I haven’t heard from him in some time. Wanted to check and make sure he is safe and healthy. A true gentleman and an asset to FordBarn. Wayne

I sent him a message asking if all was well. Hopefully he is just taking a break…..

Thank you, that’s rather unusual. One of his close friends is a site administrator, possibly he could respond.

I think his last post was in March 2021.

Last I talked to Tim was in May 2021. He told me at that time he fell and broke his left hip, then 2 weeks later developed pneumonia. When we talked he had just got home from the hospital.

I have tried several times since then with no response. I hope he is OK.

McMimmcs · 11-05-2021, 07:01 PM

I just sent him an email to his home. Wait and see I guess. Wayne

Tell him he's not allowed to do that silly stuff any more.

I miss Purdy too! He has helped me with matters concerning Pertronix coils and Simmons carburetors. Anything he says about Model-A's I take as gospel.

Anybody nearby that can make contact with Tim or his family ? No answer received to my private email. Thanks Wayne

McMimmcs · 11-07-2021, 05:57 PM

One last time to the top. Wayne

McMimmcs · 11-08-2021, 07:40 AM

Can’t say we didn’t try. God bless you Purdy ( Tim ), from your many friends on the Barn. Wayne

I hope he's just taking a break and all is well.

Tim Stevens if my memory is working today!

I believe you are correct but I think it is spelled Stephens. Tim Stephens

McMimmcs · 11-10-2021, 06:24 PM

It is definitely Tim Stephens

Y-Blockhead · 11-13-2021, 03:44 PM

I emailed Tim 3 days ago. He always returned my emails in the past the same day. I can only assume the worst but I hope not.

I also sent him 3 emails in the last month all to no avail. I also sent messages to two of his Model A friends with no response. Does anyone know his town or city of residence in Alabama. Also if one of our technical experts can decipher anything from his email address I would be happy to confidentially share same. Somebody should know something. Thanks again, Wayne
