LIVE Tim lived his life as a genuine, sincere, and kind person.
He lived fully and actively, refusing to act his age especially while vacationing in Aptos where he would play vb, horseshoes, Kam Jam, paddleball, and go boogie boarding. Tim enjoyed humor and frequently joked or kidded around. Tim lived his life with love for his country.
LOVE Foremost, he loved his family and life in general. Tim traveled extensively,
but enjoyed our family vacations in Aptos and Maui. Staying active was
important to Tim; he played golf, tennis, and had lunches with friends. Tim
had a love for America.
LAUGH He laughed at his own corny jokes and at the little things in life. He
laughed with his grandchildren. Family gatherings were guaranteed to be filled with laughter.
LEARN Diane tells of how since she and Tim married in their very early 20s that
they actually grew up and matured together; learning valuable lessons
such as unconditional love and patience. Others learned from Tim’s
mellow disposition to relax, stay calm, and the importance of humor. He
was a role model who demonstrated how to be a loving dad and
supportive parent.
LEGACY Tim will most certainly be remembered as the loving, sincere, family- oriented man that he was.
Due to the current COVID protocols for Sac/ Placer/ El Dorado county, guests must wear protective masks at all times while inside the funeral home facility and practice the recommended six foot social distancing.
