Some details but they don't mention a name yet:

Man's body found at pond in Weekapaug | WPRI.com

Just confirmed from a mutual friend - I'm crushed...

I have heard someone saying it was Tim but also, article and radio reported 65 and 61 YOA respectively. I believe Tim is a little older. No news at this point. Thoughts & Prayers to whoever it is.

I would also ask that we not speculate so family can be notified.

Yep. Still in shock here. Don't even know what to say.

Heard and out of respect for those close to him I kept it quiet..... Sorry you found out this way.....

Confirmed? Didn't see your post Dennis. This is tough.

Saddened. He fished alone a lot.

UGH - WHAT. A HUGE LOSS - He was a good friend to many. Tragic and sad.

This is very sad news for me. I always enjoyed Tim's fishing articles over the years. RIP Tim atleast you were doing what you loved when it happened.

WOW!!?! I'm shocked...... thats horrible for his friends and family.

thoughts and prayers to all those who knew him

Wow I'm shocked, this is tragic Thoughts and Prayers to all

Really terrible news. We had Tim at a CSA meeting recently and he looked like a happy, healthy guy, doing what he wanted to be doing. I did not know him, but I was a fan of his writing and work. He was one of the sport's iconic people. We will all miss him and his contributions to surf casting.

Having good thoughts for his family and those who loved him. I know this must be awful for Pat and Dennis and Dr. Bush and the others he shared those early Block Island experiences with. My sympathy and condolences to you all

Such a great loss.

Surfcaster's Journal has it being Tim on Facebook, too.

Just another reminder to ALWAYS put safety first. If this could happen to Tim, it could happen to any of us.

wow- sad news. Condolences to all his friends here. I never knew him, but learned lots by reading all his great articles and books back in the 80s and 90s.

Im very sad to hear this. I have enjoyed reading his stuff for such a long time. When i first started surfcasting i always sought out his articles in the fisherman and OTW. This is another loss to the surfcasting community. Rest in peace.

Sad news, great writer and fisherman. My condolences to his family and friends. RIP Tim

he knew that stretch of water better than anybody...like Mike P said, it could happen to anybody. Terrible news. R.I.P.

Do we know it was an accident? Or natural causes?

Speechless....rip tc

Another Huge loss RIP

Shocked and saddened, and scared. Heard him speak at CT Surfcasters just a few weeks ago, hunted his articles as only been fishing the salt 2 years...great info, inspirational. I fish alone some as well. Was found on the sand trail, so likely heart issues or stroke? Prayers to all who knew him....

Sad news for sure, just finished re-reading one of his books.

Sorry for loss, I know he was friends to many people on the site.

The news report said he was on the path, not to many details as of yet

This sucks. I'd run into him almost every year on the west wall in early May.The longer I'm in this game the more that are gone.I'm sad for his family.
