Gene Hackman's character in Heist says "I tried to imagine a a fella smarter than myself. Then I tried to think 'What would he do?'"
For me, Tim Peters was that guy. I first met Tim in person at the first PyCon at GWU where I rode an elevator with him and Barry Warsaw. Let me tell you, it was a wild ride. He was a genuinely really nice, smart, kind guy.
RIP my friend.
