We spent some time together in Kona Hawaii many years ago. At dinner one night Tim couldn’t stop talking about wilderness survival. (You know how it was whenever Tim got interested in something. He would fixate on it and soon know more about it than any expert.) No matter where the conversation went, Tim kept […]
As Tim’s mom, I have so many wonderful memories of him that would fill this website, but I want to share one example of how much Tim loved other people and just how much he gave of himself to others. I remember Tim getting off the plane in Ontario, California after flying cross-country from his […]
Last night I performed a show in Lexington KY for a group of scientists. It was the final show on my calendar that was a referral from Tim. I knew they had tried to book Tim, had booked him before, and he had talked them into hiring me for the gig in his place. I […]
Mom, Happy 70th Birthday. (2003) There are so many millions of little moments that you have shared with us. You have taught us, protected us, nurtured us, fed us, bathed us, cleaned our house, cleaned all our laundry, ironed all our clothes, and helped us to grow to be ourselves. Through thick and thin, you […]
I am honored to be here today to memorialize my dear friend, my brother, Tim. The amazing outpouring of love is obvious and overwhelming – truly Tim touched hundreds, if not thousands, of lives. For me and for my family, all of the Conovers are our family. We have known them all our entire lives, […]
The Story of Undying Friendship by Jim Henderson, Bob Jansen, Pat Kelly, Andy O’Shea It is amazing that the friendships we cultivate in our youth require so little sustenance throughout our lives. Brief encounters as we separately wind our way through life serve as periodic reminders of our earlier days together and the incredible strength […]
Regretfully I am unable to be with you all this evening to collectively honor and remember my good friend, Tim, and I sincerely appreciate his family allowing us to share our memories of him. Tim was an extraordinary young man. We attended the same schools from elementary to high school. I think our first class […]
I first met Tim Conover in the fall of 1969 when the neighborhood we lived in organized their first football team. We were both 10. Over the next several years I was fortunate to form a great friendship with Tim and of course 3 others. We called ourselves the Fearsome Five. We did everything together. […]
Shari, Mike and the whole Conover family, thank you for allowing me the honor to speak here today. I am fortunate to have not only known Tim, but to be a friend of his, elementary and middle school classmate and little league football teammate. It was a friendship forged in childhood that was cemented by […]
I’ve always appreciated the irony of our name, the Fearsome Five—four of us, at least, were anything but fearsome. In what was supposed to be our fiercest and most rebellious moment, our coming of age, we hatched a plot to egg the 8th grade math teacher house– Mr. Candelori’s house. As we boldly ventured out […]
