A special thank you to my beautiful wife, Alina Aldobrando, who penned the words in this tribute and put my thoughts and emotions into something tangible to remember him by. Alina never had the opportunity to meet this great man, and wants to express it is important for younger generations to never miss an opportunity to spend time with the generations before them who hold irreplaceable wisdom.
It is emotional to draft these words here and reflect upon the various memories of times spent in the presence of this mans humble greatness. I will miss his signature greeting, "Hey buddy", his pipe, his knowledge of firearms and history...
It was an honor to know this man, to sit in his shop and watch him work or discuss various topics from current events to the flintlock era firearms. His passing is a tremendous loss to our community.
To our viewers, thank you for taking the time to view this and honor his memory. The next time you find yourself holding a flintlock or sitting around a campfire, please take a moment to reflect upon Tim and how much he contributed to preserving what we enjoy today.

Some men don't die, they don't pass away, they get carried eternally in our memories, and we recall them when we see the things they made, they don't die, they just leave us behind. and make us great full for the time we had. Whenever a bowl is fired up and the aroma of a Virginia is sent through the air, or a flint sparks a frizzen with perfect time. He is with us.
Thank you for making this tribute for my Uncle Tim. It is beautiful, as he was.
He was a genuine and wonderful man.
Rip Uncle Tim.
GREAT VIDEO of a GREAT MAN
Truly!
This was wonderful. He will be missed. Cherish that fine rifle of yours.
It was through posts by Denny on his old IG page that I learned of Mr. Mitchell. A true craftsman, and legend.
Thank you for making this tribute for my great uncle Tim.
Most welcome. He was a most exceptional and truly great man.
Excellent tribute! Miss seeing people value each other like this. This is what it’s all about! Thank you Denny!
Огромное сожаление. Душа мастера будет жить в его работах.
Thanks for doing such a nice tribute. I have known Timmy for 40 years, and we have shared many adventures together over the years. Some of us have been privileged enough to have rifles built by this master gun builder.
It was an honor to be able to share such a great man as this with others. You were blessed to have so much time and memories with him.
It is sad when one of these old timers takes the last trail. I hope he was able to instil a little of his spirit in those of you who were privileged to know him. Go with God Tim.
Thanks for posting. RIP Mr. Tim
Beautiful tribute video. RIP Tim Mitchell
RIP Fellow gunmaker. Watch yo topKnot.
He created beautiful weapons, works of art
He is irreplaceable. We are less without him here.
@@FolkFirearmsCollective I remember seeing posts about him on your IG page. You helped people who otherwise wouldn't have had the chance be exposed to an incredible craftsman
I remember seeing posts about his works, and you asking those who knew him to keep his name quiet. I’m saddened to learn his name this way. Thank you for sharing his work with us. May they stand the test of time.
It was a great pleasure to have met Tim Mitchell. I miss you Rae and my prayers are with you.
A beautiful tribute. You guys inspire me.
I want to thank all of you folks for this tribute to my brother Tim . He really was an exceptional man . Even though we lived many miles apart , we were close as brothers could be . He professed a belief in our creator GOD & my only prayer is that he had a personal relationship with our LORD JESUS THE CHRIST . Looking forward to seeing you in HIS arms . By the way , you can see some of his guns in Pirates of the Caribbean ( double barrel blunderbus) , derringer in American Treasure with Nicolas Cage & colonel Travis' gun in The Alamo played by one of the Quaid brothers
Thank you Mark! I hope to see you if possible at his memorial. I was privileged to spend time with Tim and he shared these movie guns with me as well. I was fortunate to know him and my biggest regret is not spending more days out there to visit with him .
