For a time, he and Sally owned and operated a local establishment called ‘Tim’s Tavern’. He then was employed at Diebold in Hebron from which he retired.

Tim was an avid runner, running many 5K and 10K races and marathons. He also enjoyed golfing with his buddies. An avid sports fan, Tim was a huge Cincinnati Reds fan and would never let an inning go unwatched. He was a tried-and-true fan of the Cleveland Browns, being loyal to them through many rough seasons. His love for sports helped him cope with the loss of his dear wife, Sally, they gave him hope and comfort in the times where he felt much grief. Tim taught his family about friends, family and faith.
