"He had a good sense of
humor; he's always been fun to have a class with,"
David Baldwin (friend of
Temple and his good
friend, Emily Grossell, at a Halloween party a few
hours before he was hit by the car.
"Last year he was not
enrolled in Music 43 but attended some of the classes because of he really like
music and he was interested in the class."
Emily Grossell
(
"Friends and family of a
UNC junior killed Sunday described him as an avid reader who loved music as
much as he loved life. "
I think about Temp every Halloween, as I also often do throughout the year. I have to admit, even though
we have pictures of Temp, seeing this site has me choked up.
He always looks younger in pictures than I remember him to be in my mind.
He's one of the few people that I really looked forward to knowing for a long time.
I remember after the funeral Jay (Temple's brother) told me that this (Temp's death) is a travesty.
Your right, it is. I feel like the entire human race lost out that day.
Temple was really markedly different than so many other people I have met before.
He was special. I've known several friends and family members to die since Ive been alive,
but his is one of the few that still hurt if I think about it too long. All I can do is be
glad that I knew him the time that I did, and hold on to the great memories and the few
tidbits of knowledge that I gained from his friendship. (Including a heightened appreciation
for the stones :)
