Tim loved reading and would read just about anything. He played "Risk" every time he got together with his best friends, Matt and Dave. He loved his mother’s cooking, especially her tollhouse pan cookies.

A true family man, any time Tim spent with his parents, sister and close friends was time well spent in Tim's opinion. He had heart to match his huge stature and would always lend a helping hand when called upon.
