Long time contributor passed away

I don't know if it's my place to say or not, but I thought I'd pass along that long time contributor Tim Shultz passed away a few days ago. I don't have much more information than that at this time.

Tim used a lot of different aliases on this board, very rarely going by Tim. But if you've been here a while you've no doubt engaged in many of the spirited threads that he started. He'll be missed.

Tim was a really nice and genuine person.
I followed his postings here for several years. Our paths crossed in Seattle one day, he spent 4 hours showing me his shop and talking shop. We kept in touch via phone and email over the last 4 years, he was a good friend and he will be missed.

Also sorry to hear of Tim’s passing. We go way back. We were trading ideas on cabinet making in the late 90s early 2000s. Not so much after we moved into doors and windows.
I tried to find a obituary but no luck.

Tim was one of. My best friends. I've known him for 30+ years. He built my 1st kitchen, then I built many cabinets in his shop over the years he was very talented in his craft and extremely generous. I talked to him a day and a half before he passed, which I'm grateful for and saddened too. I knew about all the discussions on woodweb over the years and was just going to post about him today. Glad to see someone beat me to it.
He will be missed.
A side note to all the woodworkers, the shop is available for sale at a very fair price with decent lease.. otherwise it will get pieced out and closed which would be a shame. His kids dont work in the company and aren't capable of continuing. I am just trying to help Tim's kids. In Seattle. Send note to reedwright01@gmail if interest.
I feel a little odd noting about the shop when really I just want to mourn. But business Carrie's on as do expenses for them.
Sincerely
Tum Smith

I'd like to share a little bit about my friendship with Tim. I actually never met Tim in person, but we talked for many hours on the phone over the last 20 years. So I suppose I knew Tim about as well as you can know someone without having met them. 20 years ago, this forum was in it's prime. A bunch of contributors who no longer frequent this site were having deep and lengthy discussions on topics such as manufacturing philosophy, software, CNC technology, etc. Tim of course was a part of that, and he and I talked at length outside of this forum about those same topics. Some of you who were around then will recall that Tim was a huge advocate of Lean manufacturing. I was (and still am) an advocate for TOC, and so we spent many hours debating the 2 philosophies. But the topic that Tim and I discussed the most was his direction towards a retail market vs. my direction towards a wholesale market. Basically, Tim wanted nothing to do with architect's and general contractors, and I want nothing to do with homeowners. Of course, we are both forced to deal with all three in our daily business, but it was an interesting topic to discuss. It was an ongoing conversation and an ongoing experiment, his philosophy vs. mine, and I'm sad that it has ended. I'm sad for Tim's family, I'm sad for his employees and I'm sad for this industry. I will miss him.

I am not sure if I have conversed with him here and cannot say I knew him personally but I have been reading and posting in here for quite awhile now. I would be surprised if our paths have not crossed in postings. I am very sorry to hear of his passing, from all accounts he sounds like he was a fantastic fellow. I value everyone in here who willingly contributes information and ideas about woodworking and CNC, CAD CAM etc etc. This is a valuable resource for many including myself and it is a big loss when one of the more frequent contributors leaves us. I pray for the family and for the business to survive if that is what the family wishes for it. I know he will be missed. Good luck and God bless....

    FORUM GUIDELINES: Please review the guidelines below before posting at WOODWEB's Interactive Message Boards (return to top)

  • WOODWEB is a professional industrial woodworking site. Hobbyist and homeowner woodworking questions are inappropriate.
  • Messages should be kept reasonably short and on topic, relating to the focus of the forum. Responses should relate to the original question.
  • A valid email return address must be included with each message.
  • Advertising is inappropriate. The only exceptions are the Classified Ads Exchange, Machinery Exchange, Lumber Exchange, and Job Opportunities and Services Exchange. When posting listings in these areas, review the posting instructions carefully.
  • Subject lines may be edited for length and clarity.
  • "Cross posting" is not permitted. Choose the best forum for your question, and post your question at one forum only.
  • Messages requesting private responses will be removed - Forums are designed to provide information and assistance for all of our visitors. Private response requests are appropriate at WOODWEB's Exchanges and Job Opportunities and Services.
  • Messages that accuse businesses or individuals of alleged negative actions or behavior are inappropriate since WOODWEB is unable to verify or substantiate the claims.
  • Posts with the intent of soliciting answers to surveys are not appropriate. Contact WOODWEB for more information on initiating a survey.
  • Excessive forum participation by an individual upsets the balance of a healthy forum atmosphere. Individuals who excessively post responses containing marginal content will be considered repeat forum abusers.
  • Responses that initiate or support inappropriate and off-topic discussion of general politics detract from the professional woodworking focus of WOODWEB, and will be removed.
  • Participants are encouraged to use their real name when posting. Intentionally using another persons name is prohibited, and posts of this nature will be removed at WOODWEB's discretion.
  • Comments, questions, or criticisms regarding Forum policies should be directed to WOODWEB's Systems Administrator
    (return to top).

    Carefully review your message before clicking on the "Send Message" button - you will not be able to revise the message once it has been sent.

    You will be notified of responses to the message(s) you posted via email. Be sure to enter your email address correctly.

    WOODWEB's forums are a highly regarded resource for professional woodworkers. Messages and responses that are crafted in a professional and civil manner strengthen this resource. Messages that do not reflect a professional tone reduce the value of our forums.

    Messages are inappropriate when their content: is deemed libelous in nature or is based on rumor, fails to meet basic standards of decorum, contains blatant advertising or inappropriate emphasis on self promotion (return to top).

    Libel:   Posts which defame an individual or organization, or employ a tone which can be viewed as malicious in nature. Words, pictures, or cartoons which expose a person or organization to public hatred, shame, disgrace, or ridicule, or induce an ill opinion of a person or organization, are libelous.

    Improper Decorum:   Posts which are profane, inciting, disrespectful or uncivil in tone, or maliciously worded. This also includes the venting of unsubstantiated opinions. Such messages do little to illuminate a given topic, and often have the opposite effect. Constructive criticism is acceptable (return to top).

    Advertising:   The purpose of WOODWEB Forums is to provide answers, not an advertising venue. Companies participating in a Forum discussion should provide specific answers to posted questions. WOODWEB suggests that businesses include an appropriately crafted signature in order to identify their company. A well meaning post that seems to be on-topic but contains a product reference may do your business more harm than good in the Forum environment. Forum users may perceive your references to specific products as unsolicited advertising (spam) and consciously avoid your web site or services. A well-crafted signature is an appropriate way to advertise your services that will not offend potential customers. Signatures should be limited to 4-6 lines, and may contain information that identifies the type of business you're in, your URL and email address (return to top).

    Repeated Forum Abuse: Forum participants who repeatedly fail to follow WOODWEB's Forum Guidelines may encounter difficulty when attempting to post messages.

    There are often situations when the original message asks for opinions: "What is the best widget for my type of shop?". To a certain extent, the person posting the message is responsible for including specific questions within the message. An open ended question (like the one above) invites responses that may read as sales pitches. WOODWEB suggests that companies responding to such a question provide detailed and substantive replies rather than responses that read as a one-sided product promotion. It has been WOODWEB's experience that substantive responses are held in higher regard by our readers (return to top).

    The staff of WOODWEB assume no responsibility for the accuracy, content, or outcome of any posting transmitted at WOODWEB's Message Boards. Participants should undertake the use of machinery, materials and methods discussed at WOODWEB's Message Boards after considerate evaluation, and at their own risk. WOODWEB reserves the right to delete any messages it deems inappropriate. (return to top)
