Tim enjoyed watching LA Dodgers baseball and rarely missed a game. He also loved playing golf and was a founding member of the Possum Ridge Golf Association. He loved raising and racing homing pigeons and spending time outdoors. He enjoyed star gazing and all things astronomy. A dedicated educator, Tim spent many years teaching and took great pride in supporting and encouraging others. Above all, he loved his family deeply; especially his boys and his wife and cherished every opportunity to attend his children’s and grandchildren’s ball games. His faith and his church were also an important part of his life.
The family would like to express their sincere gratitude to the staff of Tillery Compassionate Care and his primary care physicians for the kindness, care, and support shown to Tim during his declining health.
