Tim graduated from Horseheads High School Class of 1979 and Corning Community College. Tim first was in business with his father at Keuka Lake working at “The Vintage” and after that he worked at several local banks. For the past ten years, he was the proprietor of Allstate Insurance at the Arnot Mall with his son, Kyle. He was very community focused and a co-founder of the local Chemung BNI Chapter and on the committee for Paint the Night Pink. He was very active in his children’s youth sports including baseball, softball and basketball teams acting as coach and mentor. He was a kind, caring, fair and humble person. In addition to putting his family first and his love for the Yankees and Jets, he also put others successes before his own. He would give his shirt off his back to anyone who needed it. He handled his 6 year battle with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma cancer with strength and positivity with the support of “Team Timmy”. Tim was in remission from cancer and well on his way to recovery but succumbed to an aggressive pneumonia. He loved life, people, vacations, music, food, and time with his family and friends. Everyone loved his keen sense of humor and sarcasm.
