Duner Down - RIP - Tim Walling AKA Bagman

[1slomofo]

RIP to a long time duner and friend. 

Some of your camped with him in Wash 2 - I had known him and been camping with him for 14 years. He was previously (before the crash) known on GD.com as BAGMAN

Tim passed away sometime in late June 2021 alone in his house in Norco, CA - In October/November 2020 he had been having some health problems and he let it progress too far while refusing help. He pushed all of us friends away. It was a difficult and confusing time. He was a proud man,  super smart, and had some amazing moments. Our little group is left sad and confused. He left us without anyone knowing which feels wrong - so I just wanted to say something.

I will miss my friend.

Holy crap! I've always liked him and his posts! I've camped with him and talked to him a lot a long time ago.

Tim, you will be missed! What a big loss to all of his friends. RIP.

RIP Timmy (never knew you as Bagman).

A few years back when the wife and I were first getting into coming to Glamis and looking for a group to camp and learn to dune with, Tim's group invited us in with open arms. Tim led us on our first rides to and basically taught us how to do it.

Me and Jackie miss you bud.

Here are few pics from this past season (and I really need to up my picture taking game).
