He went on to graduate from the University of Southern California in 1962, where he was a member of the Delta Sig Fraternity Phi.

His career included service in the National Guard and U.S. Army from 1963 to 1969, with postings at Ft. Ord and Ft. Gordon as part of the Military Police. Tim was a dedicated professional in the medical equipment and care industry, thriving in his role as a business and salesman. He enjoyed being outside, making calls, and listening to his favorite road music, which included Motown and country.

Tim married Mary Frances Tormey on July 11, 1964, and together they raised four children. He was also blessed with five grandchildren and welcomed many "extra" kids into their home, providing them with safety and love.
