A member of Strasburg Assembly of God, Tim previously attended Queen of Peace Catholic Church. Throughout his life Tim loved listening to the radio and reading the newspaper.

Tim was the best husband and everyone else had the rest. He lived by Ephesians 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her. He was a wonderful grandfather who loved his Little Princess Marlee.
