Memories of Tim McLean

Holidays

Amanda Dec 19, 2012

There isn't a Christmas that has passed without my thoughts turning to Tim's family. His parents especially. I have a 4 year old named Ethan and I cannot imagine being in their shoes ever.

Please know Tim is not forgotten.

Peace for Tim

Tracy Oct 26, 2011

I really can only say I wish them healing and peace.

My daughter who was 14 at the time. Security in Calgary is there, although I really don't think it is as professional or secure as it could be. The sequester area for the passengers is make-shift at most and I do believe that more can be done to get security protocols as the Calgary International Airport has.

The person who did this should be SENT back to his homeland of Dandong, China and let them take the burden of his incarceration, which should be PERMANENTLY. He is a very mentally unwell individual who needs to be cared for with medication and psycho-social counselling for the rest of his life.

Peace to the family of this man.

For Tim's Friends and Family

I did not know Tim but after reading various articles, it sounds like he was a free spirit with a heart of gold. My heart goes out to his friends and family....and may he rest in peace.

Justice for Tim

I just watched another Dateline story on this horrifying tragedy. Aside from all that should have, could have, would have been done...how can Greyhound refurbish this bus and put it back on the road. What an insult to all who have ever been a Greyhound passenger. I will never ride Greyhound again because of this decision. I feel that it would be so disrespectful to Tim's family and other's affected by this event. I have grandson's coming to the age of Tim when he was murdered. I can't begin to imagine....there are no words. It is seldom one sheds a real tear of a total stranger but I know of several of my friends who have, as have I. I would like to see a minimum 1 day Canada wide boycott of passenger service with Greyhound initiated. I don't know how this could be arranged but what ever I could do to let Greyhound know that they did a wrong and a bad thing (which just infuriated and shocked me and my friends even more than the tragic events of that horrible day in Canadian history) I will do it.. May you rest in peace Tom McLean. May your family gain justice for you, for themselves and for all of us who dare to care about a nice young man who should have had a long and happy life. I understand that Li could possibly be let out next year. How can this be prevented? Tim...you will always be remembered as a not-so-silent testimony as to wrong/right and you have all of us to see this never happens to anyone else ever again. You are forever in our hearts. To Tim's family I would just like to say...you more than deserve justice...you will gain it.

Justice for Tim

Peter Jun 04, 2009

I didn't know Tim until the story of his death was broadcast by the news. Like most Canadians, I'm shocked by the way our Justice system is handling V. Li, and I feel powerless to help. But I do want to be able to say something in support of the family and of the memory of Tim.

To the family of Tim McLean, my heart felt sorrow for your loss.

Heartbreaking

Kara Jan 27, 2009

I haven't heard of this story until now and it is heartbreaking. How can someone do this to another human being? It is truly horrible and I hope that justice is served to the fullest extent of the law! My heart goes out to this young man's family.

For Tim, his Family and Friends

Our Prayers

englan Oct 02, 2008

I didn't know Tim or anybody involved, but I'm deeply touched by this incident. How can this happen?! I sure hope the guy gets life in prison where he can rot because the death penalty is to easy of a death. I feel so bad for the family. I'm sure what i'm feeling is nothing compared to what they are feeling, but I'm praying for Tim and his family anyway. I hope the best for them and his friends. God Bless.

To the Family of Tim,

I have a son, 19, and I believe, in some way, he is like Tim, loving and caring and full of life, I believe your son will be around you always, he was needed somewhere else. I want the family to know, even strangers care. Bless your family..

A Soul with Footprints

Mary S. Sep 07, 2008

To the family of Tim,

Though Tim has been taken away from you, he obviously left a memory of an active, full of life young man who loved his family and what life had to offer. He was a great gift and will remain in the memories of many...even strangers.
