My
friend and GM level checker player Tim Laverty informed me late this evening,
August 26th he just arrived home from Duke University Hospital after undergoing
a quadruple bypass. He was immediately admitted August 19th by his doctor
after a visit regarding severe chest pain and extremely high blood pressure. I
ask him to accompany me to PA Ty and we were planning to attend but dates
changed and I want to play the Mid-Ohio so Tim said he would make the Carlisle
drive but didn’t feel up to the Fredericksburg, OH trip, so I talked Gayle into
going and taking a vacation to Niagara Falls afterwards. We leave on the 14th on a slow trip to Fredericksburg and I didn’t have any more
contact with Tim. We had worked out the details on the upcoming 11-Man WTM to be
held October 5th – 11th. I’ve been calling him every day since the 20th because
we had scheduled something he was supposed to help me move some furniture. Gayle
and I arrived in Greensboro late Thursday night, August 23rd so I could
participate in the Saturday Cedarock Festival. I called Tim several more times
during the festival. This explains why I couldn’t make contact. He told me he is
resting at home and taking medication. The 11-Man WTM is doubtful at this time.
Tim is 58 years old.
