Tadgh mac Campbell (In Memorium)
Tadgh mac Campbell (Tim Walters) was more than a brother he was one of my best friends, and the world will be dimmer by his loss. I saw in my brother’s eyes the joy of battle as we stood beside each other during wars this year.
He was a dotting uncle to several members here in Gaeth Fionn, a founding member to this Canton, and although he was not known throughout the Empire, he will never be forgotten here.
Tim was always a shy person and really wasn't the outgoer...He was quiet, and rarely showed his emotions, but he was always there, in support of me and my strange hobby.
Two years later, Tim joined this hobby, and I truly know, he was the happiest I had seen in many, many years. It was in this group (Adria), that Tim really started to shine. Tim was my confidant with many of life’s tribulations, never saying much,just listening. He was a better man than I can hope to be.
I lost my best friend, my confidant, my brother, and my traveling partner, and most of all, the one who would always stand beside me, no matter the odds. When I was knighted, he was there. And I saw so much pride of me in his eyes. I was his "little" brother, and he always supported me. He watched my children without question when I had to work. He was always giving of himself.
I thank you all, for helping give my brother the joy he so richly deserved this last year,
Tim was a veteran of the US Marines and Montana National Guard.
God keep you and hold you close, for there will be a time when we shall be together again, wait for me brother, for I too will make the journey, and we shall stand aside each other once again.
Please raise a glass at Twelfth Night, or other events that toast in remembrance, and include a moment for my brother as one who left this mortal world before his exploits could be shared.
With Respect,
Eamonn mac Campbell (Anthony Walters)
