Tim loved his family unconditionally. He was a cherished son, brother, father, uncle, cousin, and husband. He took these roles seriously, spending time with his eight grandchildren warmed his heart. Tim was a hero to his children and grandchildren. He loved his country and was very proud to have served in the US Army, in Korea and stationed in Hawaii, as a young adult where he formed lifelong friendships with his brothers in arms. Tim was a hard worker holding many IT positions. Eventually, he got his dream job of selling Cadillacs.

Accepting his Lord as his personal savior changed his life in the best of ways, including meeting his wife. He loved his Lord Jesus and has gone to his eternal home in Heaven. Tim was known for his wondrous sense of humor and absolutely infectious laugh, which would capture an entire room. He always proclaimed things as “Excellent!” Tim will be greatly missed by all who were fortunate enough to be touched by him.

Tim's memorial service will be at 3 p.m. on Friday (Jan. 22) at Maranatha Baptist Church, 8721 Travell Knapps Corner Road, Lyons, NY 14489.
