For the longest time to me. Chuchmose was the face of INGO as I watched the two faces in his Avatar grow up.

I have a .243 now with some added sentimental value.

The life of a Christian is to be one of constant prayer for our salvation and the salvation of others. When an item brings a memory, it should evoke a prayer for the person remembered.

O God of spirits and of all flesh, Who hast trampled down death and overthrown the Devil, and given life to Thy world, do Thou, the same Lord, give rest to the soul of Thy departed servant Tim in a place of brightness, a place of refreshment, a place of repose, where all sickness, sighing, and sorrow have fled away. Pardon every transgression which he has committed, whether by word or deed or thought. For Thou art a good God and lovest mankind; because there is no man who lives yet does not sin, for Thou only art without sin, Thy righteousness is to all eternity, and Thy word is truth.

For Thou are the Resurrection, the Life, and the Repose of Thy servants who have fallen asleep, O Christ our God, and unto Thee we ascribe glory, together with Thy Father, who is from everlasting, and Thine all-holy, good, and life-creating Spirit, now and ever unto ages of ages. Amen.

He was actually a fan of pineapple on pizza.

See, even great men have a flaw.

GMan informed me of Tim's passing on Wednesday late night...for a reason. He told me if there was anything I needed to just let him know. My response was "wake me up from this nightmare please". We were sharing the same nightmare...

I can't find the words right now that can express properly how I feel. Maybe sometime soon I will. This much I will say. He IS the honest best in all of us. Tim IS truly my spiritual brother, closer then blood family. I love you Tim, and always will.

Cindy and family if you need anything at all "you know my digits" as the Mouse would say. I love you all too.

 

[nonobaddog]

CM was a genuine pillar, in INGO and out.
Rest in Peace.


This race may be over but by any measure, Tim was a winner!

INGO will never be the same without CM, but we’re starting to hit our stride again.
