Upon retirement, at age 43, Tim move to Marco Island where he met and married the love of his life and partner in crime, Pam. You rarely saw one without the other—-they were a team.

Above all, Tim was so full of life and wanted nothing more than to bring smiles and laughter to everyone he met. He was a special man.
