Tim's most favorite role has been being Paw Paw to Fisher, Asher and Beau. He has been a favorite babysitter of his grandsons. Tim was a loving and caring son and never failed to call his mother and see if she needed anything. Tim was the best big brother you could ever have. He was always there if you needed him and would have did anything for his family. He was loved by his nieces and nephews. Tim was a gentle giant and if you knew him you felt lucky and privileged to have known him or had him as your friend.
