Tim was a member of the FOE in Spruce. He loved riding the lawnmower, cutting grass, and weed whacking. He was a proud fan of the Detroit Tigers and Lions. He played cards and Cribbage with his wife daily. His grand dogs loved sitting on his lap while he watched his grandchildren play Tetris 2. Last Thanksgiving, his whole family went to Naples, Florida and made wonderful memories. He made coffee for his daughter every morning when she visited. He always had a stash of Twinkies on hand. He had a big smile on his face every time he won Aces to the Kings with his family and could brag about winning for hours. He did so much for everyone and helped out whenever he could. He will be forever missed and loved.
