Just under two weeks after he staggered into a Manhattan police station covered in blood, Timothy Caughman was remembered at his funeral Saturday morning as a man dedicated to make the world a better place through conversation. He was charged with murder as a hate crime and murder as an act of terrorism. Others lamented that some media outlets had originally mischaracterized their friend Caughman, who they knew as Hard Rock for his tough demeanor as a young man, as homeless. "Timothy Caughman, a.k.a. "I want you to remember Hard Rock, not how he died, but how he lived with a passion so great."
