Condolences to his family, Loch and his Loch-army will be missed!
I don't think I realized that his name was Tim until this first post... Loch was always Loch, no other name was necessary. Now that I know that, I'll picture him as the wily old wizard from Monty Python. Some would call him... Tim? *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM*

I think this is him. I remember he lived up here by me.

So I debated posting this earlier, but didn't. As many on this site know I went through some really tough health issues and times back in mid 2005 - early 2009. Many on this site helped me in many ways during that time. Loch was one of those people, and he helped me more than I think anyone knows.
I needed help, and didn't know how to directly ask, so I hinted around a bit one day via posts and some things said in guild chat. Suddenly I've got a PM, it was Loch giving me his phone number, he picked up on my hints. That was the day I stopped heading downwards and started climbing upwards again and it was in large part because of that PM. We talked in PM's and on teamspeak numerous times, but I never told him exactly how much he helped that day. I think he knew though.
Others helped me just as profoundly at different times and in different ways, but that was a small moment that changed my world. There are other moments I shared with him that may not have been as profound, but were certainly wonderful.
I changed my handle on this site from Gnollguy to my actual first name to dissociate myself from some of the memories of those dark years for me. Loch's help is not one of those memories. Those moments are ones I'm proud to carry.
So I'll raise a flask of Lochwater one last time for a great man who did me a great service. I literally wouldn't be the man I am today if it hadn't been for him.

Great poster. You will be missed.

I can't say I knew him very well, but it's always sad when we lose a contributing member of our forums, and it sounds like he had a lot of friends and respect on these boards. My condolences to his family and loved ones.

So sad to hear this. Tales of Lochnar's patented Lochnarmy are some of my fond memories from my WoW-playing days. Good times and a good man.
He will be missed. Prayers for his family.

This is so sad. I couldn't believe it when I saw this post a few weeks ago and was distraught for days. Somehow I expected Loch to always be there. The Lurker community is resilient, but not eternal. I love you all!
