Tim was a man who loved raising kids and working hard. He was someone that would take you in, teach you and was just a genuine true friend. He would give you the shirt off his back to anyone. He was a man of his word. He raised kids for 50 years and was always ready to take on more, his passion was in being a great father and grandfather. He worked all of the time and his joy was in his machines. He loved to joke around and could put a smile on anyone's face. He also enjoyed drinking coffee even when it was 100 degrees and eating Casey's donuts.
