For the past four years he was with Veterans Trading Company. Tim was a valuable member of the ownership team and served as the Boeing Program Manager, providing leadership and support for 50 professionals dedicated to the procurement of spare parts for Boeing Commercial Aircraft. His ability to lead by example may have been his greatest contribution, as his integrity, compassion, and quiet dignity set him apart.

His wife Kelly's family also considered him one of their own and they all mourn him deeply. Tim was pre-deceased by his father, Neil, and his mother, Patty, who passed away eight days before her son.His hobbies included golf, mountain biking, hiking and camping. He was a devoted father, spending time in classroom activities, field trips, assistant coaching and cheering for many years at water polo games, lacrosse games and cross country meets just to name a few. Tim loved his kids' friends and relished a crowded house full of assorted teenagers. He loved playing basketball with the kids. He enjoyed watching football and boxing matches, playing ping pong, and drafting fantasy football leagues which always led to friendly competition with the kids and their friends.All who really knew him tend to agree: Tim was authentic, generous and a gentle soul. He was an out-of-the-box thinker, both professionally and personally. He listened much more than he talked, and his laughter was contagious. He will be profoundly missed.A Celebration of Tim's Life will be held at StoneRidge Country Club, 17166 Stoneridge Country Club Lane, Poway, California, on December 18, 2015, from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m. (ceremony begins at 3:30).
