Heaven just got that much better…
My very good friend, Tim Switala, passed away on Friday of a heart attack. I had just talked to him the day before and still can’t believe it.
Most recently, Tim has been managing David Kane’s projects and was also the producer of the Shredd & Ragan show a short while back.
Tim was an extremely creative, smart and funny man and I always loved talking to him for hours on the phone as he told me stories about the music scene here in WNY from the 70’s and 80s. His overall knowledge of music always astounded me and he definitely was bent on the more obscure artists of the last 50 years…which always made talking to him like listening to Dennis Miller talk about politics.
I am going to miss him very much and it is with heavy heart that I pass along this information to you from his wife Rebecca…
