The obituary notice of Tim JUSTICE

To Dad, I’m sorry I’m late but I have a toddler now so I’m sure you can understand. I recorded a podcast last week talking about grief and loss. Even 21yrs later, I still cry when I talk about you leaving. I often say, if only you’d held on a couple of years more, the whole world opened up. On an iPod you can have thousands of tunes at your finger tips. FaceTime?! You’d have been YouTube famous so quickly. I try not to think about it too much as it’s torture. Wherever you are I hope it’s peaceful and there’s alot of music, the occasional pint, and sunshine. I hope me and Tom as children are there with you (the laws of physics don’t apply to paradise). I love you and miss you. You have no idea

I remember playing at the Louisiana with my friend Dan. Tim was sat by the door, and I was doing my best (with what I considered to be) an absolutely cracking acoustic solo. Tim stood up and walked to the stage and without a word he reached out to my guitar and turned my volume control all the way down to zero. And then sat back down. I died of embarrassment, even though there were only about 10 people watching! Later on as he was fiddling with a roll up, he said that he was sorry, but he was doing me a favour. He didnt want me to embarrass myself. I was a bit upset at the time. But it made me try and get better. Nowadays I have "Still in love" in my live set. And I like to think that Tim can hear me and absolutely hates it 😀

Thought of you all day yesterday, little bro’. Will miss you ‘til we meet again…lots of love, Sue😢

I remember dear Tim from the 70’s. A regular at The White Lion on Frenchay Common. Playing his guitar at the Queens silver jubilee 1977 on that common. All very drunk. Our birthdays were only 2 days apart and I seem to remember a joint birthday booze up! I was a student nurse and Tim was popular with all the doctors in the mess. I have very fond memories of him. I was very sad to find out he’d gone from us and only knew because I googled him.
Tim and I had a lot in common. I will think of him very fondly.
Hilary.
