Tim was known and loved by many people. He loved life and lived it to it’s fullest.

His main goal in life was to make sure everyone else was happy.

Those who knew him never saw another side. He always had time for others.

He was dedicated to God, Country and family, thus his endless hours of undying love to what the Elks Club stands for.

He loved our city and volunteered joyfully in preserving it.
