No matter what it was, Timothy would make sure it was done right. He always did the best he could with what he had.
In his free time, Timothy enjoyed fishing trips with his friends to Montauk, New York. With a strong personality and great sense of humor, he brightened every room he walked in. His family cherishes the memories of him cooking, grilling, and spending time at his home- which he built and was so proud of. Fond memories were made at his most recent home target shooting with Alexis, landscaping and simply maintaining his land.
