Fire Without Matches
by Eric Mead — 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

Tim Teaches Jim to Read
by Rosie (Conover) Furois — 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

Tim on 9/11
by Eric Mead — 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

Memorial Talk – Jim Henderson
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.

Memorial Talk – Bob Jansen
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.

Memorial Talk – Andy O’Shea
Shari, Mike and the whole Conover family, thank you for allowing me the honor to speak here today.

Memorial Talk – Patrick Kelly
