Up to 600 people have gathered today to mourn Tim McLean, the 22 year-old victim of the Greyhound bus slaying that shocked the world.

More than 136,000 people have joined the FACEBOOK group "R.I.P Tim McLean" to express sympathy with relatives and friends.

McLean was ``a little guy with a heart bigger than you could know,'' his uncle, Alex McLean, said.

Before the service began, John Jorgensen, 19, who lived in the same west Winnipeg neighborhood as McLean, remembered him as an uplifting, positive guy.

``If you were in a bad mood, he would make you in a great mood,'' Jorgensen said. [/q]
